EV Owners Launch Class Action Suit Against Hyundai Over Charging Plug Defect

A nationwide class-action lawsuit claims that the Hyundai Ioniq 5, 6, Genesis GV60, and Kia EV6 plugs overheat, slowing charging significantly

"The rate at which Hyundai Group electric vehicles can actually charge when plugged in at home is at the heart of a newly launched nationwide class-action lawsuit. Plaintiffs claim that a defect in the plug port means that it overheats while the vehicle is performing level 2 charging, dramatically slowing energy recuperation speeds."

"Hagans Berman Sobol Shapiro LLP is representing the class of plaintiffs and reports that in some instances, the charging plug can overheat in as little as 30 minutes, leaving owners with little range to go about their daily driving."

"Indeed, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s website lists a number of complaints from owners relating to this issue. One owner said earlier this month that their vehicle app reported a “charging failure” every two to three minutes, though their vehicle did eventually fully charge."

"In addition, the plaintiffs claim that a software update designed to fix the issue is little more than a band-aid, and throttles charging speeds in order to prevent overheating, leaving owners with charging times of 10 hours or more."

“Not only do Hyundai, Kia, and Genesis continue to sell vehicles that are clearly incapable of performing as advertised, they also issued a software patch which substantially worsens charging rates and widens the gap between what they promised and what they delivered,” said Steve Berman, managing partner at Hagens Berman. “Unexpectedly finding a car with an uncharged battery in the morning causes serious disruption to people’s lives and could have dire consequences in an emergency.”

"The vehicles implicated in this class-action lawsuit are the Hyundai Ioniq 5, the Ioniq 6, the Genesis GV60, and the Kia EV6. Hagans Berman says it is bringing claims of violations of the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, violations of the California Computer Data Access and Fraud Act, and violations of applicable state consumer protection laws against the Hyundai Group."

We have reached out to Hyundai for comment and will update this story when we hear back.

Park Outside: 2023 and Newer Hyundais and Kias Face Fire Risk Recall

If you own a 2023 and up Kia or Hyundai car, SUV, or crossover, it may be part of a recall of 91,000 vehicles over a fire risk and needs to be parked outside.


Kia-Sportage-vs-Hyundai-Tucson-12r.jpg


"While you might be forgiven to think this is an expansion of another fire risk recall from Hyundai and Kia—related to a dealer or factory installed trailer wiring—this is different. With nearly 40,000 Kias and nearly 52,000 Hyundais, this new fire risk is equally as large but related to an important feature that's now common in modern vehicles: its Idle Stop and Go (ISG), aka Start-Stop Technology.

"The issue is related to the transmission oil pump that needs to run while 2023-2024 Hyundai Palisades, 2023 Tucsons, 2023 Sonatas, 2023 Elantras, and 2023 Konas as well as 2023-2024 Kia Seltos, 2023 Sportages, and 2023 Souls ISGs are engaged at a traffic stop. A manufacturing defect on the electric oil pump assembly damaged the multi-layer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) on its circuit board. This damage could cause a short while driving and damage the pump as well as its connector and wiring harness to the point of causing a fire and can affect other systems via a disruption in the Controller Area Network (CAN) communication. Even if the pump simply fails without a fire, the affected vehicle won't be able to drive away and will act like the transmission isn't engaged."

Almost 40,000 Hyundai Elantra Hybrids Recalled For Potential Unintended Acceleration​

A software issue might cause the Elantra Hybrid to accelerate after a braking event

Hyundai is recalling 37,997 Elantras hybrids over concerns that they might experience unintended acceleration. The issue affects three different model years from 2021 through 2023 and traces its roots back to a software issue. Despite a plethora of testing, Hyundai couldn’t replicate the issue itself but is issuing the recall regardless.

Is this new? Seems like there is a recall every week.
