2017 HYUNDAI IONIQ HYBRID Engine Problems

Engine failure occurred on interstate. Car was jerking and smoke coming from the hood and exhaust while engine was giving out. Hyundai dealership confirmed something blew up within the engine and blew a hole out the side of it. Check engine light came on about 2 weeks prior notified Hyundai dealership as soon as this happened and they stated I had to wait 2 weeks to have the vehicle checked out.

THE 12V ION BATTERY SYSTEM PART NUMBER 37507-G2120 (ICCU) BATTERY FAILED WHILE DRIVING, CAUSING GAS ENGINE TO TURN OFF, WHICH CANCELS POWER BRAKING AND STEERING, MAKING VEHICLE IMPOSSIBLE TO CONTROL. READ MANY REPORTS ON REDDIT AND IONIQ FORUMS OF THIS HAPPENING. NO. IT IS UNOPERABLE THERE WAS NO WARNING WHAT SO EVER. NO LIGHT, NO SYMBOL, NOTHING. WAS TRAVELING 40 MPH ON A BUSY ROAD WITH FAMILY, DURING A LANE CHANGE THIS HAPPEND AND THE VEHICLE TURNED OFF COMPLETELY. I COULD NOT CONTROL VEHICLE, AND WENT INTO A DITCH. IN THE PROCESS WE WERE NEARLY SIDE SWIPED BY A LARGE PICK UP TRUCK WHOM ALSO WENT IN DITCH. THE 12V BATTERY WAS DEAD COMPLETELY, WOULD NOT START THE GAS ENGINE. JUST WAS DEAD. IM LUCKY TO BE HERE TELLING OUR EXPERIENCE.

I have had issues with the car losing speed and start to flutter. The last time it did this it locked up my steering wheel and engine cut off this has been an ongoing issue with this car only had it less than a year and the dealership cannot remedy the issue there is some kind of electrical issue because all lights come on car has less than 50k moles on it this is my 5 visit to the dealership with no resolution have contacted the manufacturer

Unable for many time to get recall complete old recall was told not complete and now that i have an issue they are telling me it was done trans clutch . My car has been at the dealer for three months . It is at lafontaine hyuandi dearborn mi. The part i need to fix my engine /clutch has an indefinite date when it will be available. I had this same problem when my car was less than a year old with the drive shaft. I have been in contact with corporate Hyundai and the dealer we cannot get a hold of sometimes for a whole week. These engine problems have been a huge issue with Hyundai. The engine will suddenly slow down to 20s being a hazard risk. Dealers when i have tried to get recall wont do recall they say they only have one person who can do it. I have had recalls scheduled months out and then they cancel. The problem i am having directly relates to a closed recall per multiple mechanics. The recall caused oil to leak which is what dealer said happened . Please help!!

I was driving on the freeway when my car started smoking. Pulled over immediately and 30 seconds later the entire front of the car was engulfed in flames. I hadn’t received a second recall notice, but I did take it in the first time when a fire risk was mentioned.

TAKARA RECALL - MY CAR WAS SHUT OFF AND PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY. ABOUT AN HOUR LATER, (MY CAR WAS STILL OFF), AS I WENT OUTSIDE TO TALK TO MY FAMILY OUTSIDE WHICH WE HAPPENED TO BE ONLY ABOUT 15 FEET OF WHERE MY CAR WAS PARKED AND STILL THE ENGINE WAS OFF! THE NEXT THING TO MY SURPRISE AND DISMAY, MY CAR ENGINE STARTED UP ALL BY ITS SELF!!!??? I HAVE 2 FAMILY WITNESS VERIFYING MY ENGINE WAS IN FACT RUNNING AND THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO WAY I HAD ANYTHING TO DO WITH IT! I AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THIS HAPPENING AGAIN ESPECIALLY IF IT DID IT ONCE AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED IF I WAS NOT AROUND MY FOR 2 - UNKNOWN LONG HOURS! IT IS VERY UNSETTLING TO KNOW MY ENGINE STARS ON IT'S OWN AND WILL IT GO INTO REVERSE OR FORWARD AND KILL SOMEONE!!?? PLEASE GET BACK TO ME ASAP.
