The contact owns a 2020 Hyundai Ioniq Hybrid. The contact stated that while idle, releasing the brake and pressing the accelerator, the vehicle would jolt forward before accelerating. The failure would occur intermittently and had become progressively more pronounced. There were no warning lights illuminated. During the most recent occasion, the vehicle jolted forward so aggressively that it caused the contact to have whiplash.
On June 10, 2021, when driving from Topeka, KS to Park Ridge, IL, there was a failure in both the Adaptive Cruse Control System as well as the Lane Keeping Assistance System. The ACC system started the car moving forward from a complete stop without my intent and the LKA turned the car to the right striking a semi trailer that was completely stopped. Additionally there was no warning from the Forward Collision Warning system
The contact owns a 2020 Hyundai Ioniq. The contact stated that while driving 70 MPH with the adaptive cruise control and lane keep assist features activated, the check engine warning light suddenly illuminated and the steering wheel seized causing the driver to lose control of the steering and the vehicle crashed into a concrete barrier. After restarting the vehicle, the check engine warning light was no longer illuminated and the vehicle operated as normal.
On 3/27/2020 I purchased a hyundai ioniq 2020 which advertised on the window sticker vehicle includes advanced safety features bind spot collision avoidance assist and rear cross traffic collision avoidance assist. Unfortunately, the manufacturer notified me on 8/24/2020 that the vehicle was not manufactured as advertised. The features can't be added after the manufacturing process.
