The 2024 Hyundai Ioniq 6 Long range RWD (18-inch wheels) puts down 225 hp, 361 miles of EPA range and a 74 kWh battery, and a worth-pursuing score, but only after a hard inspection and a fair price.
Score read
A 75/100 makes this worth inspecting. Software and driver-assist score is 88/100, but owner feedback score is only 62/100. On Reddit, owners keep flagging the same two issues: software tech and owner satisfaction. Treat missing repair records as a price problem, not a footnote.
Is it a good deal?
Used examples are running around $22,834 against a $42,450 original sticker, about 54% of new. A reasonable spot for the score, but condition matters more than the headline number; verify recall completion, battery health, and service history.
Who this is for
✓ Good for
- ⏱ Daily commuter ≤50 mi/day, predictable charging
- ↦ Road tripper Long trips, needs DC fast network
✗ Avoid if you are a
No persona-level disqualifiers — fits broadly.
Gotchas
- Serviceable Recall paperwork has to match the exact VIN.
Mitigation Use NHTSA and the automaker lookup, then require repair records instead of a verbal promise.
- Verify Owner feedback is the part to read carefully (62/100).
Mitigation Read the complaint themes and ask whether this VIN has already had those issues repaired.
Pre-purchase inspection
- 1 Run the exact VIN through NHTSA and the automaker recall lookup before discussing price.
- 2 Compare the dashboard range estimate with the EPA 361-mile rating after a full charge.
- 3 Confirm how much of the 10-year/100,000-mile battery warranty remains and whether it transfers.
- 4 If road trips matter, run a short DC fast-charge session and watch whether speed tapers normally.
- 5 Read the complaint themes, not just the count, and ask the seller whether those issues have shown up on this VIN.
VIN status first This model has 5 NHTSA recall records. The exact VIN lookup decides whether the car in front of you is clear.

Source & disclaimer
Dealers make ~$7,529 on the average car loan.
After the price is set, the finance manager runs four plays to rebuild margin. Every buyer without a pre-approval is a target. Here's exactly what they run — and what stops each one.
78% of dealer loans carry a hidden +1.13% markup above what the lender actually charges. You never see it — it's buried in the contract. · CFPB
Dealer must match or beat your lender — they can't add margin invisibly. The markup play is dead on arrival.
Once you answer, they stretch the term to hit your number. Median result: $4K less off the price, 12 more months on the loan. · Industry avg
Financing is done. Only the sale price is on the table — and the dealer knows it.
Back-office F&I profit averages $1,975/vehicle, up 8.5% YoY. These products exist — but dealer markup is 4–10x what you'd pay elsewhere. · Dealership Guy
Dealer GAP runs $500–1K. Your insurer sells the same coverage for $100–250 over 5 years. Now you know.
"Your loan fell through — come re-sign." This pulls your APR up +5% on average. It's legal. It works because you've already driven the car home. · Ctr for Responsible Lending
A lender commitment letter means the deal is final. "Pending dealer approval" doesn't apply. You can't be yo-yo'd.
That's 23 months of your car payment — handed to the dealer's finance department for nothing.
Takes 2 minutes. No obligation to use it — but you'll walk in with all the leverage.
Pre-approval is a soft credit inquiry — no score impact. FICO treats all auto-loan hard pulls within 14 days as one, so you can still shop rates at the dealer.

I was parking my car a Hyundai Ioniq 6, in an easy parking space when I briefly removed my foot, which was lightly depressed on the gas pedal to hit the brake pedal, the car suddenly accelerated jumped the curb hit another car and hit a tree. The airbag did not deploy I am uninjured. The other car was parked, but was damaged. My car was damaged. It all happened in about two or three seconds and my foot was no longer on the gas pedal. Moreover, the automated systems for parking collision warning, and for automatic stopping did not work. This is what came up when I googled it. Reports suggest some Hyundai Ioniq models, including potential Ioniq 6 instances, may exhibit unexpected, brief acceleration following a software update meant to address a separate braking recall. This issue is often linked to the "N-shift" mode, where the car may accelerate for 2-3 seconds after the driver lifts their foot. I had that software update

Vehicle steering wheel was off-center and the vehicle wandered whenever the road changed camber or had rough sections. The vehicle was purchased used from Carvana,. I took it in for 4-wheel alignment and the tech reported that "All adjustment hardware at rear were pretty loose", and stated that it probably left the factory this way as he saw no evidence of prior adjustments. The left rear tire is badly worn on the outside and he recommended immediate replacement, which is awaiting warranty claim processing. Possible safety issues: Rear tire blowout, rear suspension alignment failure with loss of control.

