2025 IONIQ 5 LTD
Absolutely the best car I've ever had. I'm 87 and have had a car since I was 17. But, and this is a big one, I am absolutely appalled that Hyundai hasn't fixed the ICCU (? think that's what it's called) that controls charging the 12 vdc battery from the main traction battery. The car left me stranded after having it for only 6 months when the 12 v battery died. Hyundai replaced the battery at no charge (thank you for that) and sent me home. From what I've been able to find out this has been going on for several years and it's entirely possible the problem could happen again. If fact I'm now getting a message saying the battery is discharging due to external electrical devices - whatever that means. So how do I feel comfortable taking the car on a trip knowing that the battery may fail again and leave me stranded. NOT GOOD! Why doesn't Hyundai just fix and replace the ICCU, if that's what the problem is. Apparently this issue has been known for several years and Hyundai made a fix, but why didn't they recall all the cars that may have the problem and fix them. Come on folks, this is not how you keep happy customers. Lexus would never allow something like this to continue. My IONIQ is a short term lease and I would hope to replace it with another Hyundai EV but not if I can't have more confidence in Hyundai to fix known problems.
