WASHINGTON, D.C. – The National Highway Transportation Safety Administration (NHTSA) has opened an investigation into automaker Hyundai regarding a serious issue with the company\u2019s 2022 Ioniq 5 electric vehicle (EV) where customers have complained about a sudden \u2013 and in many instances, total \u2013\u00a0loss of power<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The agency has received a total of 30 consumer complaints stating that drivers had heard a loud pop, followed by a warning error popping up on their dashboard display screen and an immediate loss of power. In some instances, the power loss was partial, but in many of the occurrences the vehicle instantly and completely lost all power.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

NHTSA is currently looking into all 39,559 Ioniq 5 EVs that were sold from the model\u2019s 2022 year. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The complaints from motorists are being taken very seriously by NHTSA due to the fact that the issue happens without any warning and the effects are instantly felt. This can lead to potentially very dangerous safety issues when the problem occurs when driving on the freeway, which is when many people reported the malfunction taking place.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I was driving my Hyundai Ioniq 5 SEL northbound on CA Highway 135 when I heard a loud pop coming from my car. Within a few seconds my car lost speed rapidly, from 55 mph to 25 then a second later 22 mph. A message appeared on the right side of the dash board in an orange circle \u2018check vehicle system\u2019 with a small upside-down triangle with letters EV also inside this circle and a \u2018small orange battery\u2019 picture showed on the left. I drove the car onto the shoulder of the road with my hazard lights blinking. Immediately upon entering the parking lot, my car stopped dead, before I had a chance to pull into a parking space.\u201d \u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
