The 2022HYUNDAIIONIQ HYBRID carries 35 consumer safety complaints in NHTSA's Office of Defects Investigation database for this specific model-year cohort. Within that volume, owners reported 5 crashes, 0 fires, 3 injuries, and 0 fatalities. For crash performance, NHTSA's New Car Assessment Program gave this cohort an overall Not Rated/5 rating, with Not Rated/5 front crash, Not Rated/5 side crash, and Not Rated/5 rollover scores derived from standardized barrier and dynamic tests.
Component-level analysis is where model-year complaints become actionable: the top complaint category for the 2022 IONIQ HYBRID is service brakes with 11 filings, followed by electrical system (5) and forward collision avoidance: warnings (4). Concentration in one or two component groups is the classic signature of a systemic defect; a flat distribution usually reflects normal aging, warranty complaints, or isolated build-plant variability.
NHTSA currently has 37 investigation files overlapping the 2022 IONIQ HYBRID, and 1 remain open. Owners comparing this cohort against neighboring years should pair the counters above with the complaint-by-year trend on the parent model page — a spike in a single year often tracks to a platform refresh, a new transmission supplier, or an updated ECU calibration.

Auto hold at stops unexpectedly stops working with car in drive, it can suddenly roll forward Electric parking brake becomes inoperative
The Electronic Parking Brake (EPB) on my 2022 Hyundai Ioniq Hybrid has a recurring safety defect. The EPB warning light continues to come on and off intermittently even after EPB components were replaced. Diagnostic Trouble Codes C2416 and C2417 have been detected multiple times. This issue first occurred at around 10,000 miles, while the vehicle was still under factory warranty. At that time, the dealer only performed a cleaning procedure, which did not resolve the problem. Over the years, I returned to the dealer multiple times, but they refused to perform repairs unless the warning light was present during diagnosis. Frequently, the light turned off before inspection, leaving the defect unresolved. At approximately 87,000 miles, the dealer finally replaced EPB components at my expense (out-of-warranty repair). However, even after this replacement, the EPB warning light has continued to reappear, proving that the underlying safety defect was never fixed. This is a serious and ongo
The contact owns a 2022 Hyundai Ioniq Hybrid. The contact stated that while operating the vehicle with the Smart Cruise Control activated, the EPB (Electronic Parking Brake) warning light activated. Additionally, while stopped, the EPB erroneously deactivated, causing the vehicle to drive forward, and the driver had to manually depress the brake pedal to stop the vehicle. The contact stated that the vehicle almost struck a pedestrian during the failure. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer who was unable to determine the cause of the failure. The contact stated that on another occasion, while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle suddenly lost automotive power and was towed to the local dealer who diagnosed that the transmission was faulty and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not yet repaired. The failure mileage was 40,000.

The "Auto Hold and EPB" yellow indicator light constantly turns on, which, according to the owner's manual, suggests a sensor issue. When I press Auto Hold after starting the car, the light comes on immediately. Even if I donât press the Auto Hold button, the light still turns on. Yesterday, after driving approximately 9 miles, the light came on again and began beeping every 7 to 8 minutes while driving.

On December 2nd 2024, I was driving my lovely 2022 Hyundai Ioniq Hybrid to home. All of a sudden, my car started shaking and popped out the engine sign light and other lights on the dashboard. Car moved straight up to about a distance of 50 meters and stopped on the rod side. This incident happened on the residential street not on the Highway. I could have been killed if this incident had happened on the Highway. I feel Iâm lucky and blessed because Iâm alive today. But car is still in Hyundai car dealership under repair. Hopefully my car repair cost will get covered under manufacture warranty. Hopefully, the whole measures for the engine defects or improvements team of Hyundai Ioniq Hybrid manufacturing engineers may be taken relook or recall so that thousands if not millions of drivers driving Hyundai Ioniq Hybrid may be in safe in the near future. Thank you
Electric Parking Break and Auto Hold lights, with system disengage. History of electrical short in codes system. Falls under Hyundai technical service bulletin # 23-BR-001H.

EPB and auto hold lights come on intermittently with no user input or obvious reason. This does not occur every time that the vehicle is driven and does not have an obvious cause nor pattern. When issue appears, it may sometimes but not always be resolved by parking, then restarting the vehicle. After the issue begins, there is an audible beep and an alert/warning flashes for less than a second within the instrument cluster. The audible beep and screen flashing occurs rapidly and repeatedly after appearing. This appears to be the same issue as NHTSA ID 11617668 Per my own research, other owners of this vehicle have had the same issue, as noted in this forum thread: [XXX] Additionally, the solution according to other owners of this vehicle is listed in Hyundai's TSB 23-BR-001H (listed in NHTSA ID 10235346 from April 7 2023 as MC-10235346-0001), which is listed at [XXX] . This TSB's document does include the 2022 Hyundai Ioniq Hybrid, though the NHTSA listing erroneously lists only t

The hold app doesn't work very well. Since first check up in 2022, I mentioned to garage that I have to push on button every time I need to use it as opposed to pressing on it and removing it when desired. However, not the main issue. I get in the car, Auto Hold (which usually appears when I press the button) will suddenly pop on my screen but won't work. The break won't hold, it's just there. It scares me that it has something to do with the breaks themselves in the long run. I've spoken about it twice before and the garage stated that they couldn't see it so couldn't do anything about it. The issue popped on my dashboard one day and I drove straight to the dealership. They said they had no loaner and would call me. This was more than a month ago. I'm tired of trying to get them to address the issue and hoping that I'm not the only one having it.
Forward collision warning light appears on, when there is no noticeable event immediately. "Glitch-like" flash across the dashboard appears. Vehicle continues to display wheel misalignment after two alignment procedures, values indicate possible safety concern.

The EPB light appeared on the dash panel of the car on 7/13/2023, along with the EPB light, the cruise control, the auto hold function, and the electric parking brake stopped functioning. The light will disappear on a restart and reappear after a period of time. It is indeterministic when the light will reappear on the dashboard. I have tried to contact the nearest dealer in an attempt to get the car inspected for safety reasons, however, the dealer was unavailable and Hyundai national customer service was unable to help. Hyundai's national customer service representative was also being deceptive as they transferred me to a dealer that is 425 miles away from the location I told them while giving me the impression that they were transferring me to a local dealer. The car was eventually inspected by two different Hyundai dealers. The first dealer informed me that there was a short on the wire which caused the error. However, due to the fact I was moving at the time, I could not wait

Shortly after purchasing my Ioniq (roughly 2 months into ownership) my dashboard started beeping with warning signs for my EPB and auto-hold brake. I panicked and parked my car and tried to turn off the functions because I thought I had accidentally turned them on but they wouldnât turn off. This would continue at random for roughly 7 more months until it would stay on for weeks at a time. I was told there was nothing the dealership could do about it and was asked about my oil changes. I get my oil changes within the intervals set for the vehicle and it does not seem to affect if the lights come on or off. They beep constantly and also the EPB and Auto-hold features do not work when the light comes on, the fail. Itâs a safety risk as when I do try to engage them they donât work and makes me fearful that they will short and work at random times which is a huge concern.
