Risk: A loss of drive power increases the risk of a crash.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

As I was driving home from work, a loud POP went off under my car, and sirens began to go off. I was given a critical error, and told to immediately contact a dealership. My car began to slow, and would only go 25 mph. Luckily for me I was within a few miles of a dealership, but if I wasn't so fortunate this would have been a much larger issue. The ICCU has failed, despite already getting Hyundai's recall for this issue performed. I am now without my car for an unknown quantity of time.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

I own a 2024 Hyundai Ioniq 6 that experienced a complete 12V battery failure at under 500 miles of use, despite showing normal voltage levels (12.5V off, 13.25V while attempting a jump). The vehicle was undrivable and could not start, even though the main battery (MV) was at 70% charge. There were no prior warning lamps or messages before the failure. The vehicle had to be towed and left inoperable for nearly 30 days. According to the servicing Hyundai dealership, the root cause was determined to be a failure caused by Hyundai’s own connected app, Bluelink — which the dealer explicitly said is the root cause for my batteries failure. Hyundai Motor America, however, has refused to acknowledge this diagnosis, and despite repeated inquiries over a 60-day period, has not provided any explanation or confirmation of the cause. They continue to point back to the dealer while providing no warranty-related answers, no documentation of testing done, and no safety assurance that the failure won’t recur. The issue puts safety at risk, as the 12V battery’s failure renders the entire EV completely disabled — without warning. This creates potential for owners to be stranded, especially if the issue occurs in unsafe or remote locations. In my case, roadside assistance failed to be able to pick up the vehicle twice, resulting in a 12-hour ordeal. Hyundai has made no effort to formally investigate the potential connection to Bluelink and appears to be suppressing acknowledgment of the defect trying to offer me a one month payment instead of acknowledging or confirming this is a possible issue that can happen again in the future contingent on me saying my concerns are resolved; they're not. The resolution involved a tech having to use a third party tech line & no data within the invoice. I believe this is a broader safety issue affecting other Hyundai EVs using the Bluelink system and that NHTSA should investigate whether this poses systemic risk across affected vehicles.

INCIDENT ONE: On 3/20/25 about 5 minutes after starting Climate Control on my Ioniq 6, I cleaned snow off the car and started it. As I started backing out, there was a loud warning sound and red indicators around the aerial image of the car on the dashboard. I double checked my surroundings and found no obstructions, so I continued to back out. As I began to turn the car into the direction I needed to head down the street, the car abruptly stopped. I had to put the car back into Drive and pulled forward. I checked again for snow on the bumpers and found none, so I backed out again, this time successfully. When I reached the intersection and tried to turn, the car again abruptly stopped and automatically sounded the horn. The car stopped in the lane of oncoming traffic, but there were no cars approaching. Again I had to put the car back into Drive. I pulled over and took a cloth and glass cleaner to wipe down the cameras. After doing this, I was able to continue on my commute without seeing red lines around the image of the car and without being abruptly stopped when turning. The dealer was unable to reproduce the problem, which they attempted to do under different weather conditions from those on the morning of March 20th. INCIDENT TWO: On 4/7/25, driving on a four-lane highway, a car pulled in front of me without signaling. I tried to alert them to my presence by sounding the horn. The space in the center of the steering wheel (with the horn icon on it) produced no sound when pressed. This was alarming. Fortunately I was able to slow down, and I was not hit by a car from behind. Later. I tried the horn again several times with no sound produced. The dealer repaired the horns.

Since implementation of the recall (software update on ICCU) in January, the 12v battery has gone dead 3 times (every ~3 weeks) while the vehicle was parked overnight. It hadn't had this problem in the 6 months prior to the software update, and the dealer shop is unable to diagnose a problem. They say they are unable to reverse the software "fix" which seems to have caused the problem, and refuse to replace the ICCU.

SEAT BELTS

The contact owns a 2024 Hyundai Ioniq 6. The contact stated that upon attempting to install a child safety seat, the rear driver's and passenger's side seat belt tongues failed to fit into the buckle, preventing the seat belt from fastening securely, and compromising the safety restraint system. No warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer or an independent mechanic. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown. The VIN was not available.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL

Today, I had a scary situation on my 2024 Hyundai Ioniq 6 limited. While backing out of a parking space, I put my foot on the brake to place the car in drive and the car kept rolling back no matter what I did and almost crash into the car park across. I was able to finally stop the car by placing it into park repeatedly. I was inches from striking the car across when it finally came to a stop. I then attempted to place it in drive again and no dice. I had to turn the car off and back on to get it to respond and place it back to drive. Anyone else experience this helpless feeling? Quite scary. This vehicle has had the various ICCU updates performed.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER

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?
