The vehicle popped up a screen that said check power source. Then within 30 seconds went into limp mode said power was limited and couldn't drive faster the. 25mph in the middle of a highway. By the time I pulled over to the side of the road my car was dead. Ive been trying to get Hyundai and the dealership to dignose the issue. Based on the error codes I was given it appears to be a dead iccu and 12v battery.

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.

Subject: Safety Complaint – Sharp Upper Door Edge Causing Facial Injury (Hyundai IONIQ 6, 2023) Message: To whom it may concern, I would like to submit a safety complaint regarding my 2023 Hyundai IONIQ 6 (VIN: [XXX] ). On October 14, 2024, my wife suffered a facial injury caused by an extremely sharp upper edge of the front door. This occurred in our driveway at [XXX] . The injury happened when the front door stopped at its mid-detent position and the sharp, exposed upper edge made forceful contact with her forehead and the area next to her eye. She avoided a direct eye injury only due to quick reflex. This design presents a serious risk to passengers, especially those of shorter stature. I have photographic documentation showing the sharp door edge and the injury mechanism. Hyundai Motor America was informed, but they dismissed the case and advised us simply to “be more careful.” They offered a $150 virtual compensation card, which I did not use, because accepting it could be i
