My Ioniq5 has been in the dealership shop 2+ months now, for the famous ICCU issue. The parts are on back-order and have no ETA whatsoever. Spoke to Hyundai as well, no idea when (or if) the replacement parts will arrive.
The dealership has me in a rental but at this point, Im beyond frustrated. What are my options? Not sure if lemon law applies here since its only been one issue
State laws vary but it’s usually either the same issue multiple times or one issue that keeps the vehicle for a prolonged period of time. I would think 2+ months counts.
Hyundai will be happy to string you along so you may need to be proactive. If you qualify for lemon law tell them you want the car bought back or you will lemon it–you’d be surprised how quickly things happen after that.
On a side note I dumped my 2023 I5 after the ICCU issue became well known. Had zero problems with the vehicle but didn’t want to take a chance. Took a haircut on it but nothing like now. Ended up leasing an iX that then stranded me in traffic 3 months into ownership lol, but only for 30 minutes.
Hyundai has been pretty good with buy backs. You can engage them on that subject if you want. I know a guy that bought an Ioniq 5 used after it had already been bought back by the manufacturer and he’s currebtly working with them for them to buy it back a second time. That kind of surprised me.
Talk to a Lemon Lawyer, if you are still in CA you should be eligible.
I have 5 months left on the lease and I already got the replacement iX. So Im happy to dump this off my lap if I can. Need to figure out the lemon laws
You’ll often get something like a repurchase offer, which will reimburse payments sans miles driven at something like .15 per which is often really beneficial to even a LH. They might offer a hush-money settlement, or a capital exchange a.k.a an MSRP swap.
I highly recommend this lemon attorney: https://lemonlawattorneyinla.com/
Worked with him on several vehicles for myself, friends, and family.
SEVERAL VEHICLES? Like do cars come to you to die?
I’m 21, and I’ve lemoned more cars then car leases @li8625 negotiated
I’m 30 and I have more kids than you have third dates…
What are you guys doing to lemon your cars. And weren’t you 21 going to Dubai 4 years ago?
I was 17/18 then, and yes I’m still here and getting Porsches in the US LOL
Curious if you think its faster to go directly with Hyundai or should I go with a pro?
My vehicle has 24k miles on it and lease expires in a few months.
Every time I’ve tried direct to manufacturer they stonewalled. You will get a better response through a Lemon Lawyer. It also doesn’t have to resolve before the lease is grounded.
One for my wife, one for my brother, one for my parents, one for my sister-in-law, one for my wife’s cousin.
pro 100%. Manufacturers hardly want to do jack. I mean except BMW I’ve had good / weird things through them.
my leased ioniq5 (6 months and 3k miles left on the lease) is now stuck at dealership without an eta for ICCU replacement. They got me an enterprise loaner.
it worked great for 20k miles, broke down twice in parking lots in last 2 weeks with 12v battery draining issue.
lol. I have 7 months with 6k left on the lease when it broke down, I also have an enterprise loaner.
How bad is this defect? Seems like it affects all Hyundai/genesis ev line.
getting stuck in parking lots is not fun when you have places to go.