As I was driving home from work, a loud POP went off under my car, and sirens began to go off. I was given a critical error, and told to immediately contact a dealership. My car began to slow, and would only go 25 mph. Luckily for me I was within a few miles of a dealership, but if I wasn't so fortunate this would have been a much larger issue. The ICCU has failed, despite already getting Hyundai's recall for this issue performed. I am now without my car for an unknown quantity of time.

Today, I had a scary situation on my 2024 Hyundai Ioniq 6 limited. While backing out of a parking space, I put my foot on the brake to place the car in drive and the car kept rolling back no matter what I did and almost crash into the car park across. I was able to finally stop the car by placing it into park repeatedly. I was inches from striking the car across when it finally came to a stop. I then attempted to place it in drive again and no dice. I had to turn the car off and back on to get it to respond and place it back to drive. Anyone else experience this helpless feeling? Quite scary. This vehicle has had the various ICCU updates performed.

To date, our experience driving the 2024 Hyundai Ioniq 6 has been a total "NIGHTMARE." We've had 2 "TERRIFYING ACCIDENTS" within the first 6 months of leasing this vehicle, Both caused by "Unintended Acceleration Issues," the car "randomly" accelerates, on it's own! 1st ACCIDENT (4/25/2024) - As my wife pulls into our driveway, the car suddenly accelerates (un-commanded) and smashes in the garage, the damage was over $8,000 dollars, (we paid out of pocket)... Thank God, she was not HURT! State Farm Insurance paid over $20K to repair the car, we paid $500 deductible. It took over 10 weeks to complete all repairs. After we got the car back, my wife was "very apprehensive" to drive for two weeks, finally, able to summon enough courage, she got back behind the wheel and then came the 2nd ACCIDENT( 8/25/24) - While pulling into a Jamba Juice parking spot, the car did it "AGAIN," (unintended acceleration), Jumping the curb, plowing into greenery, shrubs and block wall. Again, 'EXTREMELY" fortunate no one was hurt of "KILLED!" The car was towed to SLO Hyundai Dealership, then back to Kaisen Collision Center, for 2nd time, all within 6 weeks! The repair completion date, is estimated for 9/13/24 with approximate cost at $13K dollars, to date. "REGARDLESS" of all that, we feel blessed to be "WALKING AWAY," from the vehicle, (literally & figuratively)! We are "DONE"... the car is a total "DEATH TRAP." Immediately following ACCIDENT #2, we called SLO Dealership to report (2nd accident), stating, we are "FINISHED" with the car & "REFUSE" to drive it again! SLO Dealership was apologetic and stated they could "VOID OUT" Lease Agreement, "ONLY" if we paid dealership, roughly $8K dollars (Citing: "Car Depreciation," after "YOUR" Two Accidents - CarFax report). Now, this where the rubber meets the road, we vehemently refrut dealerships allocation, we take total culpability, paying them an extra $8K to return this (heavily documented), "FLAWED" vehicle.

I was driving on the highway, 65mph when I had a sudden loss of power, check electrical system warning and a battery picture came on. I was reduced to approx 10mph suddenly in rush hour traffic, in the left lane, with no shoulder to pull over to. I was able, with the kindness of other drivers slowing down, able to move to the right lane, then to the shoulder. Called AAA for tow to dealership. 12v battery and ICCU damage.

ICCU failed. The car suddenly decelerated from 40mph to 25mph or less with no warning. The ICCU is confirmed to be an issue for Hyundai. I had the software update to fix the problem in 2025. It is currently at the dealership in Fort Mill, SC. DTC error code shows it as an ICCU failure. Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? There were no warning lamps to until the failure occurred.

After several days of below freezing temps, started car after work and received "check electrical systems" warning. Couldn't drive above 15-25 mph. Eventually led to total shutdown, could not start, lock/unlock doors, etc. Had to tow to dealer which they eventually deemed the ICCU to be at fault. 12v battery was dead and new battery they put in to test died it sounds like as well. Or they "recreated the problem" was their words after trying to claim it was only a bad 12v battery.

Driving 65 on the highway, the ICCU popped and died and the car immediately went into slow mode and decreased to 20mph in traffic in the snow. It displayed a message to pull over immediately and check the power system.

The morning after a successful level 2 charge (from 35% to 80%), the ICCU fuse blew, resulting in no power to the car. I had to have it towed to have it fixed (both the fuse and ICCU were replaced under warranty). The car had 20,013 miles when the fuse blew and I had both safety recalls (software updates) addressed when they came out. I thought the updates were to prevent this from happening. Fortunately I was in my garage and not on the road; however, just the evening before, I was on I-95 for over an hour and glad it did not occur then. So now I'm fearful that it could happen again when far from home.

