Hyundai Motor America (Hyundai) is recalling certain 2026 Ioniq 9 vehicles equipped with a Limited, Calligraphy, or Calligraphy Design trim package. The second-row power seats may fail to detect a person. As a result, the seats may continue to move after contacting a person during powered seat functions, such as automatic power fold-and-stow.
Hyundai Motor America (Hyundai) is recalling certain 2025 Ioniq 5 and 2026 Ioniq 9 vehicles. The fasteners for the rear suspension may loosen and detach, which can result in a loss of vehicle control.
Hyundai Motor America (Hyundai) is recalling certain 2025-2026 IONIQ 5 and 2026 IONIQ 9 vehicles. The high voltage battery system may contain an improperly tightened bus bar, which can cause a short-circuit.
While the vehicle was stationary, the driver pressed a saved profile button on the Integrated Memory System (IMS) on the door panel to adjust the driver's seat. A passenger was seated directly behind the driver in the second row. Upon pressing the memory button, the motorized driver's seat began moving backward toward the saved position. Whether due to a system malfunction or a lack of built-in detection features, the vehicle did not interrupt the motorized movement upon encountering an obstruction. The seat forcefully and continuously compressed backward, squeezing and trapping the second-row passenger's legs. The seat did not stop on its own and only ceased moving when it completely jammed against the passenger, causing minor physical injury to their legs. This constitutes a severe mechanical/software defect and a critical occupant crush hazard.
The door sensor on driver side does not operate, when touched does not open or close. However, the door sensor on passenger side works well. Bought car and noticed the defect in one week of ownership, after two months of waiting and diagnosing by dealership, they still were unable to find the solution.

The contact owns a 2026 Hyundai Ioniq 9. The contact stated that while triggering the front driver’s side exterior door handle sensor, the auto-flush door handle mechanism retracted without anti-pinch detection while the contact’s fingers and the daughter's fingers were positioned between the handle and the door panel on two separate occasions. The dealer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 8,000.

On XXX, while driving my 2026 Hyundai IONIQ 9, the front windshield wiper system completely stopped operating. I activated the windshield washer because the windshield was dirty. Washer fluid sprayed normally onto the windshield, but the front wipers did not move. I then tried AUTO, LOW, and HIGH settings, and none of them worked. This created a safety hazard because washer fluid remained on the windshield and reduced visibility while I was driving. I immediately pulled over and parked in a safe location. I tested the wipers again while parked, but they still did not operate. After arriving at my workplace, I tested them again and they remained inoperative. I recorded a video while the malfunction was occurring. The video clearly shows that the windshield wipers would not operate. The vehicle and wiper system are available for inspection upon request. I then turned the vehicle completely OFF for approximately five minutes. After restarting the vehicle, the windshield wipers began operating normally again without any repair. The failure has therefore not yet been reproduced by a dealer or confirmed by a service center. On XXX, I drove to Glassman Hyundai in Southfield, Michigan and requested an inspection as a walk-in. The dealer did not accept the vehicle for diagnosis that day and scheduled the earliest available service appointment for XXX. The vehicle has not yet been repaired. I did not observe any warning lights, warning messages, or other symptoms immediately before the windshield wiper failure. I am concerned that this intermittent failure could occur again while driving in rain or snow, resulting in sudden loss of forward visibility and creating a serious crash risk. The below is the link for the video. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

On XXX, I experienced a safety-related problem with a rear door on my 2026 Hyundai IONIQ 9. While the vehicle was parked, I attempted to open the rear door from inside the vehicle, but the door would not open. The child lock was believed to be OFF at the time. I attempted to operate the interior door handle, but the rear door remained locked and could not be opened from inside. This incident was directly witnessed by one of my coworkers, who was present when the problem occurred and can confirm what happened if additional information is required. I am concerned that an occupant could be unable to exit the vehicle in an emergency if this condition occurs again. A rear door that cannot be opened from inside could create a serious safety risk in situations involving a crash, fire, electrical malfunction, or other emergency requiring immediate evacuation. The vehicle and rear door locking system are available for inspection upon request. On XXX, I drove the vehicle to Glassman Hyundai in [XXX] because of this issue and a separate windshield wiper safety concern. The dealership did not accept the vehicle for a walk-in diagnosis that day. The earliest available service appointment was scheduled for XXX. The rear-door problem has not yet been reproduced or confirmed by a Hyundai technician, and no repair has been performed. I am not aware of any warning light or warning message related to the rear-door condition before or during the incident. I am submitting this complaint because the inability to open a rear door from inside the vehicle could prevent an occupant from exiting during an emergency, even though the door may operate normally at other times.
