⚠️Elevated Concerns

The 2025 Hyundai Ioniq 6 exhibits significant reliability concerns due to its electrical system issues, particularly regarding battery performance and charging port integrity. The peak failure range indicates that problems are most likely to arise early in the ownership experience, making it crucial for prospective buyers to investigate these areas thoroughly.

Key Factor:Electrical system vulnerabilities

πŸ“‹Why This Matters

Electrical system defects in modern electric vehicles can have serious implications, affecting drive power and overall safety. The recalls for the Integrated Charging Control Unit pose a risk of unexpected power loss while driving, which is alarming for a new vehicle. Furthermore, the detachment of the charging port door may lead to further complications, affecting both convenience and performance. Given the Ioniq's electric nature, any electrical issues can significantly impact user experience and reliability over time.

The ICCU had a failure and fuse also blew; vehicle needs those parts replaced. After reading about ICCU recalls, my vehicle was not in the last recall. It affected 2023-2025 models I started up my car in morning and was about to reverse out of my driveway. I heard a pop near the rear of my vehicle and then saw a "Check Electric Vehicle System" warning and battery light indicator on my dashboard. I tried driving around for a couple of minutes around my area, the car would not accelerate over 20-25 mph. I returned home and looked up the issue. My Hyundai app showed a Diagnostic Code of DTC P1A9096, which is related to the ICCU. I already have my car at a local Hyundai dealership to get it repaired under warranty but if it wasn't, I can only imagine the price it would cost to get this repaired. There should be more recalls.

I am reporting an odometer and title discrepancy involving a 2025 Hyundai Ioniq 6 (VIN: [XXX] ) purchased from Van Hyundai II LLC (Carrollton, TX) on January 6, 2025. The dealer issued two temporary tags with conflicting color entries and later reported the vehicle to the Texas DMV as having 57 miles at title assignment. However, the vehicle was involved in an accident on January 17, 2025, and the official Progressive Insurance repair estimate and Hyundai diagnostics (app data) both record approximately 535 miles at the time of loss. After the loss, the dealership and insurer (Progressive) processed a title transfer using the original Manufacturer’s Certificate of Origin (MCO), listing Progressive as buyer with $0 consideration and 57 miles. This resulted in a false odometer declaration on the title record and misrepresentation of ownership sequence. The matter is under review by the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles (Case #25-XXX) and other state agencies for related title and notary irregularities, but the mileage falsification falls under federal odometer regulations. I am submitting this to NHTSA to request review of potential violations under 49 U.S.C. Β§32705 (Disclosure of Mileage Upon Transfer) and 49 CFR Β§580.5–§580.8 (Odometer Disclosure Requirements). Supporting evidence, including the certified TxDMV title history, Progressive repair estimate, and Hyundai diagnostics..

My car was parked and I noticed that there was a bump in the sidewall of my vehicles driver front tire. This is the 2nd time this has happened in a month with factory installed tires that came with the vehicle when purchased brand new. I have had my 2025 Hyundai Ioniq 6 SEL since 12/13/2024. I already submitted an NHSTA safety ticket on 2/3/2025 due to my driver rear tire exploding while driving. Ticket # 11640496. This is extremely dangerous and can kill myself or someone else on the road, especially on highways. There is a defect in these tires that Hyundai had partnered with Pirelli to install on brand new Ioniq 6 SEL vehicles. I am lucky I caught the bump on the side of the tire before it exploded while driving. I have attached the pictures of the tire from this 2nd incident.

TIRES

Pirelli 245/40 R20 99W The driver rear tire had blown out on me as I was merging onto a highway. I heard a heard a loud pop sound and the car shook and I had to swerve back into my lane. I looked around me and there were no objects or pot holes. My tire emptied down to 7 PSI in about 5-10 seconds. I immediately pulled over to the side of the road. I inspected my tire and there was no damage to the exterior of the tire (nails, screws, debris, etc.), as well there was no scraping of the tire or abrasion. When the repair tech took off the tire to replace it he noticed the steel belt had separated on the tire and had protruded from the inside out and caused the tire to blow. This was extremely scary and dangerous. If there would have been a car to my right my car would have crashed into another car. My car is brand new and I've had it for about 1 1/2 months. It is a 2025 Hyundai Ioniq 6 SEL that was manufactured in 2024. The car has it's original tires from the manufacturer Hyundai. The tire is defective and was not safe to drive. I contacted Hyundai corporate and the dealership about this and they did nothing to reimburse me for the defective tire. I not only am still working for compensation for the tire that was $400 after taxes and fees, but I am trying to alert Hyundai about safety of this model tire.

We were not informed of the recall in a timely manner. Discovered it online and called dealer to make appointment. They would not give us an appointment for about 3-1/2 weeks and we were told we have to leave the car for 4 to 5 hours. Notification we eventually got later stated repair would take 30 minutes. The dealer provides no transportation to or from, so it means waiting there for 5 hours or paying a service to drive us home and back. This is inexcusable. The car is brand new and repair is supposed to be free. It would cost us $100 in transportation to and from if we do not wait for it. If this is a safety issue, we should not have had to wait so long for an appointment. That is NOT timely.
