Best most unreliable car I ever owned

Excellent to drive but unreliable and Hyundai doesn’t seem to care. I will not purchase another Hyundai until I am certain reliability is a high priority for the company.

Ioniq5 review

Overall we are satisfied with the Ioniq. The only flaw is the steering which often feels like it is fighting the driver, particularly on winding roads.

Fun-To-Drive Car

A couple of minor annoyances, but otherwise a terrific vehicle.

Happy with my Ioniq 5 Limited, but some issues

First off, I love the ride. It's much smoother than my previous EV and has more than enough pickup for my driving habits. I love the screens and CarPlay, and I would almost definitely buy it again knowing what I know now. That said, I have a few issues with it. The primary issue is the ICCU problem. I believe Hyundai is getting its hands around this, since when mine DID die (luckily the day AFTER I returned from a road trip!) I got the car back 3 days later. Nothing like the horror stories I've heard of it taking months for people to get their cars back, and what I've seen on the internet says that this isn't unique, others are also getting their cars back quickly. That's my main qualm, the reason I might not re-purchase... It's a big unknown why it happens, so there's nothing I can do to prevent it. Other than that, I only have nit-picks. The car needs to be explicitly turned on/off, it doesn't automatically lock when I walk away, and the seat moves back and forward every time I open the door. Ideally it would turn itself off (to the extent that's meaningful on an EV), would have an auto-lock to mirror its auto-unlock, and (since the car requires starting/stopping the seat would move back when you turn it off (or open the door) and only move forward when you turn the car back on. Not a huge deal. The other 'tricky' thing is with the navigation system. it's confusing that you read it bottom-up instead of top-down!! And I have twice (just in the last week) had it direct me to ChargePoint stations I couldn't use - the first time was at a Hyundai dealer in CT that would only let you charge there if you bought the car there (!!!!) and the second, the chargers (which I'd used a few weeks earlier) were being replaced. That's not necessarily a Hyundai problem, but it would be lovely if there were better synchronization between ChargePoint and the "Charging Station Search". But, overall, I'm happy with the car. I like that the rear seats can be tilted back, that there are multiple presets for the driver's seat, and that I can use my phone as digital key.

Ioniq 5 has some annoying problems

In addition to a fatal battery issue that is "known" to Hyundai, it took close to two weeks to fix. My car only had about 3000 miles on it at the time and was less than a year old. Also, a door rattle that has also been plaguing Ioniq 5s for years and is "known" to Hyundai resulted in two trips to the dealership with no fix. Our home made solution: duct tape. I generally like my car, but am disappointed that the engineers at Hyundai have not fixed long-standing problems with the model. I'm sure we'll discover more glitches in the coming years? Hope not!

My Ioniq 5

I love driving the car. I reported that the outside back passenger door handle does not work correctly about 3 months after the car was leased. I only just realized that the electric port cover also doesn’t open from the outside. Never has but I thought you could only open it from the inside until a family member explained that it should open from outside of the car. I have asked 2 different dealers three times for a repair and no one helps me. They always say it will be soon. I’m frustrated. The car has defects and I should either get a rebate or a reduced charge.

I absolutely love this suv.

We have a Tesla and the Hyundai. The Tesla rattles and everything is on the screen. Taking your eyes off the road.

It's fine to get from point A to point B

This car is not sleek or intuitive to figure out. If it was my first EV and I didn't know any different, I probably would have liked it more. It drives well, but I do not consider it to have been easy to figure out from the inside the vehicle perspective.

Excellent EV

Overall, the Ioniq 5 is an excellent vehicle. The ride is smooth and quiet. It handles well, and specially using the driving assist options. The range is reasonable, and the charging port works with the high speed chargers (15% to 85-90% charge in about 30 minutes). It is spacious and has upgrade features like heated rear seats. The cargo area is surprisingly ample. (We can fit a 2-piece kayak in the rear with room to spare.) There are a few areas for improvement. The range degrades considerably with a roof rack, achieving only the lower end of the expected range on long trips, and declines even more with a kayak carrier. The front and rear bumpers are a plastic composite, so tie downs must be attached on the inside of the hood and rear hatch. Also the roof capacity is 165 lbs, which limits what can be carried. The integrated GPS maps for navigation are very outdated and do not show many businesses built in our town over the last 5 years. These are limitations with workarounds - being careful about what and how you carry things on the roof, using CarPlay (which works very well), and keeping tabs on your range and charging stations on longer trips. I’m really enjoying the Ioniq 5 and would recommend it as a reasonably priced and equipped EV.

My Ioniq 5 Review: Excellent Car with Two Problems

Excellent car. Two issues I wish you would fix: "Hey Siri" and truck rattle. (1) The last over-the-air firmware update removed voice recognition for the command "Hey Siri". You can still summon Siri by pressing the steering wheel button. It will then recognize voice commands. But the car's Apply Car Play will not recognize "Hey Siri" even though my iPhone in the car will respond to "Hey Siri" as always. The "Hey Siri" recognition was an excellent, very useful, and safe feature. Now, the driver has to momentarily takes their eyes off the road to find and press the steering wheel button. This procedure is not as safe as the original voice command in Car Play. (2) The car has a problem with the build quality of the truck locking mechanism. It rattles on the road, over every bump. This is very annoying. The dealer has tried twice to fix it. They improved it, but did not completely eliminate the problem. It should not occur in a car of this cost and otherwise quality.

ICCU failure is unacceptable

The ICCU failed on my Ioniq 5 after about 7,000 miles. This bricked the car on the Christmas Eve, 2025. I had to have car towed to a dealer, Kirkland Hyundai, which luckily got the part quickly. But this failure of a car-paralyzing part is a chronic problem for Hyundai—one that must be resolved, one that deeply damages my faith in and respect for Hyundai.

Good car (when it runs)

Car ran flawlessly for 12k miles. It has great pep, decent range and build quality is pretty good. Unfortunately, it died last week due to the ICCD issue while my wife was driving home on a rural road. She was stranded for a couple hrs and now the car is at the dealership waiting for parts/repair. I doubt I’d trust it outside of town after this experience.

Great vehicle so far!

My wife and I acquired 2 of these 2025 models in Dec 2025. Our dealer was very easy to deal with and our salesperson (William) was EXCELLENT. The EV works exactly as advertised. The amount of cool addons really help when driving around. The cruise control is one of the best I have ever used. It is absolutely perfect in stop and go traffic. Charging is relatively fast at home. I get 10% charge per hour with my charger (Grizzl-E) a friend installed for me. The map controls are excellent. Being able to see a long trip and all charging stations along the route is excellent. The heated steering wheel was awesome this past winter. Heated seats (front and back) are also nice. Storage in the vehicle is spacious. I am one of those people that swore he would never buy an EV, yet here I am. It's faster than my 2015 GT Mustang which was built. Merging into traffic on the interstate is so cool with a car like this. You are up to speed almost instantly. All the cameras, the blind spot sensor, etc. are awesome to have.
