There are 5 owner-reported powertrain & transmission complaints for the 2023 Hyundai Ioniq 6in NHTSA's database. These are unverified consumer reports and may not reflect confirmed defects.
I was pulling into a parking spot and my vehicle suddenly lurch forward, and I had to slam on the brakes quickly, scraping the front of the curb. I checked there was no warning lights. I checked the floor mat, and this was not impeding the accelerator pedal I am certainly I did not accidentally hit the accelerator instead of the brake.
I was driving, there was a loud pop, then warnings popped up on the dash and I lost power. I was able to limp the car back to my house, because I had just left. I assume it is the ICCU. I’m reporting this because it is a known issue that Hyundai has not seemingly been able to repair. With the pedal to the floor, I got up to 25 mph. Luckily, I was near home and not on a highway.
A failure of the ICCU resulted in a maximum speed of about 25 mph and eventually a total loss of power.
ICCU failure, vehicle disabled while driving leaving me stranded.
While driving in the highway I took my foot off the accelerator and despite one pedal driving being on the car did not brake. I then tapped the brake. When I then pushed the accelerator to keep up with traffic, nothing happened. I checked the screen for warning lights. The car had none. The accelerator pedal was non responsive causing a huge safety issue for me and others on the road as the car was now just cruising as I was approaching a hill..I had to turn on my hazards and get over into the shoulder of the highway along the bridge at night. I stopped the car. There were still no warning lights on. I turned the car off and back on and the problem was no longer present.
