2022 Hyundai Ioniq problems
The Hyundai Ioniq is a compact five-door liftback manufactured and marketed by Hyundai. The nameplate Ioniq is a portmanteau of ion and unique. It is marketed as the first Hyundai automobile to be offered without a standard internal combustion engine, but rather sold in hybrid, plug-in hybrid, and all-electric variants.
The Ioniq Hybrid debuted in South Korea in January 2016, with all three variants debuting at 2016 Geneva and New York auto shows. The hybrid variant launched in its home market in February 2016, followed by the electric model in July 2016. The plug-in hybrid version followed in February 2017.
From its first model year (2017) through the 2019 model year, the Ioniq Electric had been the EPA's most efficient vehicle with a rated fuel economy of 136 miles per gallon gasoline equivalent (24.8 kWh/100 mi; 15.4 kWh/100 km). The Ioniq Blue Hybrid version has been rated at 4.1 L/100 km (58 mpg‑US), making it the most fuel-efficient hybrid vehicle to be mass-produced.
Following its discontinuation in South Korea in 2021, production of the Ioniq ended in July 2022 in favour of battery electric lineup of Ioniq-badged models starting from the Ioniq 5 hatchback and Ioniq 6 sedan with Ioniq 7 to follow.

Common 2022 Hyundai Ioniq problems
The 2022 Hyundai Ioniq Hybrid is a high-value, high-tech vehicle with a low-medium price point, offering impressive fuel efficiency and advanced features. However, there are some common problems that owners have reported, primarily related to the Integrated Charging Control Unit (ICCU) and coolant leaks.
- ICCU Failure: The ICCU is responsible for powering both the main vehicle battery and the low voltage 12V accessory battery. An over-current within the ICCU can damage transistors in the 12V battery system, affecting its ability to recharge. This issue has led to a loss of power while driving, affecting both the Hyundai Ioniq 5 and the Kia EV6. While Hyundai has initiated a service campaign to update software and replace ICCUs if necessary, it remains unclear if NHTSA will transition into a full-scale recall.
- Coolant Leaks: There has been a recall for early Ioniqs built between 4 October 2016 and 31 March 2017 related to coolant that might leak into the electric power control unit. This issue can be addressed by contacting your local Hyundai dealer if you think your car might be affected by this recall.
- Power Relay Fire Risk: Some examples of the Ioniq may suffer from a faulty power relay that could, in extreme circumstances, catch fire. Hyundai dealers are to replace the power relay and inspect the power cable and relay assembly for any damage and replace if necessary.
- Limited Spare Tire Availability: The Ioniq comes with an emergency puncture repair kit, but the lack of a spare tire is a concern for some owners. This issue has been documented by other car owners as well, and it is essential to consider this when purchasing a vehicle.
- Customer Service and Dealer Experience: Some owners have reported negative experiences with Hyundai's customer service and dealer experiences, including delays in repairs and poor communication. It is crucial to research local dealers and their reputation before purchasing a vehicle.
It is important to note that these issues are based on owner complaints and may not affect all 2022 Hyundai Ioniq Hybrid vehicles. Additionally, many of these issues have been addressed under warranty, according to participants in reliability surveys.
What is the problem with the Hyundai Ioniq electric car?
WASHINGTON, June 19 (Reuters) - U.S. auto safety regulators are investigating nearly 40,000 Hyundai (005380. KS) , opens new tab Ioniq 5 electric vehicles over reports of power loss while driving tied to a battery charging issue.
Is Hyundai Ioniq reliable?

