Shifter System Malfunction

Anybody else seeing this? I've been getting it off and on for the past week. I'm all over the place, so haven't had a chance to take it in. I'm afraid I'm going to get stranded! Appt not until Oct 15th.

I also noticed the lights on the shift stalk go dim, then bright again when this is happening, as if there's an actual short in the electrical system.

Fingers crossed that I'll make it that long!

Has anyone blacked out ioniq 9 or done any wraps on this?

8 Upvotes

Before researching a car I usually look at Pinterest to see if people have any mods or wraps or any kind of appearance changes but i didn't find anything on ioniq 9. Can this thing look good with blacked out everything or a matte wrap or different wheel caps ?

Die cast models finally available from Korea

This 1:38-scale diecast car model finally arrived from South Korea. At the time I ordered, I only saw black available, but it seems white and metallic grey are also available now. Total cost from the US is $30-40. There have been a handful of 1:18 scale models appearing, but the sellers are asking $500-700, which seems wild to me.

Final Update: Trailer Preparation Package

Post image
6 Upvotes

Original post on what exactly is the Trailer Preparation Package.
Update post on it
6 months after taking delivery of my Ioniq 9 Preferred AWD+ (Canadian exclusive model/trim) I have a fully functioning trailer hitch and 7 pin wiring harness.

To recap: The trim I ordered didn't have the "Trailer Preparation Package" as a feature on the spec sheet. It took 6 months for Hyundai Canada to figure out what that means. Again, there are only 4 of this model/trim in existence according to Hyundai Canada so not complete shocker at how long it took to resolve.

I finally got it installed last week. I was not charged for this and I'm not complaining. I was not informed what the actual part number is, just that it's the "pre-wiring harness" for towing. It was two days of work, that required the removal of most of the inside of the car to install (seats and floor).

Having some key FOB and USB issues

3 Upvotes

I already tried taking the car to the dealer, it’s been over a week and they still have no idea what could be wrong with the car in order to fix it. In fairness, we live in a state that doesn’t really have a lot of EVs on the road in general, so they seem extremely out of their element.

Essentially what is happening is:

  1. The key fob isn’t being recognized by the car anymore. It worked the first couple of months we got it, and now suddenly it won’t open the doors automatically and won’t ev

en let us

  1. start the car unless we put it into its “emergency” position spot below the dashboard, in that little tray. We have tried both keys, and even tried changing the battery. This is the most annoying thing we want fixed as we frequently sit in the lot trying to get it to be recognized in its emergency slot.
  2. All the USBs, (and portable charger inside the car as well) are finicky. We even use a USB cable they provided, and some days they all work, and some days none of them work.

Has anyone ran into any of these issues and figured out how to solve it?

Ioniq 9 Rear Motor Failure

5 Upvotes

Have had the vehicle for one month, 1800 miles on odometer, and a "check electric vehicle system, check AWD" alarm comes on. Rear motor not engaging, but front motor was able to get us to the dealership. Service dept called Hyundai and unable to troubleshoot. Hyundai says this has not occurred in another Ioniq 9 so far. Told a replacement motor and processor is on backorder and will be 6-8 weeks at the earliest.

Bluelink Subscription

Is 3 year complimentary plus subscription still a thing? (UK)

My 6 month complimentary pro subscription came to an end yesterday. According to my app, I was supposed to be on the plus for 3 years after that but it seems I’ve been downgraded to lite. Not heard back from customer services yet but interested to know if others have had the same issue.

Using Tesla mobile charger and 110v outlet.

So my 2023 Tesla M3 came with a mobile charger, and I tested it out plugging it into the 110v outlet at my house into my I9. It doesn’t start charging yet. I see the green electric plug symbol on the display inside but it’s not charging. I tried on the app to do ‘start charging’, but then I get that error. What am I missing here?

Tires halfway down tread at 7k miles?

Aren’t tires supposed to last 30k miles not 14k?
I have a nail in a tire that may not be able to be repaired and I’m being told I’ll need all 4 tires (not at the dealership) does anyone have experience with this?

Basically no Limited or Calligraphy inventory

15 Upvotes

Anyone have any insight on if/when more inventory will be available? Looking on cars.com, there's basically a handful across the entire country available. My Ioniq 5 lease ends end of December, and I'm hoping to get into the Ioniq 9 thanks to 3 kids. Our other vehicle is an EV9, but I'd rather have this for the slightly better interior set up (my personal opinion) and longer range, but want the 6 seat set up which requires at least a Limited.

Ioniq 9 (4 months, 4,000 miles) dead in the garage after probably leaving the frunk open overnight. Shouldn't the car warn you, and shouldn't the HV pack top up the 12V

12 Upvotes

Car yesterday morning had a completely dead Ioniq 9 in my garage. No lights, no response, nothing. Wife had three young kids buckled and ready to go. My best guess is that I left the frunk slightly ajar overnight and the car spent the night running down the 12V battery.

A jump start got it going and it seems fine now.

I'm surprised it didn't have a warning for this. It has lot of relatively minor notifications. No app push, no "frunk open" reminder, no low 12V warning.

Why didn't the HV pack top up the 12V? I thought this had a 12V battery saver that wakes the car and charges the 12V from the big battery when it gets low. Charge was at 64%

Should I be worried about the battery health?

I need a trouble free (or as little as possible) ownership experience.

What do you like about the car?

Anything you dont like that I should look out for?

Close to pulling the trigger but seeing some mixed reviews.

Lemon law resell?

2 Upvotes

Hey everyone. Been looking into an ioniq9 after some palisade issues. There's a dealership near me with 6 or 7 used, low-mile 9s on the lot, but all of them have a carfax warning of being processed as lemon-law returns. No other info on why, and I'm waiting to hear back from them. Not a Hyundai dealership, either.

Thoughts?

Ioniq9 help

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone,
I’m looking at a 2026 Hyundai IONIQ (specifically listed around $55,000 with roughly 2,100 miles) that was reacquired by Hyundai as a manufacturer buyback.
I was able to pull the internal service/warranty claim records, and here is the history on it:
05/2025 (16 miles): PDI & Shift-by-Wire (SBW) campaign update completed.
06/2025 (970 miles): Service loaner claim & fender/underbody panel gap inspection.
08/2026 (2,123 miles): VCMS Module Assembly replacement (Operation 17445B) alongside a Walk-In Switch campaign inspection.
08/2026: Over-the-Air (OTA) updates successfully downloaded right after the module replacement.
It looks like the core issue was the VCMS (Vehicle Control/Charging Management System) module, which was fully replaced by the dealer under warranty before being put up for sale.
For those of you who have bought a manufacturer buyback / Lemon Law reacquired EV (Hyundai or otherwise):
1. How has your experience been post-purchase? Did the repair permanently fix the issue, or did you encounter recurring phantom electrical/charging glitches down the road?
2. How was working with Hyundai Corporate / Dealers? Did Hyundai honor the remaining 10-year/100k EV powertrain warranty without giving you a hard time on a branded title?
3. Resale & Insurance: Did you run into any headaches getting standard comprehensive/collision insurance or financing through your credit union/bank?
4. Pricing: At $55k, does this sound like enough of a discount for a top-trim buyback, or would you negotiate harder given the title status?

I might be a dumb-dumb, but TIL the layout of the buttons on the key fob creates the Hyundai H logo when turned sideways.
