Some Hyundai Ioniq 5 N owners claim their EV is accelerating on its own after a recall. A 600-hp SUV doing its own thing? That’s a heart-stopping thought!

Hyundai issued a recall in February to fix braking issues. But now, some drivers say their Ioniq 5 N is speeding up without warning. Talk about a plot twist!
Redditors posted videos showing their Ioniq 5 N surging forward unexpectedly. One clip even shows it happening three times! Proof or just bad luck? (You can check on Reddit Ioniq 5 N community).
One driver said, “In a 200-hp car, this might not be so bad, but at 600-hp, this gets dangerous very quickly.” Can you blame them for being upset?
Hyundai says they’re investigating the issue, but that doesn’t ease the anxiety of owners who now feel like they’re driving a ticking time bomb.
Some owners say their Ioniq 5 N now shifts smoother and feels tamer after the recall. Did Hyundai secretly dull the beast while fixing the brakes?
With 601 hp, 545 lb-ft of torque, and a 3.25-second 0-60 time, an acceleration glitch isn’t just scary—it’s outright dangerous.
The recall covers 1,508 vehicles, but Hyundai believes only 1% might have the problem. Are they right, or is this a bigger issue in the making?
Hyundai says to visit a dealership if you’re worried, but that might not calm drivers who now have trust issues with their $66,000 rocket ship.
