This is the second time I’ve taken my Hyundai IONIQ 5 in to Hyundai as part of a recall “fix” for ICCU Failure. Each time, the car has been operating fine, I take the car in for the “fix” as it’s required, and then shortly after the car breaks down while it’s in motion / operating. I’ve concluded these are not “fixes” and I have no ability to trust the safety or reliability of the vehicle. 1) ICCU Failure 8 Days After Recall “Fix”. Same thing happened the previous year. Took the car in for the recall “Fix” and shortly after the car dangerous broke down while driving. 2) Car became a brick. 3) Yes, Hyundai Service Center has confirmed ICCU fault. 4) Yes, see #3 5) Yes, minutes before the car became inoperable.

1) This is the second occurrence of this issue within the past 12 months. While driving, my EV displayed various blinking lights and a “Check EV Connection” message, followed by a “12v Battery Critical” warning. The entire system began shutting down in the middle of the road. I managed to pull over before the car completely shut off. 2) This malfunction posed a significant safety risk to me and others. The rapid deceleration and uncertainty of an imminent shutdown almost caused an accident, either from other vehicles crashing into me or from my inability to stop in time, potentially hitting another car. I have faced this life-threatening situation twice within a year due to the same issue. 3) The problem was confirmed by my dealership less than a year ago, and my car is currently being towed back to the dealership for re-inspection of the same issue. 4) The vehicle and its components have not been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives, or other parties for the current situation. However, the manufacturer issued a recall for this problem last year AFTER my initial report, incident, and repair. They claimed to have fixed the faulty issue or replaced the necessary parts, when my vehicle was repaired less than 12 months ago. Despite this, I am experiencing the same critical problem again. 5) During the incident, my entire panel started blinking with a “Check EV Connection” message, followed by a red warning sign indicating a 12v Battery Critical Failure warning. The system then went black, and the panel continued to blink white and black consistently while parked. The car cannot be started or moved.
Turning into my driveway one evening, the car displayed the "Check Electric Vehicle System" alert on dash. The following morning while backing out of the driveway to wait for a tow, the alert changed to "Stop vehicle and check power supply". Got car towed to dealer, and after diagnosing, confirmed that ICCU failed. Car has been at the dealer for almost 2 weeks at this point, and the part is still back-ordered with no ETA, according to the service advisor I have been working with.
I had the most recent recall (code 702 I believe) done on January 13th. I believe the recall was an the federal safety agency required recall and after the software update that was part of the recall my car will no longer charge. It has been with the dealer since January 15th with no resolution in sight. The software update was I believe the 4th such update intended to prevent a part called an ICCU from failing. It took 4 business days but the dealer Hyundai of Roseville confirmed the ICCU needs to be replaced and they don’t have an ETA on when the part will be shipped. Online I have seen reports of the same thing happening to others and the ICCU repair process taking 1-2 months.
Electrical system failure. Available for inspection upon request. While driving, warning appeared on dashboard. Warning said, "Stop Vehicle and Check Power Supply" The safety of vehicle occupants and others on the road was put at risk. I lost control of the vehicle in the middle of traffic due to the loss of electrical power. The problem has been confirmed by San Leandro Hyundai as part of the Safety Recall for the Integrated Charging Control Unit, Recall number 272. the federal safety agency Recall number 24V‑868. The recall repair was completed but the ICCU was not replaced and is still defective. A few minutes prior to the eletrical failure a warning message appeared on the dashboard. The warning message said, "Stop Vehicle and Check Power Supply". First appeared on Saturday January 11th at 4PM (PT).
The vehicle has no power whatsoever. Upon approaching the vehicle, it did not unlock. I used the physical key to open the drivers door. I then tried starting the vehicle only to have the gauge and center display flashing on and off with a red warning That the 12v was dead, to pull over and top immediately then the displays turned off. There are no lights or power to the vehicle no whatsoever. It cannot turn on any of the interior lights or even power door locks. This means only the front doors can be opened or locked and the vehicle will obviously not move. The 12v battery system has been a continuing issue with the vehicle. It has been repaired and the subject of several recalls during my short ownership and is still a problem. Due to a blizzard, I have been unable to have the vehicle taken to the dealership and have been without transportation for 3 days already with no clear resolution from Hyundai.
