TIRES:TREAD/BELT
Pirelli 245/40 R20 99W The driver rear tire had blown out on me as I was merging onto a highway. I heard a heard a loud pop sound and the car shook and I had to swerve back into my lane. I looked around me and there were no objects or pot holes. My tire emptied down to 7 PSI in about 5-10 seconds. I immediately pulled over to the side of the road. I inspected my tire and there was no damage to the exterior of the tire (nails, screws, debris, etc.), as well there was no scraping of the tire or abrasion. When the repair tech took off the tire to replace it he noticed the steel belt had separated on the tire and had protruded from the inside out and caused the tire to blow. This was extremely scary and dangerous. If there would have been a car to my right my car would have crashed into another car. My car is brand new and I've had it for about 1 1/2 months. It is a 2025 Hyundai Ioniq 6 SEL that was manufactured in 2024. The car has it's original tires from the manufacturer Hyundai. The tire is defective and was not safe to drive. I contacted Hyundai corporate and the dealership about this and they did nothing to reimburse me for the defective tire. I not only am still working for compensation for the tire that was $400 after taxes and fees, but I am trying to alert Hyundai about safety of this model tire.

The ioniq 6 horn is a two (2) tone horn. First, one (1) of the tones went out (lower tone). Now, the horn completely doesn't work. Reading online, this is a common issue with the 2023 & 2024 ioniq 6. This is the same horn (car is the same platform) as the ioniq 5, and lots of forums online also have people posting about their horns going out and not working at all.

I had my first ICCU recall issue, it was taken care of at Holler Hyundai in Orlando, Florida. I don't even remember seeing a recall email sent out to me, or even a call given about the ongoing recall issues. I found out about the ICCU issues from Reddit of all places, but post after post of people detailing their issues. My concern is that there's numerous post, about EV battery failure while driving or getting ready to take a trip. Imagine getting locked out of your car in freezing temperatures? Due to it being an EV it's a lot more difficult to start or get in, and I don't always carry my physical key. I only received on key, so imagine if I lose that one. You can't use the app or key fob to get in, cause everything works off the 12v battery which is in operable at that point. Hyundai is not addressing this issue with its customers, or even potential customers which is disheartening. It only takes one fatal mistake before something horrible happens. At this point I don't feel safe driving it, definitely won't plan any trip more than 20 miles. Have you guys heard any news on the ICCU issue, what's causing it mechanical, software or otherwise?

4 days after having recall 272 performed by the dealer the ICCU on the vehicle failed. Warning lights indicated failure and to stop the vehicle. Luckily, only 1 mile from home and drove it home under reduced power . Called the dealer (70 miles away) and was told to tow the car to them. Car was diagnosed with ICC failure. Replacement had to be ordered but might take at least 4 weeks.

While driving, "check power system" warning appeared on this 2023 Hyundai Ioniq 6. Moments later an alarm sounded advising to stop driving and turn off engine. I was able to drive to a safe place although the vehicle would not accelerate beyond approximately 15 mph. Car was conveyed by carrier truck to dealer where as of this date it has remained for two weeks as the service department awaits parts. Note: all prior software updates/recalls had been completed before this unfortunate incident occurred.

Vehicle horn suddenly stopped working. Couldn't alert another driver who didn't see my vehicle and was cutting me off. Took the vehicle to the dealership who mentioned it was a safety issue and repaired the horn at no cost. Read several posts online where other Ioniq 6 drivers have reported horn malfunctions. No warning lights or messages appeared before or during the incident.

We were not informed of the recall in a timely manner. Discovered it online and called dealer to make appointment. They would not give us an appointment for about 3-1/2 weeks and we were told we have to leave the car for 4 to 5 hours. Notification we eventually got later stated repair would take 30 minutes. The dealer provides no transportation to or from, so it means waiting there for 5 hours or paying a service to drive us home and back. This is inexcusable. The car is brand new and repair is supposed to be free. It would cost us $100 in transportation to and from if we do not wait for it. If this is a safety issue, we should not have had to wait so long for an appointment. That is NOT timely.

