2022 Hyundai Ioniq 5 vehicle speed control problems

“This report is an addendum to report 11762283 that was made yesterday. The vehicle allows driving with the rear liftgate ajar, however under some circumstances it engages the EPB when the vehicle comes to a stop while the gear state is still Drive. The gear state of the car remains in Drive when the EPB engages. This presents the driver with the choice, in the middle of the road and possibly in the middle of an intersection, of either exiting the vehicle and rearranging contents of the vehicle to allow the rear liftgate to close, or activating the accelerator to continue driving with the traction motor overpowering clamped EPB. Neither option is safe. I have attempted to reproduce this unsafe state of the vehicle and was successful in one case and unsuccessful in another. My hypothesis for the differentiating factor is the top speed reached prior to decelerating to a stop: in the first case, 13mph, and in the second, 15mph. I have attached a single frame from one of two videos, of the successful case. The instrument display shows gear state is Drive, the car is moving, high torque is being applied by the traction motors (but typically the screen center shows…”

“After coming to a stop at a stop sign, and while the gear state was in Drive, the vehicle auto-applied the electronic parking brake because the tailgate was ajar. Gear state remained in Drive. Upon accelerator input, the parking brake did not release, and the vehicle delivered propulsion torque overcoming the parking brake. As a result, the vehicle accelerated and drove several blocks with the rear brakes fully clamped, which was only effectively indicated by a smell and smoke emitted from the rear wheel wells. An irritating repetitive audio and large flashing visual alert in the display cluster indicating the tailgate state distracted from any additional indications that may have been displayed. That distracting indication was continuously active from when gear state was first switched to Drive and did not correlate with EPB engagement.”

“The ICCU component failed. I lost propulsion while driving and almost got rear ended. The dealership service department confirmed the ICCU issue. The dealership service department has inspected the vehicle. I had a dead 12v a month prior that I had asked the service department to look at and test the ICCU. They did not test the ICCU. The car warned me 30 seconds maybe less before i lost propulsion.”

“I was coasting into a library parking space with my foot off the accelerator. The car accelerated even with my foot on the brake, jumped a curb and was stopped with above ground tree roots. The dashboard should have been lighted up with collision warning indicators and the automatic braking should have engaged. It did none of that. The car was totaled. Nothing was ever checked to see if it was a mechanical error. My insurer totaled the car.”

“Instrument panel on car will not turn on when car is started. Thus, all advanced cruise control and safety systems do not function. Car has not been to the dealership for repair yet. There were no warnings or any other indication that there was an impending problem.”

“While driving on the highway in foggy conditions, the smart cruise control system and forward safety system suddenly shut off while I was going 70 miles an hour. This almost resulted in a car rear ending me due to the sudden deceleration. The following day, with clear weather, the same issue happened again despite nothing appearing to have caused this issue while I was driving. This is a very serious concern to suddenly stop on a highway.”
