As a counterpoint: Telluride/Palisade causing fires because they cheaped out on the current/torque sensors in the drive motors for the seats. ICCU failures across their current EV platforms. No fix planned last I heard. It hurts me to point this out because I really, REALLY like where their cars are going. Their new van is EXACTLY what we want, and I'd love an Ioniq 5N. But those failures are critical and speak to a very deep engineering culture issue.

They extended a 10 year warranty on the iccu. Even though there is no fix that’s probably good enough

Will never buy Hyundai again(applies to Kia as well). The company management has caused systematic quality problems. They can hire famous designers to put lipstick on a pig but the soul underneath is still ugly. I don't care how good their warranty is. That only matters if time spent trying to get your car serviced for warranty is worthless to you. Most people only have X cars they will owbn in their lifetime (likely singular for most people). Spend a little more and get a Japanese brand that still has some resemblance of shame. This video explains why: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y_epwf-IBgU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y_epwf-IBgU After watching this I totally understood why so many dumb issues occured: Kia Boys issues: cheaped out on adding a immobilizer in the US only, Canada had laws in place. Engine explosions: Poor manufacturing standards left junk in the engine causing oil starvation which caused spun bearings. Oil consumption: GDI engine design caused excessive burning of oil and deposit layers of gunk if you keep topping up oil. If you don't(and most Hyundai owners expect their car to work like a normal car and not burn up to a qt/1000 mi) then the engine eventually runs dry and explodes(denied warranty as well).
