2024 Hyundai Ioniq 5 electrical complaints
Page 3 of 7: complaints 41 to 70 of 179, newest first, as owners wrote them.
While driving northbound on US-280 freeway, the vehicle experienced sudden deceleration with maximum speed limited to approximately 40 mph. The dashboard displayed a "Check Power Supply" warning. The vehicle required a tow to the dealership. Dealer diagnosis indicates likely ICCU (Integrated Charging Control Unit) failure. This is a known issue affecting multiple Hyundai Ioniq 5 vehicles, with numerous consumer reports of the same failure mode. The sudden loss of propulsion at highway speed created a significant safety hazard though we were able to make it off the freeway with hazards on. However shortly after exiting the vehicle further slowed and eventually died on the side of the road as did the hazard signals.
Car was acting normally. Suddenly, the car would not accelerate. I was on a small road with no place to pull over. Vehicle said to pull over check electrical system. At great risk to my life and the safety of my children, we managed to get to a safe spot before the entire vehicle shut down. We expect that this was a failed ICCU.
- What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? The ICCU failed. It is not available for inspection. - How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? Minimally. The car alerted me that it was power-limited and that I should stop the car immediate and get it towed to the dealer. - Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? Yes. - Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? Yes, the dealer. - Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? Yes. The car informed me it was power limited when I started it. When I started driving after about a mile I was instructed to pull over get a tow.
Car suddenly out of the blue reported electrical system problem and battery problem. It also entered turtle mode where it would not go more than 10 MPH. If accelerating across an intersection this would have been extremely problematic if expecting to be able to travel faster than that. Towed to dealer that said it is a failed ICCU. This is a common failure mode and there needs to be a fix and safety recall for this.
On January 31st, 2026, not long after starting a journey in my car, I got a “check electrical systems” warning. I was close to home so was able to turn around and drive home. Just before pulling into the driveway, the warning changed to a “power limited” warning. On Monday Feb 2nd, I had the car towed to my local dealership, where it has been since. The dealer confirmed that it was an issue with the ICCU component which is on back order to this day.
Received “check electrical system” warning when turning on vehicle. Car towed to service department. Diagnostic said it was an ICCU failure with a back ordered part and no clear timeframe on when it would be in stock and fixed.
The ICCU failed at approximately 14,000 miles. I was driving on a residential street and was able to park on the side of the road, so there was no danger, but the car became undriveable
ICCU failure. Put vehicle in gear and heard a pop from the back. Dash said something about check vehicle soon. approximately 5 minutes later chimes went off and dash said another electrical warning that sounded more serious. Towed to dealership. Said ICCU was bad
ICCU failure
The ICCU and fuse failed, rendering the vehicle unusable and stranding my wife and child. The problem has been confirmed by the dealer. The component was inspected and confirmed to have failed. There were no warnings or indications of any kind prior to failure. My wife heard a pop from the back of the vehicle, then all sorts of warning lights lit up and the vehicle stopped.
a warning "Stop immediately! Check Power Source" with loud beeping occurred and we were able to pull over and park safely. However, we were a 30 minute drive from home and in a downtown urban area. Took the next day off of work (essential healthcare worker at a hospital) to have car towed to dealership. ICCU failure. Told it could take months for replacement part to be shipped. Given a loaner car. Concerned that Hyundai does not have a real solution for this problem and that I cannot ever drive the car far from home again without risking the same thing happening again.
12v battery died at 13,484 miles
On November 21, 2025, while driving at approximately 60 mph and with approximately 15,685 miles on the vehicle, my 2024 Hyundai Ioniq 5 suddenly experienced a loss of automated systems including adaptive cruise control, lane keeping assist, and forward sensors. The failure occurred without warning. The following day, the 12V battery was completely dead and the vehicle required a jump start to operate. The vehicle was diagnosed with a failed ICCU (Integrated Charging Control Unit). The ICCU was replaced by the dealership on January 6, 2026, under warranty. There were no crashes or injuries as a result of this incident. The sudden loss of driver assistance systems at highway speed poses a significant safety risk, as drivers may be relying on these features and have no warning before they cut out.
I was driving on a residential street, traveling about 25 miles per hour. I heard a loud popping sound from the back of the car and within seconds I started to lose power. I pulled over to the side of the road and my car was dead. No electrical system, I couldn't even power the locks. I waited for several hours to have it towed to the dealer where it sat for 29 days waiting for the part. It's the ICCU that failed. Had I been going at highway speeds, I very likely could have been in a life threatening accident. This is unacceptable for a car.
ICCU failure. Occurred within the first few hundred feet after starting a drive.
