I heard a popping sound from behind driver seat when I started the car. A few minutes later a dash warning showed up "stop vehicle and check battery state" followed by a complete loss of power on the road within 3 miles of reduced power driving (I was trying to find a safe spot to turn out of 6 lane road). Vehicle had to be towed to dealer who states the Integrated Charge Control Unit ICCU is not working and needs to be replaced. (i suspect the popping sound was related to that - ?blown fuse). The Part is on back order and has to be ordered from Korea and during the weeks long wait they do not have a loaner care to provide. This ICCU issue had a recall with software fix in 2025 which was performed on my vehicle. Why is Hyundai not fixing this problem for good. And why are they not providing me a loaner car?
2024 Hyundai Ioniq 5 electrical complaints
Page 5 of 7: complaints 101 to 130 of 179, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Jan 2, 2026. Vehicle made a popping sound and threw an error message. Took it to the dealer. Dealer diagnosed it with failed ICCU (integrated charge control unit?). Said that they had recently gotten 8 more failed units. Said that there are no more parts in stock in the US and Hyundai must manufacture and ship more. ETA is March but they are not sure. I do not believe Hyundai’s assertion that this only affect 2% of their EVs if they cannot keep parts in stock.
We purchased the car less than a year ago. It is still under warranty. The ICCU failed while we were driving on a city street. Several warnings lit up on the screen, telling us to immediately pull over for safety because of an electrical failure. We waited 30m for a tow truck in below freezing weather. It was towed to the Hyundai dealership, and several days later they inspected it and confirmed it was a failure of the ICCU (a known problem with this make and model). Replacement parts are on indefinite backorder - so we have no idea when the car will be repaired and returned to us.
On December 28, 2025, the vehicle displayed the dashboard warning "Check electric vehicle system." It was brought to the dealership and has been sitting there for 24 days so far due to a drained 12v battery and failed ICCU system. The dealers informs me that the ICCU is on a "national freeze, meaning that the part is on standby for further review by Hyundai engineers. The safety of everyone in the vehicle was at risk because the electrical system could have powered down in traffic without warning.
I was driving the car on the morning of January 1, 2026 and on its own with no warning it slowed down to 22 miles per hour on a street with 40 miles per hour. Cars angrily began speeding around me, and I could not make the car speed up beyond 22 miles per hour. I turned down another street and a message in the car said something to the effect of to check power source and pull over. I turned the car off and restarted but it the problem continued. I was able to make it home, and the car then went completely dead. I had it towed thereafter to the Hyundai dealer and they eventually told me the ICCU was broken and would need a new one (but they cannot say when even after weeks). I now see that many others have had this same problem for some time. I was not warned that this could happen (and would not have leased the car had I been told). It is dangerous to have the car throttle down especially to not be warned ahead, and I am glad I was not on a freeway and made it safely home. The dealer said this is happening to others, and that there are no replacement ICCUs in the United States. From the internet (I cannot verify) others said they waited months and got the same part which has failed for many, sometimes again after replacement. I only know what happened to my car and consider this dangerous.
The ICCU failed at 11,000 miles and 11 months into the lease. When the ICCU fails, the car becomes inoperable. This was a major safety hazard since it broke down on a major US highway and I was barely able to get off to the side of the road. This seems to be affecting a large number of Ioniq 5 and Ioniq 6 models.
Our 2024 Hyundai Ioniq 5 suddenly lost propulsion after briefly showing a warning that the 12V battery was malfunctioning. Fortunately, this happened close to our home on a road with little traffic. We could make it home at very slow speed (15mph) and the car completely shut off on our driveway and became unresponsive. The vehicle was towed to our Hyundai dealer by Hyundai roadside assistance service. The mechanic at the Hyundai dealer (Sport Durst Hyundai, Durham, NC) informed us that the Integrated Charging Control Unit (ICCU) had failed and did not charge the 12V battery. After researching I learned there had been a recall on the ICCU for model years 2021-24. However, when entering our car's VIN into the Hyundai recall site, and also in the federal safety agency recall site, we found that our car was not included in the recall. Still, the ICCU failed. If we had driven on a freeway the sudden loss of propulsion could have caused a catastrophic collision. I also read that even after ICCU replacement due to recall, some replaced ICCUs failed again. I am very concerned about the safety of the car, even after repair. The mechanic advised us that it may take more than a week for the ICCU to arrive for replacement.