Why did Hyundai discontinue the Ioniq?
Is the IONIQ still being built? No, in July 2022, production of the original Hyundai IONIQ ended at the Ulsan plant in South Korea. Why was the original IONIQ discontinued? The worldwide discontinuation of IONIQ represents a long-planned decision by Hyundai to meet changing consumer demands in the automotive sector.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2022-01-03
- VIN: KMHC05LCXNU
- Components: ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
- Summary: The hold app doesn't work very well. Since first check up in 2022, I mentioned to garage that I have to push on button every time I need to use it as opposed to pressing on it and removing it when desired. However, not the main issue. 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. I've spoken about it twice before and the garage stated that they couldn't see it so couldn't do anything about it. The issue popped on my dashboard one day and I drove straight to the dealership. They said they had no loaner and would call me. This was more than a month ago. I'm tired of trying to get them to address the issue and hoping that I'm not the only one having it.

STEERING,FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2023-11-19
- VIN: KMHC65LC1NU
- Components: STEERING,FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE
- Summary: Forward collision warning light appears on, when there is no noticeable event immediately. "Glitch-like" flash across the dashboard appears. Vehicle continues to display wheel misalignment after two alignment procedures, values indicate possible safety concern.
2023-11-02
SERVICE BRAKES,FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2023-07-13
- VIN: KMHC05LC3NU
- Components: SERVICE BRAKES,FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE
- Summary: The EPB light appeared on the dash panel of the car on 7/13/2023, along with the EPB light, the cruise control, the auto hold function, and the electric parking brake stopped functioning. The light will disappear on a restart and reappear after a period of time. It is indeterministic when the light will reappear on the dashboard. I have tried to contact the nearest dealer in an attempt to get the car inspected for safety reasons, however, the dealer was unavailable and Hyundai national customer service was unable to help. Hyundai's national customer service representative was also being deceptive as they transferred me to a dealer that is 425 miles away from the location I told them while giving me the impression that they were transferring me to a local dealer. The car was eventually inspected by two different Hyundai dealers. The first dealer informed me that there was a short on the wire which caused the error. However, due to the fact I was moving at the time, I could not wait for them to fix the car at that moment. They stated the vehicle was safe to drive and that I could bring the car to the new dealer once I moved to the new location. When I brought the car to the new dealer, instead of the wiring error, they stated that the radar of the car had failed. Since then, they have performed repairs on the car and the error has not yet occurred. This is a significant concern of safety due to various reasons. First, the electric parking brake is an important component of the car, as in the event of a break failure, the electric parking brake is the only backup to ensure the car can be stopped before any catastrophic event. Furthermore, according to the dealer, the actual component that has failed is the radar. However, I do not recall, at any moment, the car has warned me that the radar has failed. This could cause any reasonable person to assume the radar is functioning properly and believe that the forward collision-avoidance assist is still active with no

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,SERVICE BRAKES,FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2022-01-20
- VIN: KMHC65LC4NU
- Components: ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,SERVICE BRAKES,FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE
- Summary: Shortly after purchasing my Ioniq (roughly 2 months into ownership) my dashboard started beeping with warning signs for my EPB and auto-hold brake. I panicked and parked my car and tried to turn off the functions because I thought I had accidentally turned them on but they wouldn’t turn off. This would continue at random for roughly 7 more months until it would stay on for weeks at a time. I was told there was nothing the dealership could do about it and was asked about my oil changes. I get my oil changes within the intervals set for the vehicle and it does not seem to affect if the lights come on or off. They beep constantly and also the EPB and Auto-hold features do not work when the light comes on, the fail. It’s a safety risk as when I do try to engage them they don’t work and makes me fearful that they will short and work at random times which is a huge concern.

SERVICE BRAKES,FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2022-11-27
- VIN: KMHC85LCXNU
- Components: SERVICE BRAKES,FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE
- Summary: While driving, the adaptive cruise control will randomly become disabled and 3 lights pop on: EPB, Auto Hold, and check engine (triangle with ! In the middle). Check engine light will turn off if ACC is turned of entirely. Problem will persist as long as car is on. Once turned off and restarted it will stay off for a while and then come back on. Stays off longer when car has an overnight break but other times it will happen as soon as it's turned on. Cruise control will not work when this issue appears. Picture shows milage but that was May 31st 2023, not the 1st time back in November, 2022. It happened the 1st time after a drive from Lancaster, CA to Pheonix, AZ on the return (about half way)