The ICCU on my Ioniq 5 failed without any warning from the car or mobile app. All recalls were performed on the vehicle prior to it failing. I was unable to charge the vehicle on level 1 or level 2 charging. The dealership replaced both the ICCU and fuse on the vehicle.
On [XXX], I was driving my 2022 Hyundai Ioniq 5 SEL when all of a sudden the car started beeping and displaying a 12V battery voltage low. Stop safely message. I was traveling on [XXX] in the Las Vegas area and the car all of a sudden came shut off seconds later. This presented a very dangerous situation with other vehicles traveling at 65+ mph and the vehicle shutting off. I was able to use a portable power jump starting pack to at least get the car restarted and pulled off the side of the highway. Even after jump starting the vehicle, it would only stay running for a minute before shutting off again. The is the second time in 2 months that my car has lost power. The dealer, ABC Hyundai in Las Vegas did a ICCU recall and said that would solve the problems. The problem has not been resolved and I do not feel this is a safe vehicle to drive.

Today when I was driving down a canyon going 40 mph, the car started coasting and the accelerator was unresponsive. I couldn't keep the car from decreasing speed and regen braking wasn't working either. I don't know whether it's related, but this happened within seconds of me turning off daylight savings time in the menu. I coasted to a safe place to pull over (the brakes worked fine), but I could not get the accelerator to work after switching from drive to park to drive again. After turning the car off and then back on, the accelerator again worked like normal. After continuing driving, I turned daylight savings time on and off a few times, but nothing adverse happened.
On Saturday, [XXX], at approximately [XXX], I drove my 2022 Hyundai Ioniq 5 north on [XXX] . The car was operating normally. I stopped at the red light at the corner of [XXX] and noticed a large red circle with a "Check electrical system" warning on the driver's display screen. When the traffic light turned green, I pressed the accelerator pedal, and the car did not move. I looked at the "Park, Neutral, Reverse, Drive" shifter. The "P" was lit up, indicating the car was in "Park." I attempted to switch to "Drive," and the status indicator remained in "P." I then pushed the "EV START STOP" switch to see if I could cycle the vehicle off and then back on to clear the problem. The switch had no effect. [XXX] is a busy four-lane, undivided street near the University of Colorado at Boulder campus. I selected the hazard flashers and called 911 to alert the Boulder Police Department that I was in a car that was immobilized in the middle of the right-hand northbound lane. Cars had to swerve to avoid me. The Police Department dispatched a vehicle that arrived 10 minutes later, pulled up behind me, and put its flashing lights on to alert traffic. While waiting for the tow truck, I received another alert on the driver's display that informed me that the 12-volt battery was nearly completely discharged, and I had 10 minutes of power left. The warning counted the remaining minutes to 0, and the displays shut down. From the first warning message to the shutdown, I could not turn the car system off or shift the car out of the park. The tow company had to put dollies under the rear wheels of the Ioniq 5 and lift the front end off the ground to tow the vehicle, as all four wheels were locked. The car was towed to Crossroads Hyundai in Loveland, Colorado. It had just been serviced to address all the recall issues, including the ICCU software update. The car has approximately 16,000 miles on it. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
A warning to check electrical system was displayed. The battery did not have sufficient charge to drive it to a dealer so I tried to charge and the car would not charge past 60%. I was able to drive the car to the dealer where they diagnosed a failed EV battery. Prior to the failure the car would use battery percentage much faster than it should have. For example, a fifteen mile drive would deplete the battery 25 miles. The dealer still has the car waiting to replace the battery.
