My car died after 2 months and 1300 miles
I was in Boone, on 3/11/26, away from home when my Ioniq 9 with 1305 miles on it died. I was told it would be towed to Bristol, Tenn. which is an hour west of Boone; I had to insist that it be towed closer to Greensboro where I live. It was towed to Hickory, NC where it is still being worked on. I asked for a loaner car, because my new car left me stranded in Boone, away from home. I was told that Paramount Hyundai wasn't sure they could accommodate me. After many phone calls to Hyundai Emergency service and customer service and more calls to Paramount, I was granted a loaner.
I was told the inverter needed to be replaced which was done last week, but when they drove the car it was making a loud noise so on further inspection it was determined that the motor drive was bad. I do not know how long it takes for a motor drive to damage an inverter, but it does worry me that the new inverter installed might have some damage due to the bad motor drive. It has now been over a week and a half, and I do not have my car back, and I will have to drive an hour and half to Hickory to get it. All in all this has been very disappointing and time consuming.
