Also, I’ve been down the lemon law route, but I got a lawyer thinking that was smart (it was not) and a buyback means I’m out even more money. So I’m hoping to get my car fixed (although this seems more and more unlikely).

 

From personal experience, you have to really lean on Hyundai cooperate and cause a stink. Especially if your dealer does not provide loaners.

 

I assume you mean the HV battery (not 12V)?

If you use search, I think you will find a couple threads on this topic.

 

Yes, it’s the HV battery, not the 12V.

 

Just some datapoints for op and others in the same situation. I brought mine in knowing I had issues with cell 132 as it was reading around 0.12v deviation and every other cell were all within a couple mv. Brand new I5N that sat in the dealership showroom for about 10 months before I picked it up. Driven 1300km before HV issue. I'm in Quebec, Canada.

8/22 bought the car
9/1 check electric vehicle system (P1AD300)
9/11 dealership appointment
10/1 HyTAC/dealership acknowledge dead cell and needs a new module and BMU.
10/7 dealership called back saying a whole BSA had been ordered and picked up from the port by the transport company and should be at the dealership next week.

 

Wow! That's a quick turnaround on getting a battery. I keep hoping for a date, but I doubt that my car will even be fixed this year at this point.

Did they not keep it on a charger? Or was just a random defect

Fortunately, my dealer does provide a loaner (it's just not as nice as a car as what I bought, and I'm on my 3rd one, and finally got an Ioniq 6 instead of a gas car). I entered a case with Hyundai corporate, but basically that got punted to legal once I hired a lawyer and now they won't talk to me (I've tried calling multiple times to get information or anything and just get referred to legal, which is a PO box).

Oh yeah they won't talk because of that, I didn't go that route, but Hyundai did fairly compensate me, it's the only reason I kept the car.

I wish I wouldn’t have gotten a lawyer. It’s made this whole process take longer (I kept hounding the lawyer to follow up with Hyundai and once they did, I finally got an offer) and Hyundai did offer a buyback, but Hyundai didn’t cover all the lawyer fees (so I would have been out $3k). It’s just still going through the legal process (waiting on the settlement check) so corporate won’t talk to me.

 

The car isn’t being charged, and the issue I had is that it wouldn’t charge once I got that battery warning light. I know the dealer has attempted to charge it, but it’s been hit or miss whether it actually does.

 

I took my 2023 Ioniq 5 in for a full battery replacement on August 1st and am still waiting. They say there is no ETA for the battery's arrival.

 

The dealership told me that they’ve seen replacement batteries take up to 10 months to come in. I’m not feeling confident my car will be fixed any time soon and probably not this year.

 

This is as far as mine will go after being at the dealer for a month. It was at 21% this morning I noticed it was charging and then an hour later this.

I can verify from the surround cams that it is still plugged in 🤣

RIP BSA

 

Do you know what kind of charger it’s plugged into? I’m guessing a level 2 or 3 charger. Hopefully your car gets its replacement battery soon!

 

It's a level 2
