Model years Hyundai Ioniq Electric
2017 Hyundai Ioniq Electric
This year drew 9 complaints, which is too few to read anything into. A share of a small number moves too much: one owner writing about the same fault twice would swing it further than a real pattern does. So nothing is claimed about this year either way. The 2 recalls below are on file regardless, and are not affected by how many people filed complaints.
NHTSA opened a defect investigation into this model year.
| Complaints filed | 9 |
|---|---|
| Median for this model | 6 |
| Involving a crash | 1 |
| Recalls | 2 |
| EPA combined | 136 mpg |
Recalls for this year
- 21V944000 ELECTRICAL SYSTEM Fixed free of charge.
- 17V532000 HYBRID PROPULSION SYSTEM Fixed free of charge.
How this was worked out
Every year of the Hyundai Ioniq Electric was compared against its own history rather than against other cars, which removes popularity and age from the answer — a common car draws more complaints at equal reliability, and an older one has had longer to accumulate them. A year is flagged when it drew at least 2.5× this model's median and at least 50 complaints.
This is a fault record, not a review. Nobody files a federal complaint to say the car was fine, so it shows what tends to go wrong — not whether owners liked it, and not whether it is a good car.
