Ioniq5 is a fun car with some unforgivable problems
Loved my car for about 1.5 years. Super responsive, fun to drive, fit my stature well, clear views all around and felt safe to drive. At about 1.5 yrs, the problems started: my car started violently shaking when driving it at specific speeds, especially on the highway. Dealership was unresponsive, claimed the vibration was minor when they drove it, and then voluntarily referenced "loose dampening foam" but said that "couldn't be the problem or the shaking would be much worse." Took it back 3 times for this same issue, with recordings of the extremely dangerous shaking which the dealership took ZERO responsibility for even though this is clearly a defect. Finally had an independent mechanic take the tires off and the loose foam essentially "fell out" of every single tire. End of problem after MONTHS of driving a very scary, hard-to-control car. Meanwhile, the 12v battery experienced a complete failure leaving it unable to drive. Dealership help again was underwhelming - never told me there'd been a recall, told me the part was out of stock, never offered me a loaner car during a 2 week time period on my lease where I had no vehicle. In addition, this car has had constant trunk rattling, and odd electrical issues where the car turns on but won't go into gear, then won't turn off again. This issue is usually short lived and goes away on its own. But for a car now only around 2+ years old to have numerous issues making it un-drivable and/or dangerous to drive while Hyundai took very little to zero responsibility to provide help is actually unacceptable. Which is a shame, because I really loved driving it at first and was happy to tell everyone how much I liked it. I can no longer recommend this car or Hyundai to anyone.
