When a car is in the process of passing me on the left during a left hand curve on the highway at highway speeds, the rear left radar sensor seems to have set off a forward collision warning. This caused the ioniq5 to do an emergency collision brake. I had to press on the accelerator to cancel the emergency brake while the other car passed me on the left. There were no cars in front of me that would have triggered a frontal collision emergency brake.

The forward collision system will intermittently erroneously detect objects in front of the vehicle while stopped or in motion. While driving on the freeway, this will cause the car to engage the emergency braking system endangering those in and around the car. While stop to the stoplight, this causes the front detection alarm to go off. The dealership has reproduced the error and tried software updates and replacing sensors, but the problem persists.

While backing into my driveway if a car passes in front on the street my car will not continue backing up. This also happens in parking lots. While backing out of my driveway onto the street and staying in the lane closest to the driveway, traffic in the far lane will cause the car to stop moving even though the street is more than wide enough to accommodate both cars without crossing the double yellow lines. As I live on a busy street this can cause an accident. In both cases turning off the parkin sensors with the dashboard button has no effect.

My wife was parking the 2024 ioniq and it lurched forward at a high rate of speed and slammed into another car parked in our driveway and drove that vehicle through our home garage door. She feels certain that her foot was on the brake, but even if she accidentally slipped and appleid the brake the forward collision system should have prevented the accident additionally the impact occurred with such force it is unlikely due to human error as it pushed our very heavy 4Runner back 3 feet and thorough a closed garage door.

Backing vehicle out of driveway and went to engage brakes and they did not engage. began rolling backwards down street with steep grade. Kept stepping on brakes with no response. Had to turn into a parked vehicle to keep from rolling down steep grade and potentially off a substantial cliff. Happened today and dealership said that it may be because the "battery for the brake" had not received a charge from the main battery. Very dangerous and never disclosed. If I had not taken evasive action I could have easily been killed. Car is being dropped off at collision center today but is available for inspection. There were no warnings or other symptoms.

How to use these: a complaint is one owner’s report, filed voluntarily and published unverified. Patterns matter more than any single story. If several owners describe the same failure at similar mileage, put that system at the top of your pre-purchase inspection list. Back to the full 2024 Hyundai Ioniq 5 Bev verdict →