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2023-04-05
- Crash: 1
- VIN: KMHC65LC9NU
- Components: FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE
- Summary: Stopped in a right turn lane with a vehicle in front of me stopped. It 1as a right turn with a yield sign. 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. I rear ended the vehicle a white newer body style town and country mini van set up with a rear wheel chair ramp like the Braun style vans. My right front of bumper close to the emblem on the hood contacted the left rear bumper of the van. I'd say the whole left side of emblem over to edge of vehicle. No airbag deployment. But the forward collision warning didn't go off and the AEB SYSTEM also did not engage. The system seems to be functioning properly. There is no warning lights on the dash. And the system has activated before, both the forward collision warning and the AEB. The following day while turning around on a dead ened street, the forward collision warning engaged the chime whenni got close to another vehicle. The system has engage early before, the dealer checked for codes a long time ago after complaining about early.or false engagements. The vehicle is stated to be inspected by hyundai this week. The current mileage is 49,000. The vehicle has never been in an accident before this. It is going in to check the electronic parking brake system as we have had faults in the auto hold system where it faults and stops working and a light does come on the dash, but doesn't store codes and resets when you cycle the key off and back on. It's been scheduled to go in before the accident. This system is in place to help stop forward collisions with pedestrians, vehicles and other objects. It failed. It could have injured someone or killed them. I also have dashcam video of the incident if this gets for enough for an investigation, I can email it.

SERVICE BRAKES,FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2023-02-03
- VIN: KMHC75LC3NU
- Components: SERVICE BRAKES,FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE
- Summary: On 12/25/21 less than 2 months after purchase, amber color warning lights came on dashboard saying "AUTO HOLD" and "EPB" light up on dash and a chime noise would sound when flashing message lit up. Since warning lights weren't red I understood the feature wasn't working, that it was safe to drive, but the chime was annoying when it came on about once a week. On 8/8/22 I took the car to Selma Hyundai and paid $168 to diagnose the intermittent flashing AUTO HOLD/EPB amber light alerts. They checked functions and said if persisted they would have to replace the left hand parking brake motor. On 9/8/22 I took the car again to Selma Hyundai as the problem persisted, After another diagnosis, they ordered a left rear caliper due to an open circuit. On 10/3/22 after waiting weeks for the ordered part to arrive, Selma Hyundai replaced the left rear brake caliper. On 12/20/22 I returned to Selma Hyundai for another diagnosis as the AUTO HOLD/EPB lights were again frequently alerting on the dashboard. Hyundai factory advised them to order and replace the left rear brake wiring harness. On 1/26/23 after waiting over a month for the part, Hyundai installed the new left rear wiring harness. I was now warned that the mechanic was now seeing codes from the right rear and if the alerts persist, they would have to order the right rear wiring harness. On 2/3/23 Friday evening, I was leaving my apartment with my mother to make a Costco run. Turned the car on and the AUTO HOLD/EPB lights were on and the emergency brake was flashing RED quickly on my dashboard. I turned the car off and back on with the same result. I tried to back out of my parking stall and could feel the car trying to roll back but the parking brake would not release. I tried to roll forward a bit and the parking brake would not release to let me roll. 2/6/23 Monday morning and Selma Hyundai told me to have car towed to them and they would order the right rear brake wiring harness. No wiring harness yet.

SERVICE BRAKES PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2022-04-01
- VIN: Kmhc65lc2nu
- Components: SERVICE BRAKES
- Summary: The regenerative brakes had an error go off, which caused the brakes to stop working properly. This error went off twice, once in my driveway upon starting my car, then it reset itself. And again while driving, in which I nearly rear ended the car in front of me due to the brakes not working. Hyundai confirmed the error codes but could not reproduce. Hyundai eventually replaced components of the brakes, but I do not trust that it won't happen again. I wanted out of my lease but they refused and made me drive it again, even though I'm terrified of it happening again.
