2024 Hyundai Ioniq 5 electrical problems

Filed Oct 20, 2026 · Electrical · MA

The vehicle experiences catastrophic, recurring 12V auxiliary battery discharge and complete electrical system collapse due to a suspected repeating failure of the Integrated Charging Control Unit (ICCU). The vehicle was previously serviced for identical 12V power-loss failures and recall interventions in June 2025. Despite those prior repair attempts, the defect has recurred aggressively, resulting in four separate 12V battery collapse events in October 2026 (specifically on October 10, October 13, October 17, and a complete breakdown requiring a flatbed tow on October 19). This defect presents an extreme safety hazard: when the ICCU fails to step down high-voltage power to maintain the 12V system, the vehicle experiences sudden and unannounced loss of electrical power while parked or operating, risking a total loss of motive power, steering resistance, and exterior lighting in traffic. Diagnostic testing confirms internal 12V battery failure with normal resting parasitic draw, indicating the charging system root cause remains unaddressed despite prior manufacturer recall campaigns (such as Recall 272). The vehicle is currently at an authorized dealer awaiting diagnosis and repair.

My partner drove it towards location about 1 mile away. Partner had driven it about 3 miles each way just a few hours earlier. Also drove it about 5 hours earlier in the morning, then I drove it about 10 miles. I charged it at home L2 (6.8kW) successfully hours before partner drove it and experienced the problem. Partner said it had low power after starting, then expected power. Drove about 1 mile then the Stop Safely and Check Power Supply displayed on the dash. Partner pulled over and parked the car and contacted me. I contacted Hyundai Roadside Assistance to have the car towed to the dealership. AAA towing service driver was able to start the car and drive it onto the flatbed. Drop off was around 8pm. Next morning, the dealer's service associate called me. They said the car was dead. I described the "Stop Safely and Check Power Supply" message on the dash. Service advisor tested and their scan determined the ICCU had failed P1A9096. On service invoice: FURTHER EXAMINATION FOUND THE INTEGRATED CHARGING CONTROL UNIT HAS AN INTERNAL FAILURE, Service Advisor said the ICCU was replaced with a newer (Jan 2026) version, confirmed “bad ICCU and fuse” and replaced both: ICCU assembly (36400-1XAA0-A) and Fuse-High Voltage (375F2-GI040). Service advisor completed the replacement on the same day they received it 9/30/26 and I was able to pickup that afternoon.

On 5/27/26, when the car was parked in parking lot, received an alert on dashboard, "check electric vehicle system", when the car was turned on. The car would not shift in to drive or reverse so had to get towed to nearby Hyundai dealership. The EV system was recalibrated and test driven 122 miles to verify proper operation. Then on 6/23/26, when driving on road received an alert on dashboard "power limited". The car would not accelerate and had to get it towed again to same dealership. The dealership performed tests on ICCU and 12V battery but came back negative.

During routine driving, the vehicle suddenly displayed an electrical system. Error code followed several minutes later by a 12-volt battery error. The vehicle was stopped and turned off. When turned back on all warnings disappeared and vehicle was returned to service for approximately 3 MI before warnings appeared again. Vehicle was then parked as it entered limp mode with a maximum speed of 11 mph. manufacturers roadside assistance was called and arrived to jumpstart the 12-volt battery which resulted in the vehicle turning on but not charging despite sufficient charge in the high voltage battery. Vehicle was stranded in a secure parking lot after hours with Windows unable to be closed and doors unable to lock. The vehicle is immobilized due to being unable to put the vehicle into neutral to move it to a suitable location for a tow. Vehicle was certified by dealership as a certified pre-owned vehicle approximately 45 days ago. All listed recalls have been checked and no undue stress has been placed on the vehicle since purchase. Vehicle stranded to adults and one toddler in 80 plus degree heat without any ability to remove the car to a safe location or secure transportation to an appropriate business.

This is an EV . We use the regenerative braking to slow down. This car has both a front and rear dash cam. The car is about two and a half years old and has about 20,800 miles. We were approaching a red traffic light with several vehicles stopped in front of us. My partner was driving and had slowed to 8 mph, with her foot off the accelerator, advancing slowly towards the car in front of us when the vehicle experienced unanticipated, rapid acceleration. With quick reflexes, she was able brake hard and avoided a collision. Ten minutes later she was parking at our house, going 4 mph and it did it again, coming within four feet of the building. Neither time was she touching the accelerator, but the car accelerated like the accelerator was pressed to the floor. This is very dangerous.

On June 13, 2026, my 2024 Hyundai Ioniq 5 experienced a sudden and dangerous propulsion failure while in active motion. The vehicle had approximately 9,447 miles on it and was at 58% battery charge at the time of the incident. The vehicle was leased in January 2025 and has been serviced exclusively at the Hyundai dealership. While driving with two occupants, the vehicle abruptly lost all ability to accelerate. The dashboard displayed a critical warning: “Stop vehicle and check power supply” along with a red battery icon. This failure occurred without warning and immediately placed us in danger of being struck by surrounding traffic, as the vehicle could no longer maintain speed or respond to throttle input. I was able to coast the vehicle off the roadway. Shortly after stopping, the vehicle issued an additional warning stating that auxiliary functions were draining the battery. Within moments, the vehicle shut itself down completely. This left both occupants stranded in extreme heat (over 100°F) with no air conditioning, no ventilation, and no ability to restart or power the vehicle while waiting for rescue. This created a serious risk of heat-related medical distress in addition to the initial roadway hazard. The vehicle’s complete loss of propulsion followed by a full electrical shutdown represents a severe safety defect. At no point should an electric vehicle with more than half a charge and fewer than 10,000 miles lose propulsion during active driving or shut down all systems while occupants are inside. This incident posed a significant risk of collision, injury, or heat-related harm. I am requesting that the federal safety agency investigate this failure mode, as it may indicate a broader defect affecting the propulsion or battery management systems of the Hyundai Ioniq 5. The vehicle is currently at the Hyundai dealership undergoing diagnostics and they confirmed they had difficulty jumping it to move it from where the tow truck had parked it on arrival.

I am writing regarding a very serious and frightening safety incident involving my 2024 Hyundai IONIQ 5. While driving through a busy intersection in California, the vehicle displayed the warning message: “Stop vehicle and check power supply.” Within approximately one minute of that warning appearing, the vehicle completely lost power and became inoperable in the middle of the intersection. The shutdown occurred without warning and created an extremely dangerous situation. The vehicle’s hazard lights would not function because the car appeared to be entirely without power. Traffic continued moving around me while I was stranded in the intersection, and I genuinely feared that another vehicle could collide with me. I ultimately called 911 because the situation was unsafe and I could not move the vehicle. Police responded and directed traffic until the vehicle could be towed. Hyundai dealership had the vehicle for 22 days and diagnosed it as a faulty ICCU (Integrated Charging Control Unit) which they replaced for no charge. This incident has caused me to lose confidence in the safety and reliability of this vehicle. A complete loss of propulsion in active traffic — especially accompanied by failure of the hazard system — is an unacceptable safety risk. I no longer feel safe driving this vehicle. Hyundai of America would not let me cancel the lease early due to safety concerns.