The Integrated Charging Control Unit failed. My vehicle would not accept a level one or level two charge. You would have to remove the rear seats to inspect. No one’s safety was put at risk. The problem has been confirmed by a dealer. The vehicle has not been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others. There were no warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure. No warning lamps appeared at all.
I was charging my car at home like I usually do and around 2am I received an alert on my Bluelink app that a charging alarm was detected. I saw that the breaker for my charger had tripped which it had never done before. I reset the breaker and tried to restart charging but was not successful. I turned on the car and immediately got the battery and EV warning lights telling me to stop the vehicle.

I had the vehicle towed to my local dealer and they determined it was the ICCU issue that has affected many Ioniq 5s. I had the software update done that was part of campaign [XXX] but it obviously didn’t work. It took a week to get a new ICCU fuse in and they also updated the software again in accordance with recall [XXX]. I am leery about another software fix solving this problem for good.

Driving down I95 at 75mph. Heard loud "thunk" and car lost both power and brakes. Warning lights on the dashboard said to check brake system. I was unable to pull onto the shoulder due to construction barricades in place. The car slowed to 10mph and continued until I was able to pull over onto the shoulder. This was very dangerous given the highway traffic speeds, construction zone with limited emergency pull over space, and due to it being night time. Turning it off and on again restored power but it happened 4 more times before I was able to make it to an exit. This seems to be a common issue with this model. I have already performed the ICCU recall that was supposed to address this
A warning popped up "Check electric vehicle system", then a few minutes later an error popup appeared "stop vehicle and check power supply" and the car would no longer go above 27 mph.
Feared ICCU leaving us stranded after reading so many reported failures, took car to dealership where they inspected and did some ineffective software update, few weeks later experience EV warning light and sudden loss of power, car wont go more than 25 so we parked and were effectively stranded. Dealer suspects ICCU....great. exactly what we wasted time trying to prevent. A KNOWN PREDICATABLE PROBLEM IS CALLED A DEFECT!!!!!!
The car gave an warnings of “Check Electric Vehicle System@ and started slowing down in the middleman of the road. I could have been easily rear ended or got into a serious injury. After googling, it seems almost all if not most of ioniq 5 are having this issue after certain mileage
Every so often when I am driving on the highway, the car just looses power and I may catch a message that flashes on my display, "Emergency Braking". The event last no longer than about a second. When this phantom braking happens, so far, it has not been so severe to feel dangerous just unsettling!
The vehicle lost traction power, failed to respond to presses to the accelerator and coasted to a stop. It gave no indication on the dash that there were any problems. Putting the car in park and then selecting drive again restored traction power and the car responded to pressing of the accelerator pedal. The car was not turned off and back on. During the incident: - The brakes, steering, air conditioning, radio and other electrical equipment continued to operate normally. - The car was configured for "Level 2" regen braking, but during the incident, when all pressure was removed from the accelerator pedal, the car did not "feel" like it slowed as normally did during Level 2 regen when there is no application of the accelerator. - The car was configured for "ECO" mode. The drive mode was switched to Normal and Sport during the incident but it had no effect. - The Power/Charge gauge on the dash neither indicated Power when the accelerator was pressed nor indicated Charge when coasting (as would be expected for Level 2 regen) or when the brake pedal was pressed. Car Information: - The car had about 75% charge and reported about ~260 miles of range. - The manufacturers app has not reported any "DTC" codes. - The car has no open recalls at this time. - Service Campaign 997 was completed August 23rd at dealer. - Service Campaign 9A1 was completed August 23rd at dealer. Additional Information: - A previous event similar to the above described event happened on August 21st where the vehicle lost traction power but gave no indication that anything was wrong. - Reported it to the dealer, but they were unable to find anything wrong or recreate the problem. - They applied the ICCU software update.
While driving at highway speeds, there was a loud pop and the display showed "reduce power mode". We had to improvise a stopping place despite being far from home. There was no warning or issues beforehand. This incident was risky because of the loss of power while on a high speed thoroughfare and limited stopping options. The vehicle required a jump to move onto tow truck to take to dealership, where it has remained for two weeks without an estimate for repair. The symptoms.seem consistent with ICCU failure.