When driving recently, the car suddenly began showing a warning message “check electrical system” and would not go beyond 25mph. I was on the way home but still far, and had to turn on my hazard lights to alert other drivers. Eventually the car escalated the warning to “pull the vehicle over” and implied that the main battery was having an issue. I had to have th car towed to a dealer (closest is 10 miles) who eventually diagnosed the issue as a blown ICCU. My understanding is this is a critical component to the charging infrastructure and must be fully operational for the car to safely drive. Hyundai repaired the part and I had the car back in a few days, but I could get no assurances on what happened or whether or not it would occur again. The car has 14,000 Miles in the Washington DC area. It seems incredibly unsafe that this component could blow at any time. I also understand there are many other owners with this exact issue.

I had the ICCU unit recall taken care of on my car. While driving yesterday evening, I had a complete power failure. There were warning lights on the dashboard so I slowed down until it finally totally stopped. The warning lights said check electrical system and a yellow turtle light came on. While waiting for the tow truck all electric stopped including the flashers. It was dark, during rush hour and 10 degrees outside. I was left stranded, blocking traffic and with no heat. People were honking their horns and fighting to get around me. The street became one lane. It was very dangerous for me, I was a sitting duck. It also became dangerous for pedestrians trying to walk while cars squeezed around my car. Again, all of this happened in the dark in 10 degree weather. I waited all day to get a diagnosis from the dealer but they were too busy. I was not given a loaner car and have been stranded at home and lost a day of work. I had to have my car towed home last night and waited for a tow again to take it to the dealership. I may lose another day of work tomorrow.

ICCU failure. 5 minutes into my drive to work, the car slowed down, dashboard said electric failure and then died. It had to be towed to the dealership where it took a week to get ICCU replaced. Apparently a lot of Ioniq owners are having this problem. No warning signs, the car just dies. Car has 26,000 miles.

Two years into my lease. I used my turn signal as normal, heard a loud CRACK as I pushed it down to signal a left turn, and the turn signal started to sag inside of its compartment behind the steering wheel. I did not use more pressure than normal, and I have never had this issue with another car before. The turn signal BROKE with normal use. This is not covered by warranty and I was quoted $1400 repair by the dealership.

The ICCU failed on my vehicle after 25,000 miles on a 2024 model year car. Driving on a cold and wet night, after pulling away from a stop sign, we heard a large POP and then dashboard lights indicating an electrical system problem. Apparently the sound was a fuse blowing, and then the car went into limp mode. We were able to drive at approximately 24 mph for about 5 minutes before the car told us to stop immediately. We had to get the car towed to a dealership the next day, after getting it towed to our house first. If this had happened on a freeway it would have been a very dangerous situation. We were told it was a just a "bad part". But there had been a previous recall for software update, and this part still blew up. There is nothing we are told that can be done and some of the units are just bad. Hyundai should find the ROOT CAUSE of this issue, and fix it!

The power system failure warning came on as I was driving up on an intersection. WhenI released the accelerator because I was in i-pedal mode (one pedal driving), the cars braking system did not activate. Consequently, I ran the red light. The car power was reduced, and I was able to pull into the parking lot of a strip mall as a police vehicle pulled behind me. After explaining our situation and receiving my traffic ticket, the officer asked me to move the car out of the driveway, but I was unable to shift the car into drive given the power warnings that were flashing on the display. The officer asked if I needed a tow and I let him know I would use the brand’s Roadside Assistance for my vehicle. I turned the car off and the officer left. I waited about 10 minutes and I tried turning on the car again and was able to shift into drive and get out of the driveway and into a parking space. However, the car operated in low power mode and could only travel about 3 miles an hour. The tow truck driver had to jump the 12 V battery which was completely depleted in order to turn on the vehicle to move it. At Hyundai Service center, the car turned off abruptly as he was trying to move it into a parking spot. Despite supposedly having been addressed in a recall, the failure of the vehicle’s power system due to the ICCU put me in my family at risk while actively driving on a road with traffic.

The horns quit working. I'm on two weeks now waiting for the dealer to get the parts in to fix it. According to what I saw online, this is an ongoing issue.

