This is the fourth time this has happened to us during normal driving. I pulled out onto a highway and suddenly with no prior warning, the car lost all power and went into what I can only describe as a "limp mode" and wouldn't go above 5 mph. I had to quickly pull off the road as traffic was catching up at highway speed. The dashboard flashed "Malfunction, see owners manual" and we had an orange triangle with an exclamation point as well as a circle with exclamation point with a wrench next to it. The traction control light and car with exclamation point were also lit up. After limping to a cross road we turned the car completely off for 5 min and when we restarted it, it worked normally. The same thing happened July 25, 2024 and I had the car in the dealership. They said they could not recreate the issue even though I showed them video of the dashboard acting strangely. The service manager said he believed something had blocked the front bumper sensor and that it should be fine now. We have already performed both software updated recalls and since then, it has happened to us twice more. The battery was at around 80%, had just been driven by my wife for around 30 min with no issues, was turned off in the driveway for about 15 min and then we left again. It was extremely cold during this issue (temps around 10 degrees F), but this has also happened during normal temps in the summer and fall.

When I got in the vehicle after work on 11-22-23, it displayed a -??EV System-?? error alert and -??Power Reduced-?? alert. The vehicle would only accelerate extremely slowly and would only go about 25 MPH. Trying to go up hill to my house it would only go maximum of 10 MPH. I barely made it home. I left it at the dealership the next day (which was a national holiday) and they examined the car on 11-24-23 but could not find anything wrong. I have been told to drive the car and bring it back if the message occurs again. My EV battery seems to be no longer holding a good charge at this time. I am concerned about the safety of the vehicle at this time.

While coming to a complete stop using manual braking the vehicle appeared to lose power. The infotainment system went black and reset. The car itself did not need to be restarted and the manual brakes were still responsive. Additionally there is a recurring loud popping/cracking noise during normal driving (not charging).

My car had an 80% charge and I was going 75 MPH on a major highway. for the second time in five months the Ariya inexplicably shut off, went into neutral. I had to navigate three lanes to get off the nearest exit. The car immediately lost all power and decelerated from 75 miles a The car immediately lost all power and decelerated from 75 MPH to 25 before I could get to the nearest exit.This is so unacceptable. I do not feel safe in this car.
