[alarmguy]

Im not so sure Hyundai is sure of the solution. Hopefully they get it right sooner rather than later.

I hate it when that happens!

30 complaints out of 39,500 vehicles on the roads.

Any problem with an EV is amplified by some folks.

Normally I might think the same thing but I seem to remember it being a big deal with ICE vehicles. I mean you make a left turn passing traffic coming at you and your vehicle stops unexpectedly its a problem, sometimes people died. A car dying anyplace is a problem.

We only so far know of reported issues in a brand new vehicle. Obviously it needs to be fixed and I dont see anything in the story that is negative against Hyundai. Its about reporting the issue.
Is there something wrong with that? I dont think so, it needs to be addressed the same as any vehicle would need to address it.
This goes with any brand vehicle with a known issue.

So yeah, even if it was only 30 out of 39000. At what point did it start happening? Do the cars have to be be closer to a year old when half that amount was on the road?

In perspective, many decades ago before many of you were born was the Ford Pinto that erupted in flames during rear end collisions.
Yet over 3 million of them were made and only 27 actually caught fire the car was shelved eventually.

Countless other recent recalls and same media attention as Hyundai is getting now. Do people think because the Hyundai is an EV it should get a free pass from a news story reporting an issue? I dont think so or do we just wait until people die in a broken down brand new vehicle? Typically unexpected stalling in a ICE vehicle was always a serious issue and being its an EV it doesnt give a free pass.

I remember the old carburetor slant sixes stalling while making left hand turns. It wasn’t on the news that I remember but a friend owned one with that malady. His mechanic told him that it was a common issue.

Unfortunately todays news is full of bots that come up with these stories and embellish them to generate clicks. The internet amplification is a strong force.

 

[JeffKeryk]

Well, 30 reported so far. Maybe a bad batch? Maybe the start of something worse? Maybe nothing? Who the heck knows? Probably not bad gas, of I had to guess.

Embellish?
It's factual news, do we need to be protected from real news? Do we forget now a days what is real?

"Preliminary investigations initiated by a division within NHTSA indicate that there is a problem with charging."
This is the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration looking into the issue.

Despite how different EVs are from ICE vehicles, I still don’t entirely trust HyunKias and despite their great reviews my next vehicle (definitely going to be an EV) will not be a HyunKia… this article is just one of a million reasons why.

Ford, GM, Volvo, Tesla might not be perfect but I think buying one of those will at least give me a reasonable chance of getting where I’m going!

Okay. Total News should then link to the NHTSA so readers can verify the problem.

I did just that on my own. Funny, I don’t see this issue on the NHTSA site for the 2022 Ioniq.

For a second I saw your point because it wasn’t in the link you supplied but the news story is true and here it is from NHTSA.
It’s been all over the media, not just total news, and even Hyundai acknowledges the problem.

We agree on a lot of things, and of course, sometimes we won’t and I for one big skeptic of the media, but in this case, the article specifically mentions both parties. As far as how the federal government works with reporting this stuff and how it is found well that’s the same as trying to figure out the budget deficit.

Another possible explanation maybe Hyundai acknowledged the problem right away and labeled the cause so maybe ended up in another section of the federal bureaucracy. I have no idea and I’m not gonna try to figure out the federal government and it’s reporting mechanisms.

I have to say I am a little bit reluctant to place all my confidence in an organisation that can't identify fundamental parts of this type of car. HV should be High Voltage (ie traction battery).

I'm a little confused--this is a pure electric vehicle, right? If so... how does it stall out?

It's almost like they want to keep their reputation for making bad engines alive, ICE or otherwise.
