Repair issues and fixes

I would talk to my dealer. This even if it a just a nonsense for now, it should be looked at. Your car looks "new" 2022/2023? All components of the electric should be covered with the 8yr 160,000 km warranty.

 

Ferenc, have you checked your cell balance lately? And the BM2 graphs, if you have one installed?

 

No BM2 but 12V battery is seemingly, normal voltage. Cell balance is good but since a spell of daily high speed motoring (three months) and needing 100% charge each time, GOM only gives 390KMs at best and SOH is dropping regularly and is now 96%. @ 58,000 kms.
Will be doing 60,000 service soon and fruitless discussion with dealer kept ignorant by Hyundai.
Our summer temps have been between12 C at night to 30 C during the day.

 

Thank you for sharing your insights on the reliability of the Ioniq 5 compared to the earlier reports of issues with the Kona EV. It's reassuring to hear that there haven't been widespread reports of major powertrain failures with the Ioniq 5, especially considering its higher volume of deliveries.

It's unfortunate that some owners have encountered issues with the 12V battery and HVAC/battery cooling setup. However, it's not uncommon for new models to have some teething problems, and it's encouraging that these issues seem to be more manageable compared to the powertrain issues experienced with the Kona/Niro.

Overall, it appears that the powertrain of the Ioniq 5 is proving to be more reliable, which is a positive development for owners and prospective buyers alike. It's essential for manufacturers to continue improving and refining their electric vehicle technology to ensure long-term reliability and customer satisfaction.

Thank you again for sharing your observations, and here's hoping for continued reliability and success with the Ioniq 5.

Issue: Preset radio stations on SiriusXM will not advance past the 1st preset and will only allow you to toggle stations in reverse to the 2nd preset.

Fix: After noticing that the 2nd preset was a Pit-Bull station that I do not recall adding to my favorites, I removed the preset (sorry Pit-Bull fans). After I removed the preset, I was able to toggle through my stations without issue. Seems like a software bug that it won't advance past the station if the station is no longer available on SiriusXM, but also kind of odd that it added the Pit-Bull station.

 

Question about gear reduction unit oil. I am letting the dealer change it at 120km so if the GRU fails there will not be a warranty hassle. Their quote specified "LM20012 Liquid Moly GL4+ gear oil 75w90 1 litre". Not pn 00232-1906-3. What do you think, forum members? This one is above my pay grade.

 

CV boot question: has anyone needed to replace one? My passenger side inner is a little damp, but not too bad yet. Dealer price on replacement is shocking, considering it will already be up on a lift for GRU oil change. I've done this job plenty of times on hondas and VWs, but I want to check the procedure especially withdrawing and reinstalling the axle from the GRU (on hondas it prys out and clicks back in). Anyone have the relevant pages in workshop manual? Thanks!

PS> Rock auto price on entire axle with both CVs is <$100Cdn!
PPS> It could also be a seal on the GRU, I'll have them check.

 

It more or less meets the spec in my owners manual: 70W, API GL-4, TCGO(MS517-14). I doubt the slight difference in viscosity is meaningful. Since this is the dealer's choice for oil, it's still under warranty, and I have not had any GRU noise I think I will take the chance on the liquid moly. Feel free to warn me if you think I am making a bad decision here.

 

That oil is a fair bit thicker than the 70W specified and the dealer should know better. Here are various oils for which I've graphed the viscosity range, including the OEM Hyundai 70W - the thinnest oil here. The Kona GRU tends to run around 45°C and there is a quite a big difference.

If you're in a very cold region use one of the lower five oils in the list. If in a mild region then any of the lower seven.

 

I contacted the service manager who caught the clerk's mistake. The car will have the correct DCT70W.
