2022 Hyundai Ioniq 5: stuck in gear or won't shift

Filed Apr 29, 2026 · Electrical · GA

I tried to start car and it started but would not go into drive. A message saying "12v battery voltage low. Stop safely." Was on the screen. I turned the car off and back on and was able to drive home. Once home I tried to charge the car but it would not charge. However I left it plugged in and came back several hours later and the car had charged some. I started the car and the messages did not appear. The next day i went to drive the car and the car was totally dead. The auto key would not unlock the car. Thank goodness , I was not driving when the battery died. I took it to the dealer. This is the 2nd 12v battery I have had to replace in 4 years. The first replacement was covered under warranty. I asked them to try to identify the root cause of the 12v batteries dying so quickly and they claim it is only the 12v battery. I feel unsafe driving the car now knowing it could happen at any moment again, maybe while driving. I think the problem is related to the ICCU as my symptoms are very similar to other people with ICCU issues.

A sudden pop was heard, and the vehicle indicated that an electrical fault would require the vehicle to be shut down as soon as safely possible. The vehicle went into limp mode and would not exceed 25 MPH.

Hyundai Ioniq EV's have a continuing issue with a component called that "ICCU". The ICCU and high voltage fuse failed even after two recalls meant to monitor that problem and update the software. Luckily, mine failed in my driveway at home which did not put me in immediate risk. However, many people have this part fail while driving on roads and highways with zero warning. There have been two ICCU-related recalls that my car has had. When I started my vehicle I heard a "pop" and then the dashboard said "Check vehicle electrical system" and then shows the "limp mode" icon allowing to drive the vehicle at a slow speed to safety.

ICCU and High Voltage Fuse blew suddenly and without warning on a 50 mph poorly lit road before sunrise. Vehicle immediately entered limp mode in traffic. Car could not make it safely back home before losing all power in the middle of the road (no warning was given that limp mode was about to fail it just stopped with all screens still on).The dead 12v battery (which the ICCU failed to recharge) made the car completely immobile once it turned off even for towing purposes. Put my safety as a driver and those on the road with me at risk with the vehicle drastically slowing down in the middle of travel with no way for others to pass me. Problem confirmed as the ICCU failure by dealer after finally restoring enough power to get the vehicle in neutral to be towed. The pending recall on this Vin is only pending because it is still sitting waiting for the replacement part a month later. no ETA on a resolution as Hyundai has stopped responding to requests for any information on timelines other than "eventually it will be replaced". All previous recalls for this problem were completed but were only software updates to "potential lower chances of occurrence". Issue is a very known Hardware issue and is very well documented online and local dealers are extremely familiar with it, but Hyundais solution is only to check if the part has already failed and a software update that does not fully prevent the failure in the future. Issue still occurred. no prior warning or behaviors were given

The car started reporting error messages including "Stop vehicle and check power supply". It briefly went into limp mode before dying completely. Flat bed to dealer who can't begin diagnosis for at least a week. This sounds identical to the ICCU issue that many owners are experiencing.
