2021 HYUNDAI IONIQ PLUG-IN HYBRID

Filed May 26, 2026


Installing a car seat and the belt buckle failed. The plastic part split and no longer holds the belt together. This was under regular pressure with standard leverage that the car seat design calls for. Nothing was ever on top of the buckle and it is not damaged in any other way at all other than the failure. They refused to replace it via warranty.

2022 HYUNDAI IONIQ HYBRID

Filed May 26, 2026


The contact owns a 2022 Hyundai Ioniq Hybrid. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds and while passing a nearby vehicle on the left lane or while a street sign was nearby on the right side, the vehicle would independently apply the brakes without the brake pedal being depressed. No warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was taken to a local dealer, where it was diagnosed; however, the failure was not identified. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure…

2018 HYUNDAI IONIQ PLUG-IN HYBRID

Filed May 13, 2026


I am writing to dispute the denial of my paint defect warranty claim formally and to demand that Hyundai Motor America reconsider its decision. My 2018 Hyundai Ioniq (Silver, VIN: [XXX] ) is exhibiting significant paint bubbling — the identical defect that Hyundai has already acknowledged and accepted responsibility for in white-painted vehicles across multiple model years. Timeline of Events • I first contacted Hyundai Customer Care by phone, and was directed to visit an authorized…

2020 HYUNDAI IONIQ HYBRID

Filed May 12, 2026


While attempting a slow right turn from a complete stop at an intersection, I heard a loud thunk sound followed by an immediate loss of power steering response. The steering wheel spun freely with little resistance while the front tires did not respond proportionally. I was able to safely pull over. Upon restarting the vehicle it produced an abnormal wheezing sound suggesting additional mechanical stress. At the time of the failure the vehicle had approximately 40,000 miles, which I believe…

2019 HYUNDAI IONIQ PLUG-IN HYBRID

Filed Apr 22, 2026


Supplemental to my complaint filed April 18, 2026 regarding Dick's Hillsboro Hyundai (dealer code OR035). The dealership's Service Manager (Robin Farr) provided me with an HMA training report from Hyundai's internal system. Every staff member is listed at Certified: the baseline tier. No one is above this level. No EV/HEV-specific certification is indicated for any individual. Despite this, the dealership confirmed by phone they could service a 2019 Ioniq PHEV, then performed ICCU/DC-DC…

2019 HYUNDAI IONIQ PLUG-IN HYBRID

Filed Apr 18, 2026


Following a 12V auxiliary battery replacement at Dick's Hillsboro Hyundai [XXX] , April 3, 2026), the battery hold-down bracket was left completely unsecured. The retaining bolts were absent, (later found loose in the cargo tray area). The battery terminal cover was also improperly secured. I returned to the dealership within twenty minutes of collecting my vehicle and described the condition directly to Service Manager Robin Farr, who assured me it would be corrected. It was not. On April…

2020 HYUNDAI IONIQ HYBRID

Filed Mar 31, 2026


The charge controller failed twice and one of the times I was out on a dangerous road where there wasn’t a safe spot to pull over. It was very sketchy.

2022 HYUNDAI IONIQ HYBRID

Filed Mar 14, 2026


Electric parking break and auto hold sensor lights on dash, manual indicates malfunction. Hyundai service center has investigated and replaced the faulty sensor but issue still remains.

2019 HYUNDAI IONIQ HYBRID

Filed Jan 30, 2026


The system lost its ability to audibly warn me of various conditions that were a risk to everybody in the car. Examples of alerts we could not here were: blind spot collision warning, cross traffic while backing up, driver attention alert when hands are not on the steering wheel, and audible blinker sounds. After the loss of the audible alerts, I nearly collided with vehicles that were in my blind spot because the alert was no longer present.

2020 HYUNDAI IONIQ HYBRID

Filed Jan 29, 2026


The horn on my 2020 Hyundai Ioniq has stopped working. I checked the fuses and they are all good. Hyundai currently has several other models with recalls or at least known to fail. Yes my vehicle is available for inspection and no I have not had it looked at yet… dealer wants to keep it for 3-5 days to diagnose and further, given the nature of the issue, I don’t feel I should be responsible for any fees involved in doing so. It poses me a major safety concern as I cannot warn other cars of…
