What owners report
While the vehicle was stationary, the driver pressed a saved profile button on the Integrated Memory System (IMS) on the door panel to adjust the driver's seat. A passenger was seated directly behind the driver in the second row. Upon pressing the memory button, the motorized driver's seat began moving backward toward the saved position. Whether due to a system malfunction or a lack of built-in detection features, the vehicle did not interrupt the motorized movement upon encountering an obstruction.

On XXX, while driving my 2026 Hyundai IONIQ 9, the front windshield wiper system completely stopped operating. I activated the windshield washer because the windshield was dirty. Washer fluid sprayed normally onto the windshield, but the front wipers did not move. I then tried AUTO, LOW, and HIGH settings, and none of them worked. This created a safety hazard because washer fluid remained on the windshield and reduced visibility while I was driving. I immediately pulled over and parked in a safe location. I tested the wipers again while parked, but they still did not operate. After arriving at my workplace, I tested them again and they remained inoperative. I recorded a video while the ma