We heard a pop noise and then received low 12 volt low battery warning. The Integrated Charging Control Unit (ICCU) might be the root cause of the Hyundai Ioniq 5 electric vehicle. Car went into slow turtle mode and we could barely move the car. we pulled over and found a safe spot to park car. we had car towed to Hyundai dealership since car was not operational.
ICCU unit died while driving. Very sudden - I got a message on dashboard to check the electrical system (and how am I supposed to do that on my own while driving?). Within a few minutes system tells me power was reduced (I had 85% charge), within a minute or so after that system starts telling me to pull over. Happened in town so I got to a paring lot and called service -- but the speed and cryptic nature kind of set me aback.
I was driving and emergency lights went on declaring no more energy to the car despite being at 68% charge. I was able to pull the car off the road. A tow to the Hyundai dealership revealed it was an ICCU failure. I had done the ICCU recall. It was towed to the dealer on 12/21/2025 and the car was fixed on 1/12/2026 (they needed to wait for the new ICCU unit to arrive).
ICCU failed. Confirmed by dealer diagnostic.
Component failure (ICCU module) lead to loss of power while driving. Vehicle required tow.
What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? - It was ultimately diagnosed as an ICCU failure. The part is no longer in my possession. How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? - Occurred on public street, fortunately a slow moving 25MPH speed limit several blocks from my workplace. I was able to limp the vehicle to a nearby parking lot and call for towing. Unfortunately, several hours later the vehicle was unable to be moved, leaving me stranded, and requiring it to be towed to local Hyundai dealership. I was ultimately without a vehicle for >1 week. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? - Yes, confirmed as ICCU failure. Additionally, my vehicle had the software update at the time that was supposed to fix / greatly decrease the rate of ICCU failures. I had no outstanding recalls on the vehicle. Vehicle was ~1 year old and had less than 12,000 miles on it. Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? - Yes, at least local Hyundai dealership mechanics Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? - Initially the error message "stop vehicle and check power supply". The next day, that message, then a yellow turtle and "Power Limited"
ICCU (Integrated Charging Control Unit) failure. The car had been working perfectly up until the failure and had about 70% charge on the main battery. As I started driving, I received a warning to check the electrical system but not really providing instructions on what to check. Car was not able to exceed 25 mph, then 15 mph and subsequently was completely dead after parking without ability to even lock doors. Car was towed to a Hyundai dealer, who confirmed that the problem was due to the ICCU unit breaking, which I am now waiting to have replaced since the part is on backorder. Due to ICCU failure, the power was coming from the 12V battery, which quickly drained. ICCU software patch had been applied previously under a recall, but the ICCU still failed. It does not seem that Hyundai has fixed the problem, and there are many other reports of this happening to other Hyundai/Kia owners with EVs using the E-GMP platform similar to the Ioniq 5. Even after getting ICCU replaced, some owners have reported the ICCU failing again. Please require Hyundai/Kia to fix this problem permanently as the situation could have been very unsafe for me had this happened on the freeway or some place I could not pull over.
The integrated central control unit failed on my Hyundai Ioniq 5. A warning flashed on my dashboard stating that the car needed to be turned off immediately because of a power issue. I was in traffic on a very busy road and was trying to navigate to a safe place when my car stopped and turned off. After several attempts, I was able to start it enough to get off the street and to a safe place. I was fortunate that I was stopped in traffic or someone may have hit me. The tow truck driver said that he is towing at least one or two 2024 or 2025 Hyundai Ioniq 5 vehicles every day for this issue. The Hyundai service center said the ICCU failed and do not have an estimated date for replacing it because of the number of ICCU units that are failing is so high and they are backordered. I do not feel that this car is safe to drive. These cars should be recalled. If I had been driving on a freeway, I could have been hit and killed because I would not have had time to find a safe place to stop.
