Questions to ask the seller
Questions worth asking the seller of this Hyundai before you buy, drawn from its public record:
- NHTSA lists 4 recall campaigns for the 2023 Hyundai Ioniq 5 N. Can you run this car's VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls and confirm each one shows "Remedy Completed"? One is a "park it" / "park outside" order, the most serious kind, so I'd want that repair documented before I drive it.
- Owners of this model report electrical system problems more than anything else (owners tend to report it near 10k miles). Has this car shown any electrical system symptoms, and are there repair records for it?
- Owners of this model report transmission & drivetrain problems more than anything else (owners tend to report it near 20k miles). Has this car shown any transmission & drivetrain symptoms, and are there repair records for it?