Driving on middle lane of fast freeway with kids in the car. The car began beeping lights of an electric malfunction, a 12v battery malfunction, an ICCU malfunction and then started to slow down all the way to 3 miles per hour and then it stopped in the middle of the freeway. A car behind us almost crashed into us and would have killed us. I feel very u safe and Hyundai will not do anything about it. It’s a one year old lease of a 2024 EV with barely 10k miles on it. They are not fixing in time and it also shows a recall that they didn’t accommodate or were able to schedule.

Both the high and low tone horns on the car failed with 7500 miles on the vehicle. This has caused the inability to warn other drivers of lane encroachment or alerts. The part is being replaced under warranty currently waiting on the part to arrive. Estimated repair date 11/22/24 As a member of multiple Hyundai Ioniq groups this seems to be a common failure across more Hyundai models then just the Ioniq.

To date, our experience driving the 2024 Hyundai Ioniq 6 has been a total "NIGHTMARE." We've had 2 "TERRIFYING ACCIDENTS" within the first 6 months of leasing this vehicle, Both caused by "Unintended Acceleration Issues," the car "randomly" accelerates, on it's own! 1st ACCIDENT (4/25/2024) - As my wife pulls into our driveway, the car suddenly accelerates (un-commanded) and smashes in the garage, the damage was over $8,000 dollars, (we paid out of pocket) ... Thank God, she was not HURT! State Farm Insurance paid over $20K to repair the car, we paid $500 deductible. It took over 10 weeks to complete all repairs. After we got the car back, my wife was "very apprehensive" to drive for two weeks, finally, able to summon enough courage, she got back behind the wheel and then came the 2nd ACCIDENT( 8/25/24) - While pulling into a Jamba Juice parking spot, the car did it "AGAIN," (unintended acceleration), Jumping the curb, plowing into greenery, shrubs and block wall. Again, 'EXTREMELY" fortunate no one was hurt of "KILLED!" The car was towed to SLO Hyundai Dealership, then back to Kaisen Collision Center, for 2nd time, all within 6 weeks! The repair completion date, is estimated for 9/13/24 with approximate cost at $13K dollars, to date. "REGARDLESS" of all that, we feel blessed to be "WALKING AWAY," from the vehicle, (literally & figuratively)! We are "DONE" ... the car is a total "DEATH TRAP." Immediately following ACCIDENT #2, we called SLO Dealership to report (2nd accident), stating, we are "FINISHED" with the car & "REFUSE" to drive it again! SLO Dealership was apologetic and stated they could "VOID OUT" Lease Agreement, "ONLY" if we paid dealership, roughly $8K dollars (Citing: "Car Depreciation," after "YOUR" Two Accidents - CarFax report). Now, this where the rubber meets the road, we vehemently refrut dealerships allocation, we take total culpability, paying them an extra $8K to return this (heavily documented), "FLAWED" vehicle.

I received the safety recall letter and attempted to make an appointment with Modern Hyundai of Concord, NC. Service appointments were listed online beginning at the end of August and had available time slots, I wanted to check on any further availability so I called. Once I had the service department on the phone I was told that the earliest they would be able to schedule me is in October. I reiterated this was a safety recall and I purchased the vehicle from this dealership and was told that the dealership is a "high volume service center" and nothing could be done until October.

This incident just happened around 9:50pm. I have a 2024 ioniq 6 SEL with 2900 miles. I lost power to my motor while going below 45 mph. The gage that shows acceleration and recharge, zeroed out, showing absolutely nothing. Once I came to a complete stop, I had to restart the car for the accelerator to work. I am on 37% charge. This is not a low charge. There were no warning lights or sounds. I had smart ventilation on as well as lane assist. The steering wheel control became very sticky as the car began to lose power. I am thankful that this was a low speed occurrence and not highway speeds. The fact that I couldn’t accelerate means that if something was oncoming, I was in essence a sitting duck. This is the first time the problem has occurred in my vehicle and has not been inspected.