Potential Failure of Integrated Safety Systems: On modern vehicles, the telematics/infotainment unit is often integrated with other vehicle systems. This failure raises concerns about the reliability of connected safety features, such as automatic crash notification through the Bluelink system, stolen vehicle tracking, and emergency service button functionality. I cannot verify if these critical safety systems are operational, which compromises my sense of security and the vehicle's intended safety package. Remote Start Failure as an Environmental Safety Issue: While remote start is a convenience feature, its failure in extreme weather conditions (extreme heat or cold) forces me to enter an unsafe vehicle environment. In cold climates, this means driving with frosted windows and a cold, stiff cabin, impairing visibility and driver reaction time. In hot climates, it can lead to dangerously high interior temperatures before driving. A feature sold with the vehicle to mitigate these risks is inoperative. Uncertainty and System Integrity: The root cause of this total system failure is unknown, as Hyundai Motors has provided no diagnosis. This uncertainty about the stability of a core electronic control unit is, in itself, a safety concern, as it may indicate broader electrical or software vulnerabilities that could affect other vehicle functions. I first reported this issue to Hyundai on October 29, 2025, ticket number [XXX]. Despite multiple inquiries, I have received no substantive update, no diagnosis, and no estimated timeline for repair. The manufacturer has effectively stated they do not know what is wrong with my vehicle or how to fix it. This is an unacceptable failure to uphold the vehicle's warranty and address what I believe to be a safety-related defect.

I am writing to formally document a serious and ongoing safety concern with my 2024 Hyundai Ioniq 5 SEL RWD Long Range Vehicle Information • Vehicle: 2024 Hyundai Ioniq 5 SEL RWD Long Range • VIN: [XXX] • Purchase Date: January 2024 • Purchase Price: $44,139.80 Summary of Events • May 2, 2024 – Recall performed: DTC CHK ICCU FUSE RPL24-01-0234 at Casa Hyundai Las Cruces • March–April 2025 – Repeated 12V battery failures. After two visits to Casa Hyundai Las Cruces, I was told an app on my phone (El Paso Electric charging discount app) was “checking in” too frequently. I deleted the app, and the issue temporarily subsided. • December 20, 2025 – Vehicle would not start after sitting for approximately one hour. Required a jump start from USAA. • December [XXX] – Vehicle would not start again; service appointment scheduled. • December [XXX] – Vehicle was jump-started and driven toward Findlay Hyundai St. George. While driving on the highway, the vehicle suddenly lost power. I was able to pull off the freeway, but this was an extremely frightening and dangerous situation. I was fortunate that my husband was following me. The vehicle had to be towed to the dealership. As of now, still waiting on parts (ICCU replacement) with no date given on backorder.

Almost immediately after shifting into reverse in my garage, I heard a loud pop come from the back seat. The car began to flash warnings on the dash about the electrical system, which turned to an emergency error after about a minute. I ended up having the car towed to the dealer, who confirmed the ICCU blew. I had not had the car on a charger in over 2 weeks and it is only charged on a level 1 charger in my garage. It has now been 2 weeks since the dealer received my car and are claiming that the part is still on back order.
My car (a 2024 Ioniq, which I bought new exactly a year ago, and which has less than 12,000 miles on it) lost power on a busy road. I ended up having to get it towed to the dealership as it was not drivable. It’s currently at the dealership with a blown ICCU, which I’m told needs to be replaced. Apparently this part is on back order due to high demand & I do not have access to my vehicle for at least 2 weeks. Upon doing research, it seems that this is an extremely common problem for the Hyundai Ioniq. the federal safety agency has the ICCU failure rate as 1% but per my dealership, in their experience, it is 6-7%, which is appallingly high. I am very surprised and disappointed to see that there has been no recall ordered for this part.
While driving on highway, there’s loud pop came from rear area and then the “check electrical vehicle system” warning light came on. The car wasn’t able in turtle mode.
Had car in for regular service. No problems reported by service department. Immediately after leaving the dealer, less than 1 mile away, a warning message came up on the screen that the car "may have experienced a charging/electrical event, and to contact my dealer immediately of service. Risk of system failure. I immediately returned to the dealer, and they did a quick diagnostic check, which revealed DTC code P0AA600. This is the second similar incident with this car. On 1/10/25 this car had recall campaign 272 performed, which was supposed to fix this problem. On 8/22/25 the car would not start and had to be towed to the dealer. They replaced the 12v battery and claimed the battery was defective.
