Common issues and what they cost

12V auxiliary battery drain / no-start $200 - $600

EVs still rely on a 12V battery for computers and contactors. Software wake-ups, accessory use, or a weak battery can drain it, causing intermittent no-starts and warning lights. Often resolved with battery replacement and software updates.
Charge port / charging handshake faults $150 - $1,200

Connector temperature sensors, latch mechanisms, or communication handshakes can misbehave, leading to failed sessions, reduced charge rates, or repeated start-stop charging. Dirt, worn pins, or firmware mismatches are common contributors; cleaning, updates, or port component replacement may be needed.
HVAC heat pump / A/C performance issues $300 - $2,500

Heat-pump systems are efficient but complex. Low refrigerant, valve actuator faults, or sensor errors can reduce heating/cooling, especially in extreme temperatures. Symptoms include weak cabin conditioning and unusual compressor cycling; diagnosis often involves leak checks and component replacement.
Suspension alignment and tire wear (heavy EV torque/weight) $150 - $1,400

The IONIQ 5’s weight and instant torque can accelerate inner-edge tire wear if alignment is slightly off. Pothole impacts can worsen it. Expect steering pull, vibration, or rapid tread loss; alignment and earlier tire replacement are typical fixes.
Infotainment/cluster glitches and camera sensor faults $0 - $1,800

Occasional software bugs or sensor/camera calibration issues can cause frozen screens, intermittent driver-assist warnings, or camera dropouts. Many cases are corrected with firmware updates and recalibration; persistent faults may require replacing a camera module or control unit.