I own a 2024 Hyundai Ioniq 6 that experienced a complete 12V battery failure at under 500 miles of use, despite showing normal voltage levels (12.5V off, 13.25V while attempting a jump). The vehicle was undrivable and could not start, even though the main battery (MV) was at 70% charge. There were no prior warning lamps or messages before the failure. The vehicle had to be towed and left inoperable for nearly 30 days. According to the servicing Hyundai dealership, the root cause was determined to be a failure caused by Hyundai’s own connected app, Bluelink — which the dealer explicitly said is the root cause for my batteries failure. Hyundai Motor America, however, has refused to acknowledge this diagnosis, and despite repeated inquiries over a 60-day period, has not provided any explanation or confirmation of the cause. They continue to point back to the dealer while providing no warranty-related answers, no documentation of testing done, and no safety assurance that the failure won’t recur. The issue puts safety at risk, as the 12V battery’s failure renders the entire EV completely disabled — without warning. This creates potential for owners to be stranded, especially if the issue occurs in unsafe or remote locations. In my case, roadside assistance failed to be able to pick up the vehicle twice, resulting in a 12-hour ordeal. Hyundai has made no effort to formally investigate the potential connection to Bluelink and appears to be suppressing acknowledgment of the defect trying to offer me a one month payment instead of acknowledging or confirming this is a possible issue that can happen again in the future contingent on me saying my concerns are resolved; they're not. The resolution involved a tech having to use a third party tech line & no data within the invoice. I believe this is a broader safety issue affecting other Hyundai EVs using the Bluelink system and that NHTSA should investigate whether this poses systemic risk across affected vehicles.

INCIDENT ONE: On 3/20/25 about 5 minutes after starting Climate Control on my Ioniq 6, I cleaned snow off the car and started it. As I started backing out, there was a loud warning sound and red indicators around the aerial image of the car on the dashboard. I double checked my surroundings and found no obstructions, so I continued to back out. As I began to turn the car into the direction I needed to head down the street, the car abruptly stopped. I had to put the car back into Drive and pulled forward. I checked again for snow on the bumpers and found none, so I backed out again, this time successfully. When I reached the intersection and tried to turn, the car again abruptly stopped and automatically sounded the horn. The car stopped in the lane of oncoming traffic, but there were no cars approaching. Again I had to put the car back into Drive. I pulled over and took a cloth and glass cleaner to wipe down the cameras. After doing this, I was able to continue on my commute without seeing red lines around the image of the car and without being abruptly stopped when turning. The dealer was unable to reproduce the problem, which they attempted to do under different weather conditions from those on the morning of March 20th. INCIDENT TWO: On 4/7/25, driving on a four-lane highway, a car pulled in front of me without signaling. I tried to alert them to my presence by sounding the horn. The space in the center of the steering wheel (with the horn icon on it) produced no sound when pressed. This was alarming. Fortunately I was able to slow down, and I was not hit by a car from behind. Later. I tried the horn again several times with no sound produced. The dealer repaired the horns.

Since implementation of the recall (software update on ICCU) in January, the 12v battery has gone dead 3 times (every ~3 weeks) while the vehicle was parked overnight. It hadn't had this problem in the 6 months prior to the software update, and the dealer shop is unable to diagnose a problem. They say they are unable to reverse the software "fix" which seems to have caused the problem, and refuse to replace the ICCU.

I had my first ICCU recall issue, it was taken care of at Holler Hyundai in Orlando, Florida. I don't even remember seeing a recall email sent out to me, or even a call given about the ongoing recall issues. I found out about the ICCU issues from Reddit of all places, but post after post of people detailing their issues. My concern is that there's numerous post, about EV battery failure while driving or getting ready to take a trip. Imagine getting locked out of your car in freezing temperatures? Due to it being an EV it's a lot more difficult to start or get in, and I don't always carry my physical key. I only received on key, so imagine if I lose that one. You can't use the app or key fob to get in, cause everything works off the 12v battery which is in operable at that point. Hyundai is not addressing this issue with its customers, or even potential customers which is disheartening. It only takes one fatal mistake before something horrible happens. At this point I don't feel safe driving it, definitely won't plan any trip more than 20 miles. Have you guys heard any news on the ICCU issue, what's causing it mechanical, software or otherwise?

Vehicle horn suddenly stopped working. Couldn't alert another driver who didn't see my vehicle and was cutting me off. Took the vehicle to the dealership who mentioned it was a safety issue and repaired the horn at no cost. Read several posts online where other Ioniq 6 drivers have reported horn malfunctions. No warning lights or messages appeared before or during the incident.

Driving on middle lane of fast freeway with kids in the car. The car began beeping lights of an electric malfunction, a 12v battery malfunction, an ICCU malfunction and then started to slow down all the way to 3 miles per hour and then it stopped in the middle of the freeway. A car behind us almost crashed into us and would have killed us. I feel very u safe and Hyundai will not do anything about it. It’s a one year old lease of a 2024 EV with barely 10k miles on it. They are not fixing in time and it also shows a recall that they didn’t accommodate or were able to schedule.