all suddenly car started to show : Check electric vehicle system" And slow down to 25 miles and eventually 10 miles. Make it not drivable. Looks like ICCU issues
While driving, I heard a loud pop in the rear passenger side and subsequently, the dashboard showed an error to "stop vehicle and check power supply". After driving about 15 minutes, another error showed on the dashboard "12V battery voltage low. Stop safely". After coming to a stop, the vehicle completely shut off and would not turn back on. A tow truck was called and my vehicle was towed to a Hyundai dealership. The vehicle is now at the service center at a Hyundai dealership. The dealership confirmed it was an ICCU failure. While there was not a crash or any injury, the known defect from Hyundai left my wife, my [XXX] daughter, and me, stranded 60 miles away from home, in the middle of the night. Luckily we were pulled over safely and not in the middle of the highway. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
The vehicle is less than 1 years old. Had 91% charge left. Turned in the car as usual. Turned in heated seats and heated steering wheel as the outside temp was 34 degrees. A pop noise occurred and my entire dashboard flashed like a Christmas tree saying electrical system failure. Pull over safety. The cars speed was reduced to 20 mph. This was extremely scary as this happened on a main road where the speed limit was 55. The ICCU failed according to the dealer. This has been a common issue among Ioniq5 cars and the manufacturer has failed to fixed this issue. This car presents a high failure rate of the ICCU computer that controls the entire car. Once this chip fails, the car can not be driven and it must be towed back to the dealership. This is not a one off. Hyundai also quietly remove the remote start feature to activate the heated seats. They must know that turning on the heated seats might trigger an overload causing possible risk of iccu failure.
The ICCU failed while driving. A loud pop occured then a red warning light came up asking you to stop the vehicle and check the power supply. The car went into turtle mode where I could at best drive 25 miles per hour. This car was part of a recall last year to prevent this issue, however only a software fix was performed. Luckly I was able to get the car home on a very cold day.
The ICCU on my car failed after hearing a loud pop (fuse blown) while driving on the freeway. This was an incredibly dangerous scenario in which I went from 70 mph to 25 mph, in an area with no shoulder. Hyundai is aware of the issues with the ICCU and I believe they should expand the recall to include EVERY Hyundai Ioniq 5 and 6. Interestingly, the technician at the dealership states in the summary of service that my car is subject to the recall due to the fault code (P1A9096). Why did I have to experience this failure to be subject to recall? My car should be subject to the recall/service based on VIN, but according to [XXX] it is not. Also at issue is the time it took to Hyundai's tech line to work with my dealership, and the time they are suggesting to provide replacement parts. My car was delivered via tow truck to the dealership at 11:16 AM on 12/11/2025 and I got the message regarding the diagnosis and solution to my car's issue on 12/19/2025 at 10:01 AM. It should not take 8 days to diagnose this issue, nor should it take 2 weeks for parts that are a known issue for Hyundai.

On Monday Dec 15 I was on the Coranado bridge in San Diego heading on the island. A warning flashed about the electric system. Then, towards the end of the bridge, the car immediately slowed down suddenly and I could feel the regenerative breaking. I had to time or opportunity to get over. By the grace of God, traffic started to slow as we got near the end of the bridge and the car was able to go roughly 20 MPH on the side roads with my foot all the way down on the accelerator pedal. With my hazard lights on, I was able to drive closer to where I was meeting my wife and find a parking lot to turn into so a tow truck could get me. It was terrifying. I’m alive by some miracle and I’m very lucky I was meeting my family and they weren’t with me.
The contact owns a 2024 Hyundai Ioniq 5. The contact stated that the message "Check Electric Vehicle System" and DTC: P0C7300 - System Motor Control Problem Detected had been displayed intermittently on the instrument panel. The contact stated that the DTC notification was persistently displayed on the Hyundai Blue link Mobile App. The vehicle was taken to the dealer several times, but the contact was informed that the failure could not be duplicated because the messages and the DTC were no longer displayed. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, and the contact was informed that she would receive a call back within 2-3 days. The failure mileage was approximately 3,000.
While accelerating onto a road with cars approaching from behind, vehicle entered limp mode and was restricted to 25 MPH. I was forced to leave the roadway to avoid a collision with the vehicle behind. The street this occurred on has a speed limit of 40 MPH. The vehicle's normal acceleration was sufficient to ensure a safe gap to the approaching car, but the time it took to recognize and react to the unexpected behavior reduced this gap. The dealer diagnosed this as an ICCU failure related to safety recall 272. All prior recalls were complete at the time of the incident.
The ICCU failed while driving which left me with an undriveable vehicle on the side of the road. The vehicle was towed to the dealership and repaired; however, the part is the same and may fail again.
