I was parking my car a Hyundai Ioniq 6, in an easy parking space when I briefly removed my foot, which was lightly depressed on the gas pedal to hit the brake pedal, the car suddenly accelerated jumped the curb hit another car and hit a tree. The airbag did not deploy I am uninjured. The other car was parked, but was damaged. My car was damaged. It all happened in about two or three seconds and my foot was no longer on the gas pedal. Moreover, the automated systems for parking collision warning, and for automatic stopping did not work. This is what came up when I googled it. Reports suggest some Hyundai Ioniq models, including potential Ioniq 6 instances, may exhibit unexpected, brief acceleration following a software update meant to address a separate braking recall. This issue is often linked to the "N-shift" mode, where the car may accelerate for 2-3 seconds after the driver lifts their foot. I had that software update
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.