Both the high and low tone horns on the car failed with 7500 miles on the vehicle. This has caused the inability to warn other drivers of lane encroachment or alerts. The part is being replaced under warranty currently waiting on the part to arrive. Estimated repair date 11/22/24 As a member of multiple Hyundai Ioniq groups this seems to be a common failure across more Hyundai models then just the Ioniq.

I received the safety recall letter and attempted to make an appointment with Modern Hyundai of Concord, NC. Service appointments were listed online beginning at the end of August and had available time slots, I wanted to check on any further availability so I called. Once I had the service department on the phone I was told that the earliest they would be able to schedule me is in October. I reiterated this was a safety recall and I purchased the vehicle from this dealership and was told that the dealership is a "high volume service center" and nothing could be done until October.

This incident just happened around 9:50pm. I have a 2024 ioniq 6 SEL with 2900 miles. I lost power to my motor while going below 45 mph. The gage that shows acceleration and recharge, zeroed out, showing absolutely nothing. Once I came to a complete stop, I had to restart the car for the accelerator to work. I am on 37% charge. This is not a low charge. There were no warning lights or sounds. I had smart ventilation on as well as lane assist. The steering wheel control became very sticky as the car began to lose power. I am thankful that this was a low speed occurrence and not highway speeds. The fact that I couldn’t accelerate means that if something was oncoming, I was in essence a sitting duck. This is the first time the problem has occurred in my vehicle and has not been inspected.

Within one month of purchase I noticed a bubble in the paint. The bubble is now cracking and affecting the gunmetal blue paint. I’m concerned this paint problem will lead to chipping and peeling in the paint.

What Owners Are Saying
"In late 2023 I posted a 2 month review of my 2023 IONIQ 6 SEL here. If you saw that post you might find it strange that I'm sitting here writing about my 2024 LTD AWD. In short, I was probably the first US-based IONIQ 6 owner to have his car 'totaled' by an insurance company after getting hit from behind at around 30mph while sitting at a red light. In that previous post I said that I loved the I6 so much I would only accept a FREE ICE vehicle if I could sell it and buy another I6. That might have seemed like hyperbole, but to show I put my money where my mouth is, I did exactly that when my 2023 was totaled. I doubled down and traded up (to a Limited AWD). Although the same foundation, there are a number of differences between the two. As such I figured having two different years and trims of IONIQ 6s within the first 2 years of production in the US might give me a unique perspective from which to offer opinions. So here they are for the Limited AWD trim: AWD means no space in the front for the same size frunk being offered in overseas models. Although the fact that other manufacturers can offer frunks alongside AWD drivetrains means that Hyundai didn't engineer the component locations as well as others."

"And how quick they charge vs VW ID family of vehicles you will not be disappointed, even if you go for AWD model. Example of my last mule Ioniq 6 SE RWD model with 18-inch aerodynamic wheels. Meeting or exceeding EPA figures if you set it at 65 MPH on cruise control ( this is my speed when traveling with engineering gear) At 70 MPH, mostly flat terrain on good day you should have no problem most of the time reaching 300+ miles. For winter conditions I didn't had chance, because of being assigned to different vehicle. Even in winter conditions and snow if you get winter tires, RWD will work quite well. If you travel like me close to 80k miles per year driving all four seasons and doing cross country trips on almost daily basis. #8· Jan 10, 2025 Thanks for the feedback. The ID.4 is a nice car but being higher up it's aerodynamics are not the best and it's charging speed is limiting when on a long trip. I have my subject set of notes when looking at EV's."
"IONIQ 6 First Drive Reviews Released A significant number of previous on the IONIQ 6 were released today, and all of them are glowing: Car and Driver: Motor Trend: CNET Roadshow: Edmunds: Kelley Blue Book (YouTube): Overall, I'm a huge fan of the interior and exterior designs as well as the ample passenger space. There's just one thing I can't wrap my head around: the steering wheel controls are the reverse of every other Hyundai/Kia/Genesis product. I don't know why they would reverse the buttons or if they're reversed in Korea relative to the US market, but it strikes me as odd. Even the US IONIQ 6 website (which shows the North American DRLs and side reflector) displays reversed volume/media controls and cruise control functions. As someone who is a fan of the current Hyundai/Kia/Genesis steering wheel button layout, I hope that this gets changed when the car starts shipping next year."
