Consumer Description

What component or system failed or malfunctioned: Rear electric motor. Specifically the "engine oil pump" that is used to cool the rear motor. The pump does not respond to MCU commands and does not cool the motor. This causes the motor to overheat after about an hour of highway driving causing the motor to provide VERY limited power. How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk: When the above happens the car experiences a delayed throttle, and very little power to accelerate. This occurs while traveling on a highway where you may need to pass, but no longer have the power to do so safely. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center: Dealer took the car in and did not properly attempt to reproduce the issue. Then stated that if the car does not produce a DTC then there is no issue. The dealer has since refused to accept the car again. This has been reproduced here: https://www.ioniqforum.com/threads/rear-motor-not-operating-45-min-after-charge.46007/ Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others: No, I have just started the process of reaching out to the manufacture, and if this fails I will be using my states lemon laws. Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear: No this issue does not appear to throw any codes, lights, or messages. The dash shows the rear engine producing no power, and the throttle will only show half when pressed to the floor.
