Should You Buy the 2025 Hyundai Ioniq 6?
Reliability is good for this model year. It lands close to average among 2025 sedans and ranks among the stronger of the four scored Ioniq 6 years. The 2024 rates about the same, with 33 complaints and 5 recalls. The 2026 rates better, but it has no complaints or recalls on file, which mostly reflects how little time it has had on the road. Federal crash testing gave 5 of 5 stars.
One problem dominates. Owners describe a pop, then a "Check Electric Vehicle System" warning, then a crawl or a full shutdown, sometimes on a freeway. Dealers usually diagnose a failed ICCU, often with a blown fuse. Failures start early, from about 6,255 to 14,794 miles. Replacement parts are often backordered, so cars can sit for weeks. Federal records list 3 recalls, covering seat belts and the electrical system.
Ask for the recall history and any ICCU repair records. One owner reported the high-voltage battery would not fully charge after the replacement.
Compared to the 2026 Hyundai Ioniq 6, which scored 3 points higher. See also the 2024 Hyundai Ioniq 6 for an earlier comparison.

2025 Hyundai Ioniq 6 Common Problems by Component
30 owner complaints grouped by vehicle system.
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
15 complaintsSafety-relatedSudden loss of power is the dominant problem. Drivers often hear a pop, then get a "Check Electric Vehicle System" warning. Speed drops to a crawl or the car shuts down completely, sometimes on freeways or at night in winter weather. The 12-volt battery stops charging. Dealers usually diagnose a failed ICCU (Integrated Charging Control Unit), often with a blown fuse. Replacement parts are frequently backordered, so cars sit at dealers for weeks. Failures show up early, around 10k to 14,794 miles. One crash report describes the car surging forward at low speed in a driveway.
UNKNOWN OR OTHER
5 complaintsSafety-relatedThese reports cover a mix of unrelated problems. The Bluelink app shows a vehicle-health service alert that has been there since delivery, and the dealer has not cleared it. A horn stops working. A windshield is badly scratched. One owner describes a weeks-long wait for a recall repair appointment and no loaner or ride offered. The one crash-related filing is an odometer and title dispute after an accident. It does not describe a mechanical failure.
POWER TRAIN
4 complaintsThe ICCU and the high-voltage fuse fail without warning, and the car goes straight into limp mode. Top speed falls to somewhere between 11 and 25 mph while traffic around it is moving fast. In at least one case every system except the blinkers quits, leaving the car stuck in the road in freezing weather. Dealers fix it under warranty by fitting the same part again, and replacement units can be backordered. One failure came at 6,255 miles.
VISIBILITY/WIPER (2 complaints)
VISIBILITY/WIPER
2 complaintsThe windshield cracks when the defroster runs on a cold morning. A separate report describes a windshield scratched by the wipers on a car only months old, which causes glare when driving into the sun. The manufacturer suggested debris on the wipers was to blame and did not accept responsibility. Neither report involves a crash or a loss of control.
FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM (2 complaints)
FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
2 complaintsA "check electrical system" warning comes on and the car goes into limp mode, capped at 20 mph. A few miles later it loses all power and has to be towed. The dealer reads code DTC P1A9096, which points to ICCU failure. A separate report says the high-voltage battery still will not charge to full capacity after the ICCU was replaced.
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.
