This is very dangerous and I have experienced this loss of braking force multiple times when stopping in the rain and a tire is on a slippery manhole cover or crosswalk line. Braking force is reduced signifi https://plaincars.com/make/hyundai-ioniq-electric https://plaincars.com/make/hyundai-ioniq-electric#complaint-1768242 Tue, 14 Sep 2021 00:00:00 GMT The regenerative brake system failed to operate as it normally does, and no indicator lights came on on the dashboard. This unexpected loss of braking force nearly caused me to hit the car in front of me. I had recently disengaged cruise control and was approaching a red light. I pressed my foot on the brake pedal and felt no response from the car. I lifted my foot and pressed again two or three https://plaincars.com/make/hyundai-ioniq-electric https://plaincars.com/make/hyundai-ioniq-electric#complaint-1767580 Fri, 10 Sep 2021 00:00:00 GMT This issue is easily repeatable, when braking if you hit a bump (pot hole, etc.) the braking power is greatly reduced & the brake pedal becomes almost impossible to push down to stop the car, making it very hard to stop even when not coming to an abrupt stop. https://plaincars.com/make/hyundai-ioniq-electric https://plaincars.com/make/hyundai-ioniq-electric#complaint-1753344 Mon, 21 Jun 2021 00:00:00 GMT The traction battery on my Ioniq 2020 went bad after 3 months. The diagnostic panel warned me of an electric issue and the range dropped drastically. The dealer changed the battery no questions asked. My vin wasn't part of the recall. I wonder if the recall should have included a broader range of vehicles. https://plaincars.com/make/hyundai-ioniq-electric https://plaincars.com/make/hyundai-ioniq-electric#recall-21V127000-hyundai-hyundai-ioniq-electric-2020 Mon, 01 Mar 2021 00:00:00 GMT Hyundai Motor America (Hyundai) is recalling certain 2019-2020 Kona Electric and 2020 Ioniq Electric vehicles.