Check electric charge error displayed, alarm sounding, loss of power to the vehicle while driving (limp mode).
Lost power while driving
ICCU failure. The car dashboard display alert "Stop vehicle and check power supply" While trying to drive to the nearest dealership to inspect the alert, the car was limiting to 25mph, and eventually, the car died completely.
When driving for a distance at higher speeds, power will suddenly drop to the zero point btw acceleration and regeneration. You can feel the car start to drag as the power drops. If you press hard on the accelerator to stop it from slowing, it will suddenly jump forward. This has happened now on several long trips where I am constatly fighting with the car to keep it powered and not slipping into the zero zone. When it leaps forward the lane assist will also grab control and make it difficult to control the car. The car also stops slowing consistently when I take my foot off the accelerator and will move/ jump forward more than is typical for an EV instead of slowing the way an EV should as it regenerates. This all happened twice previously on a long trip and today constantly during a three hour drive. Does not feel safe!
1.We purchased the vehicle (Hyundai Ioniq 5, 2022 Model) on MAY 20, 2022. 2.The vehicle was acceptable until it started to fail on us while we were on the road, and soon after the vehicle crawled home at limited power and came to a stop, it would no longer even turn on. 3.Then started our nightmare with Hyundai USA. We called the service department and they told us, based on our brief description of what happened, that our vehicle would be unsafe to drive a single more mile (which was impossible anyhow because it wouldn’t turn on), and to tow our vehicle to Hyundai dealership in Fayetteville, AR for repair on DECEMBER 27, 2022 at our own expense. 4. From what Hyundai, Fayetteville, AR's service engineer named Evan told us, they have replaced the fuse no less than four times and it kept blowing when they went to test the vehicle. After the basic fuse replacement, it caused the problem to become worse, and revealed an ICCU problem, that then revealed acceleration and charging problems, and the initial fuse problem still persisted. Codes kept popping up, and whenever they fixed the current issue, another one would present. Long story short, it turned out the vehicle was experiencing “mass power surges,” issues with the batteries, and displaying codes for reasons they were unsure of, causing the basic fuse replacement to “pop.” They even called in a Hyundai Engineer directly from corporate to try to fix the vehicle, but according to Evan, even he had no idea what was wrong with the vehicle and had left with some data.
The vehicle completely lost power and there was 207 miles left to the charge. The message displayed on the driver's screen read "12V battery voltage low. Stop safely" I had no other choice than to stop since the car suddenly had zero power. The car was towed to Hyundai dealership on 2/15/23 and I have yet to have the vehicle repaired. Hyundai keeps informing me that the part is on order and delayed. I have been waiting a long time for a defective vehicle.
Car literally DIED while driving. Went from normal speed to 12mph to 6mph to dead. ICCU failure.
Failed EV drive system. Error messages of electrical problems and shortly went complete dead. 12 volt battery was dead and won't charge. Car was towed to Ideal Hyundai in Fredrick MD. Dealer reported failed ICCU and parts for repair are on back order. Fortunately the failure occurred when pulling away from parking. If I had been at highway speed it could have been disastrous.
Called an ICCU failure. It's the control unit that charges the 12V battery from the high voltage battery. The unit fails blowing the high voltage fuse. Failure of this component causes the vehicle to all but shut down, even while driving. This is known by Hyundai. Others have said this happens at about 12 months and 10,000 miles. My car was 53/54weeks old and had 9,300 miles. This failure of this part may have also caused my AC to stop working. As pressure sensor on the 12V system that was working before the component failed was not working when I received the car back, resulting in another lengthy repair. I had about 0.7 miles warning, a yellow check EV system lit up, then the whole dash lit up saying to pull over immediately. The ICCU was replaced by Hyundai with the "2023 spec" version.
The power gave out on the car and Hyundai refuses to fix it. They said a part needs to ship over and they give very little updates.
