2025 Hyundai Ioniq 6 Common Problems by Component
30 owner complaints grouped by vehicle system.
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
15 complaintsSafety-relatedOwners of the 2025 Hyundai Ioniq 6 frequently report failures related to the Integrated Charging Control Unit (ICCU), often resulting in sudden power loss and the inability to drive the vehicle. Common symptoms include a "Check Electric Vehicle System" warning, reduced speed capabilities, and a complete electrical shutdown. These issues typically arise at various mileage points, with some reports as early as 300 miles. One complaint involves a crash due to unintended acceleration, highlighting potential safety risks. Buyers should be aware of ongoing ICCU-related issues, including part availability delays, which can leave vehicles inoperable for extended periods.
UNKNOWN OR OTHER
5 complaintsSafety-relatedOwners of the 2025 Hyundai Ioniq 6 report issues primarily related to the vehicle's app indicating that the car needs service from the first day of ownership, as noted in multiple complaints. Some owners describe problems with the horn not functioning and scratched windshields causing glare when driving into the sun. One complaint involves an odometer discrepancy linked to a crash, highlighting potential safety implications. Complaints also mention challenges in scheduling timely recall repairs, with delays and extended wait times at dealerships. These issues are reported by owners with vehicles as new as a few days from purchase, suggesting early onset of problems.
POWER TRAIN
4 complaintsOwners report that the 2025 Hyundai Ioniq 6 experiences failures related to the Integrated Charging Control Unit (ICCU), often resulting in a sudden loss of motive power. Complaints frequently mention the vehicle entering a 'limp mode' with a maximum speed reduction to approximately 11-25 mph, occurring without prior warning or visible symptoms. These failures have been noted at various mileages, with one specific report at 6,255 miles. Safety implications are significant, as the sudden deceleration in traffic poses a hazard to both the driver and surrounding vehicles.

VISIBILITY/WIPER (2 complaints)
VISIBILITY/WIPER
2 complaintsOwners report two main issues with the 2025 Hyundai Ioniq 6 related to visibility and wipers. One complaint describes the windshield cracking when the defroster is used on a cold morning, suggesting a potential issue with thermal stress. Another owner reports scratches on the windshield, which they attribute to possible debris on the wipers, with the incident occurring within the first five months of ownership. There are no reports of crashes, fires, or loss of control associated with these issues. Buyers should be aware of these early-stage visibility concerns, particularly regarding windshield durability and potential maintenance of wiper components.
FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM (2 complaints)
FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
2 complaintsOwners report issues with the 2025 Hyundai Ioniq 6's fuel/propulsion system, specifically related to the Integrated Charging Control Unit (ICCU). Complaints frequently mention the vehicle entering limp mode with a warning to "check electrical system," restricting speed to 20 mph, and in one case, the vehicle completely losing power and requiring a tow. Another issue described is the battery not charging to full capacity, even after ICCU replacement. These problems suggest potential safety implications, such as loss of vehicle power while driving, but no crashes or fires are reported. Buyers should be aware of these issues, particularly in vehicles that have experienced ICCU failure, as they may indicate recurring problems with charging and propulsion.
WHEELS (1 complaints)
WHEELS
1 complaintMy car was parked and I noticed that there was a bump in the sidewall of my vehicles driver front tire. This is the 2nd time this has happened in a month with factory installed tires that came with the vehicle when purchased brand new. I have had my 2025 Hyundai Ioniq 6 SEL since 12/13/2024. I already submitted an NHSTA safety ticket on 2/3/2025 due to my driver rear tire exploding while driving. Ticket # 11640496. This is extremely dangerous and can kill myself or someone else on the road, especially on highways. There is a defect in these tires that Hyundai had partnered with Pirelli to install on brand new Ioniq 6 SEL vehicles. I am lucky I caught the bump on the side of the tire before it exploded while driving. I have attached the pictures of the tire from this 2nd incident.
TIRES (1 complaints)
TIRES
1 complaintPirelli 245/40 R20 99W The driver rear tire had blown out on me as I was merging onto a highway. I heard a heard a loud pop sound and the car shook and I had to swerve back into my lane. I looked around me and there were no objects or pot holes. My tire emptied down to 7 PSI in about 5-10 seconds. I immediately pulled over to the side of the road. I inspected my tire and there was no damage to the exterior of the tire (nails, screws, debris, etc.), as well there was no scraping of the tire or abrasion. When the repair tech took off the tire to replace it he noticed the steel belt had separated on the tire and had protruded from the inside out and caused the tire to blow. This was extremely scary and dangerous. If there would have been a car to my right my car would have crashed into another car. My car is brand new and I've had it for about 1 1/2 months. It is a 2025 Hyundai Ioniq 6 SEL that was manufactured in 2024. The car has it's original tires from the manufacturer Hyundai. The tire is defective and was not safe to drive. I contacted Hyundai corporate and the dealership about this and they did nothing to reimburse me for the defective tire. I not only am still working for compensation for the tire that was $400 after taxes and fees, but I am trying to alert Hyundai about safety of this model tire.

How We Calculate Reliability Scores
Auto Reliability Index scores are calculated on a 0–100 scale using a weighted formula that combines multiple public data sources. Each factor is weighted based on its predictive value for real-world ownership experience.
Key Ranking Factors
Complaint Severity
NHTSA owner complaints weighted by component category (e.g., powertrain, safety systems, electronics, cosmetic) — safety-critical issues carry more weight than cosmetic ones. Adjusted for sales volume so high-volume models aren't unfairly penalized.
Repair Costs
Independent reliability ratings based on repair frequency, average repair costs, and severity of typical repairs for each model.
Recall Impact
Number of NHTSA recalls weighted by severity. “Stop driving” and fire-risk recalls are penalized more heavily than minor software or labeling recalls.
Issue Diversity
Measures how many major vehicle systems (engine, transmission, electrical, braking, etc.) have recorded complaints. A vehicle with issues spread across many systems may indicate systemic quality issues.
Scores are grouped into four tiers:
- 80–100: Excellent— Top-tier reliability, minimal issues
- 60–79: Good— Reliable with some minor concerns
- 40–59: Mixed— Notable issues, research before buying
- 0–39: Risky— Significant problems, proceed with caution
Data is sourced from NHTSA recall records, owner complaint filings, and independent repair databases. Scores are recalculated as new data becomes available. While the weighting model is proprietary, all underlying data sources are public and traceable.
