2023 Hyundai Ioniq 5 Brakes Problems

12/30/2023 at approximately 5:30pm I drove home with the iPedal engaged. The iPedal was installed as a download to the car in August 2023. My daughter was in the passenger seat.

Brake lights do not lit while decelerating using regen braking system without letting foot off of accelerator. There is no indication for vehicle behind mine to decelerate which can result in collision

On [XXX], I received a warning on my 2023 IONIQ 5 that said “stop vehicle and check braking system” and the car went into “turtle mode”. I took it into the dealer for repairs and they said the issue was related to the 12V battery and returned the car to me as repaired. Then, on [XXX], I was driving the car and I got the same error message but this time the car’s brakes didn’t work.

The brakes lights do not illuminate when slowing down using regen braking. This has cause cars to stop very close to rear-ending me. This video explains this issue in great detail

The regenerative braking will not turn on brake lights unless the accelerator is fully unpressed. In the more aggressive modes (L3 and I-Pedal), the stopping power is very strong. Without brake lights, it catches other motorists off guard and they nearly hit me.

When using most of the regenerative braking levels, including the one-pedal driving mode named “I-Pedal,” the brake lights will not illuminate until the drivers foot is fully off the gas pedal, or manually applying the brakes. This can create a dangerous, life threatening scenario leaving surrounding drivers unaware the vehicle is slowing.

Brake lights do NOT come on when decelerating in I-PEDAL mode and Level 3 regen brake modes, perhaps more. The car should instead generously apply brake lights by default anytime deceleration occurs via regen braking.