Routine Friday morning and just finished charging my 2024 Hyundai Ioniq 5 at Walmart. As I started my vehicle to finish my commute to work, the dreaded "Check electric vehicle system" warning light came on along with a red battery icon. There were no warning signs or anything that could have foretold what would be happening. I pulled into an empty parking stall and called the Hyundai dealer for advice. I was told not to drive the vehicle and get it towed to the dealership. After being diagnosed, my car will need a new ICCU and ICCU fuse. The dealership gave me no ETA as it often takes weeks to months to receive the parts from Korea. I was told Fontana Hyundai had 9 other cars with the same ICCU issue in line before mine. I was so glad it occurred in a parking lot and not on the freeway since a malfunction with the ICCU will basically cause the car to loose total power and control. This is definitely a huge concern and safety issue.
ICCU failed after 14k miles. Car suddenly went into "turtle" mode (displayed on dash), car could only go 10 mph and my wife had to pull the car off the street asap and was a very scary experience. Dealer has confirmed the ICCU failure and given me a loaner vehicle. No eta on when the part can be fixed, just that it's current status is back order.
ICCU failure, which made the car stop dead in the road with no way to move it because the car shifts into Park when powered down (there is no way to shift into Neutral without power).
Iccu failure in middle of busy interstate. Pop sound and then notice of electric system failure. Only made it 1.5 miles before vehicle fully died. Extreme safety concern. Couldn’t use any electrical systems on EV
ICCU failure. Dealer advises 2 month wait for replacement parts. No loaner car available. Vehicle has 15 K miles. This is a big problem with this vehicle.
The car stalled while being driven by my son. It displaced an error code. The Car had to be towed to dealership. It was diagnosed with ICCU unit failure. Needs to wait over a months for parts.
Sudden ICCU failure in 2024 Ioniq 5 electric vehicle . A warning message to check electrical system appeared suddenly on driver dash screen. Tried to drive vehicle off street to a safe place to park. Vehicle shuttered and shook and would only move under 5mph on busy shopping & hospital area of 45 MPH road, placing me and my [XXX] child in danger of being hit by another fast moving car. Vehicle was towed to Bob King Hyundai in Winston Salem. They diagnosed the problem as a failed ICCU. Ongoing and long term problem with Hyundai. Service department has had my car for 11 days so far. They update me frequently. The part has been ordered but there is not ETA. Also, there is no guarantee that the new part will not fail as well. This puts my family at risk every time we drive the car, especially on busy roads and interstates. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
My car gave me a "Check electrical vehicle system" message, which I have seen online may mean a problem with the ICCU. As the dealership is close - about five miles from my home, on residential roads - I decided to drive there. The car lost power very quickly and then died in the road shortly after leaving my driveway. Thankfully I wasn't on a busy street or an intersection and was able to safely get it to the side of the road, but if it had died while driving at a higher speed it would have been very dangerous.
ICCU failure
ICCU failure: confirmed by dealership, submitting for your records - while driving the morning of 2/11/26 in Evansville, IN a warning message appeared on the dashboard stating 'Check Electric Vehicle System' followed by a rapid deceleration. Luckily there was not a vehicle behind me as they would have rear ended me. This failure occurred without warning and presented a significant safety hazard, leaving the vehicle stranded in traffic until I was able to restart it. Vehicle went in to turtle mode upon restart, would not go over 20mph at first then I stopped the car, restarted it again, it would move for 15-20 seconds before going in to turtle mode again and now it will not go over 10mph - interestingly, when I would stop and put it in reverse, the vehicle would move 10-20' and then come to a very abrupt stop as the entire vehicle shut off - had to tow the vehicle to the Hyundai dealership in Evansville Indiana where the ICCU was confirmed has having failed
Car died in neighborhood with electrical issue. Later reported to be an ICCU issue. At this point car has been at dealer service for over 29 days with no date on when it will be repaired.
The car displayed electrical system warning messages while driving, and it would no longer drive above about 25 mph. The issue was diagnosed as an ICCU failure by the dealership and has been awaiting a backordered ICCU for about 5 weeks.
“Check electrical system” warning while driving. Sudden loss of power and speed. “Turtle mode” icon. Limped home 2 miles at <10mph. Vehicle bricked. Towed to dealership.
While pulling into traffic the car lost power and went into limp mode risking a collision. Car was immediately backed into driveway and completely died shortly after the initial power loss and had to be towed to dealer. Dealer diagnosed an ICCU failure. Warning lights activated at the moment the car lost power. Had this occurred on a highway or in heavier traffic the power loss and speed with which the car went from fully operational to dead could have had catastrophic consequences.
