What owners report
Short excerpts of NHTSA complaints in the original wording. These are owner statements not verified by NHTSA; personal data removed.
The vehicle in front of me started turning and pulling away, I rolled forward at about 8mph and looked left. The vehicle that was in front of me had stopped after beginning to pull away. I didn't notice.
The Forward Collison Warning light comes on intermittently, as do other gauge lights, after the accident.
The Auto Hold and EPB orange warning lights emerged while commuting to work, which are associated with the brakes. The problem was diagnosed by the dealer because the other car we own is also an Ioniq and we have had two different Auto Hold problems noted with that automobile (NHTSA tracking numbers 11761449 and…
The Auto Hold and EPB orange warning lights have been a recurring problem with our 2022 Hyundai Ioniq. We first noticed the car exhibit a jerky/jolting hesitation after accelerating from a complete stop which was reported to the dealership with confirmed paperwork at ~52K miles.
The Auto Hold and EPB orange warning lights have emerged for the second time on this vehicle after fixing an initial Auto Hold/EPB problem at mileage ~88-89K (tracking number assigned by NHTSA for this issue was 11761449).
The contact stated that while operating the vehicle with the Smart Cruise Control activated, the EPB (Electronic Parking Brake) warning light activated. Additionally, while stopped, the EPB erroneously deactivated, causing the vehicle to drive forward, and the driver had to manually depress the brake pedal to stop the…
All of a sudden, my car started shaking and popped out the engine sign light and other lights on the dashboard. Car moved straight up to about a distance of 50 meters and stopped on the rod side. This incident happened on the residential street not on the Highway.
I get in the car, Auto Hold (which usually appears when I press the button) will suddenly pop on my screen but won't work. The break won't hold, it's just there. It scares me that it has something to do with the breaks themselves in the long run.
