Shouldn’t you try replacing the key battery first?

 

if you got 2 keys with the car as you should have, try using the other one.

 

In my experience, you would see a low battery message, but yes, that's probably a good idea

 

Key battery is probably low. Intermittent key connection issues in my experience are always low key batteries, warning or not.

 

I'm going to change the batteries. Today she didn't seem to have any issues

 

Yeah I bet thats what it is

 

You're not using your Android phone as digital key? I wish it was available for iOS

 

No, I tried to enable it but it kept failing during setup. I might try to do it again

 

Any Ioniq 5 owners took their car for service? Screen shows service required. I'm at about 5000 miles.

 

My neighbor with the Ioniq 5 had a 12v battery failure that left them stranded a couple times. Had to jump start it (crazy to think you have to do that with an EV).

 

While we are on the Ioniq 5, I am getting ready to return it next week. Wife will clean it out and wash it on Monday, and I will make an appointment and take it to the dealership sometime next week. The lease ends Aug 8

 

I've got that coming up soon, about 400 miles away from 5K and get the notice every time the car starts up. I think it's only a rotation and they'll probably try to sell you an air filter or two which I'll likely decline and do myself.

I have a warranty item on a body part they need to inspect first (rear spoiler has some trim pulling apart) so plan on doing that at the same time.

I've been to the dealer for the ICCU recall. It wasn't either terrible or memorable. As a comparison the place was more run down and had a less comfortable waiting area than local Toyota dealership but had better snack options and free bottles of water which the Toyota dealer doesn't do. Other than that was about the same.

SW, a 12V battery issue is pretty common across a lot of cars including Tesla and Lexus Hybrids, etc. On the I5 a low 12V battery may contribute to the ICCU issues some owners have had though (none here).

 

For the two recalls I've had, I just drop it off and they give me a Lyft back to the office, which is about 10 minutes away

 

Oh I'm aware, I believe the only EV that doesn't have a 12V battery is the Cybertruck...the only true 48v system. A bad 12v battery messes up all kinds of things, very common issue on 48v MB mild hybrids actually

 

Thanks, Dave. I think I got my I5 after yours so mine came with the recall/update done already. so far no issues. I even have a dashcam plugged in to the 12v outlet. Will bring it in next week. my Tustin dealer is pretty nice (as most car dealerships this part of Orange County).
