Sandra’s Hyundai

I have only one complaint. The rear view mirror camera flickers on and off.

Jeff’s review

So, I’m very happy. Some of the controls are not very intuitive, and I wish there were a couple of dials instead of having to be distracted from driving while I’m trying to put my finger on the right spot.

2026 Hyundai IONIQ 5 Review

Great vehicle. Couple of really annoying oversights. The charging pad heats and up does not charge iPhones -- this is a widely known issue and surprised you haven't fixed it yet. TBH, this should be a recall item. Second, your walk away lock is not what people are thinking it is. You need to actually implement walk away lock when you exit your vehicle. I had to purchase a 3rd party product for $200 to get this work.

Meh

I liked it for the first 1800 miles. Then the thing died. I waited six weeks for a new drive motor, because apparently that was what had failed. I was given an inferior rental car. When I finally got my car back, I cannot make the smart key work, I’m happy that the car runs, but it’s annoying that the smart key won’t pair.

I love my Ioniq 5. Hyundai customer care, not so much

I do love my new car. I picked it up in mid June, and already have 4300 miles on it. We've done a couple of road trips (about 400 miles round trip), and the car drove like a dream over every kind of road. It's my first EV, and I wonder why I didn't take the plunge sooner. The regen and driver assistance took a little while to get used to, and I'm still learning how best to use them. If I had another $5k to spend, I would have gone for the Limited, but honestly I couldn't justify that much for seat memory and a sunroof, and my SEL AWD has everything else I need. Now my complaint. I have a 2026, which I decided on in part after checking out my brother in law's 2025. He told me about (and showed me) his digital key card, which he (and the Quick Reference Guide) both said was an option on the EV menu. I couldn't find it. I called the my dealer, and never got a clear answer. So I called Hyundai Customer Care. After a 45 minute conversation (yes, it's a genuine Hyundai part, yes my bil's car has the identical trim level, and so on). I got a lame "they must h ave deleted the option for owner programming as part of the model change." So I should take it to the dealer, and I did. I was more than a bit unhappy about having to pay the hourly rate, but here's the kicker. I waited more than two hours, and when I learned that the service tech was still on hold for Hyundai tech to give him an access code needed to do the job. The dealer's service was great, but they got the same kind of support that I had gotten.

Getting Picky After Living With the Ioniq 5

Finding things I like and don't like about the Ioniq 5. I own the car, so I shouldn't call it ugly, think AMC Pacer, but it is plain. Not stylish on the outside, but I really like the interior and the openness of the passenger compartment. It's comfortable and grey interior is balanced by the white interior so it looks good together. The turning radius is poor compared to my Subaru Outback, but apparently it comes from the longer wheelbase and 19" rims.

CLOSE TO 5 STARS

Only frustrated by annoying message to KEEP MY EYES ON THE ROAD AND HANDS ON THE WHEEL while doing just that. They should fix that with a software update.

It's Not The Car, It's The Care.

I bought this car June 11, 2026. I have trouble with Hyundai of Palm Springs fixing issues associated with the vehicle. I have had trouble with Hyundai of Yuma, fixing issues with the vehicle. I have had trouble with Hyundai Customer Care in resolving issues. It's not the car, it the service, It's the lack of integrity, lack of knowledge, training and general attentiveness. Hyundai of Palm Springs= I had to pay double for registration because they failed to send the registration in to DMV. After a month of driving, many phone calls, I paid for registration myself at the local DMV. I signed a document stating NOT to install the front license plate bracket; they did anyway. Hyundai of Yuma=No one is trained to diagnose the level 2 charger supplied with the vehicle (ICCB). So, they lie to you about the charger, instead of admitting they have not been trained. The first lie; "It's not a level 2 charger." Lie 2; "It won't charge at 30 amps." UNACCEPTABLE! Hyundai Customer Care= They DON'T. these matters were brought to them (Celeste) after bad service from dealers. They do nothing to intervene! HCC doesn't care dealers employ untrained service technicians, that they ruin the bumper of a car, they make you pay double registration fees. AND, I only have 1500 miles on it! I paid an additional $3080.00 for extended warranty!
