2023 Hyundai Ioniq 5 Driver Assist & ADAS Problems

I was traveling 70mph on Interstate 70 when I heard a loud “pop” sound and the car immediately slowed down to 20mph in heavy traffic. The care then would not go over 20mph.The car was charged at home the night prior. On the dash was the “stop vehicle and check power supply” warning. This is the very common ICCU issues known to plague the Hyundai EV fleet. This is very dangerous when your are in heavy interstate traffic going at a high rate of speed.

I suddenly received errors that my sensors weren’t working, and I can no longer use my cruise control. The car has less than 60,000 miles so it still has the full bumper to bumper warranty. I have never had a collision. So I took it in to the dealer and they said the camera was mis-aligned and is not covered under warranty. It should be covered as I’ve never had a collision. Based on my online research, many people with Hyundai Ioniq 5s have experienced this same issue at no fault of their own, so it is a systemic problem. I took the vehicle to the Pohanka Hyundai in Fredricksburg, VA

Due to a heavy brake application a water bottle in the back seat spilled and the water traveled under the drivers seat. This resulted in multiple car systems going offline, vehicle reporting LKAS error and inability to turn the car off. This essentially bricked the vehicle. Repair in order to correct the shorts and corrosion from the water both the drivers seat and main floor wiring harnesses require replacement cost estimate approximately $12,000. These key electrical connections under drivers seat are not adequately protected from simple water damage. This in my opinion makes the vehicle unfit for use as a family EV SUV as a simple water bottle still should not be able to brick a car. I consider this a design defect and the manufacturer is not covering this under warranty.

Several times now the "Check Driver Assistance System" and "Check Lane Assist System" have come on and stayed on. I brought the car dealership, and they fixed it--but only temporarily--the problem recurs within a few days of the fix. All of the sensor cameras are clean. I have read that a weak 12-volt battery can cause this problem, but the car has only 28k miles on it, so the battery should not be weak yet. I will bring the car back to the dealer (again) and have them check the 12-volt battery strength. But I am at the point where the "check system" messages are on more than they are working correctly.

Condensation builds in front of the camera. The car starts jerking all over the road with no warning. There is no error other than noticing that the car cannot keep itself in the lane. When trying to disable the features, they get turned back on automatically.

The rear video camera fails intermittently. It works sometimes and doesn't at times. The same with the rear cross traffic warning and pedestrian warning. I've taken my car to the dealer service center but they claim to not being able to reproduce the issue. I know the issue still exists since my husband hit a parked car while backing out of a driveway since there was no alert provided and the rear camera did not work.

Vehicle disengaged lane keeping ADAS without warning multiple times. Sometimes a warning beep would occur, but often on turns it would suddenly disengage without a beep or any other warning method causing me to have to yank the wheel to complete the turn correctly and avoid running off the road. This has caused me to not trust the system and fight the lane keeping feature just in case it suddenly turns off and goes into the other lane before I have a chance to correct the steering.

3 issues: 1. 2 x, driving over a hundred miles the sensors get faults. None of the sensors work. Does not detect other cars. They updated my firmware, wiping the faults. 2. Once stopped at stop light, the sensors can start detecting items not there. 3. When parking the car does not detect items that are there. (I have video, dealerships so far refuses to fix) I am still trying to get them to fix it. Additional concern, talking to other drivers, they have similar issues and responses from the Hyundai dealerships. This is for both the Ioniq 5 and 6. Pictures: shows no other car image, or sensor detection. I took the picture a behind to give context. I can provide the videos if needed. Answers to question, separated with a comma: Yes, answered above, trying to get confirmed, the car has been inspected by Hyundai service center, and the errors were wiped by a update + reset.

The contact owns a 2023 Hyundai Ioniq 5. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, a Jeep veered into the driver’s path, and the Forward Collision Avoidance: Automatic Emergency Braking system failed to activate as designed. There were no warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer, who determined the vehicle was working as designed. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The vehicle was taken to another local dealer, Feldman Hyundai of New Hudson (30492 Lyon Center Dr., New Hudson, MI 48165), who stated the vehicle was working as intended. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, but no assistance was provided. The failure mileage was approximately 15,000.

I was driving at night on a freeway marked as a 65mph speed limit. I had the adaptive cruise control turned on and set to automatically follow the road speed limit. There was intermittent rain at the time. Suddenly my car began to accelerate, but I was able to stop the acceleration by stepping on the brake to disengage cruise control. I tried re-engaging cruise control and it immediately accelerated strongly again. That is when I noticed the cruise control speed had been set to 85mph. I disengaged cruise control for the rest of my trip home and was able to drive normally. Subsequently I learned that the car detects speed limits by both map data and visually recognizing speed limit signs, so I assume it mis-identified a 65mph sign as 85mph. The auto speed feature set the cruise control speed to 85mph even though that is much higher than any possible speed limit in California. I disabled the auto speed feature of the adaptive cruise control and have not had any problem since then.

I'm surprised there are no safety recalls on this vehicle given how Cruise Control operates & how close to the Cruise Control toggle switch the steering wheel is indented for hand placement at 10 a.m./2 p.m.We purchased a 2023 IONIQ 5 on 02/25/2023.When the vehicle was delivered to us we were not told that the cruise control does not disengage when the brake pedal is applied.It merely pauses.There is nothing in the owner's manual that addresses cruise control operation.In any other vehicle we have owned, including other Hyundai vehicles, cruise control cancels when the brake pedal is depressed.Without proper training/information & without cruise control being addressed in the owner's manual we had no way of knowing this.2 months after purchasing the vehicle, while pulling into a parking space driving 3 MPH I stepped on the gas & the vehicle returned to the previously set cruise control of 45 MPH.Whereupon it went over a parking bumper, landscaping, curb, $ into a busy street, scraping the passenger rear portion of the vehicle & damaging the wheel.We took the vehicle to the dealership, Larry H. Miller on 05/03/2023. They were unable to duplicate the mishap.The GM of the dealership indicated that in all probability what occurred was inadvertent touch of the toggle switch.He indicated that this unique cruise control operation was experienced by others, including himself.On 05/24/203, he recommended we contact Hyundai Motors USA to report the incident.Doing so resulted in numerous phone conversations, emails, and 2 inspections of the vehicle. Finally, on 10/19/2023 we were advised in a HMAUSA letter of resolution that said, "no manufacturing defect was identified." They are refusing to pay the $2,247.92 repair bill (on 04/26/23.May be higher now due to rising costs.)We maintain the incident occurred due to a design flaw & unique cruise control operation.We not only want Hyundai to pay for the repairs, we want the NHTSA to investigate so this won't happen to anyone else.
