The ICCU system's fuse failed.The car is currently with the dealership for repairs and could be available for inspection there if needed. The car was rendered inoperable and shut down while operating the vehicle. The abrupt breakdown could have been a hazard to the driver, passengers of the vehicle, and other drivers on the road. The issue was confirmed by the dealership's service technician. The vehicle has only been inspected by the dealership's service department at the time of writing. There was a warning just before the system/car shut down while driving. The warning sounded and said to "Stop vehicle and check power supply." This was the only time the warning appeared.
2025 Hyundai Ioniq 5 acceleration complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 16 of 16, newest first, as owners wrote them.
I was at the grocery store and when I returned to my car and started it, I had an error message on the dashboard regarding the vehicle battery. When I put it into reverse, I heard a loud pop and received another error message. The car would only drive at 25 mph after that. I tried to drive home but the car died after a few miles and I was stranded at the side of the road. It was towed to a dealership and I have been told that it is an ICCU failure. At this point, I have been waiting 3 weeks for it to be fixed.
Vehicle unexpectedly entered reduced-power mode while driving. Speed was limited to approximately 25 mph and vehicle displayed “STOP VEHICLE AND CHECK BATTERY” warning along with master warning light and battery warning. MyHyundai system logged an active air flap fault. Vehicle was not drivable and required flatbed tow to dealer. This created a traffic safety risk due to sudden loss of power and inability to maintain safe speed.
Driving a loud bang was heard from the back of the car. Stopped to check, no obvious physical issue. A warning light came on, it was described as an issue with the air flap. Started driving again, it worked for a few 1000 feet. The car went into a limp mode while an arterial road, in the dark, slowing to not more than 20 mph on a 45 mph road putting driver and child passenger as well as other vehicles at risk. Had to limp until a driveway was found about 3/4 mile later. We got DTC P1A9096 code. The dealer confirm this was an ICCU issue and the related fuse was blown.
1. Component/System: One-pedal driving / regenerative braking (i-Pedal mode). Vehicle is available for inspecti On three separate occasions since leasing the vehicle in April, 2025, the vehicle failed to decelerate when i-Pedal mode was active and I fully released the accelerator pedal. Instead of slowing immediately as expected, the car continued maintaining speed for a few seconds before eventually reducing speed. In all instances, the accelerator pedal returned fully to its default position, and my foot was completely off the pedal. My foot was hovering over the brake and prepared to brake manually. This unexpected continued acceleration created a safety risk, particularly in situations where I anticipated immediate slowing. Safety Risk: This behavior increases the risk of rear-end collisions or reduced reaction time in traffic. It causes uncertainty in vehicle response and requires sudden manual braking when the system fails to operate correctly. Inspection/Reproduction: The dealership has inspected the vehicle and has denied existence of any issues. Warning Lamps/Messages: No warning lamps or messages appeared before or during the events. ⸻ 2. Component/System: Blind spot monitoring / driver assistance sensors Since acquiring the vehicle, the blind spot monitoring system routinely activates warnings when vehicles are more than one lane away, not in the adjacent lane. This results in frequent false warnings, especially on multi-lane highways. Safety Risk: The false alerts cause distraction and hesitation during lane changes. The system startles the driver and forces additional visual checks beyond normal safe driving practice, increasing cognitive load and reducing confidence in the system’s accuracy. Inspection/Reproduction: This behavior is frequent and occasionally reproducible. Warning Lamps/Messages: System behaves as if detecting vehicles in blind spot even when lanes are clear.
FORWARD ATTENTION WARNING When driving, the vehicle randomly and repeatedly warns the driver to pay attention to the road even when the driver is facing forward and paying attention to the road. The system will also randomly and repeatedly alarm, disable cruise control and apply the brakes even when the driver has both hands on the wheel and is facing forward. This has nearly caused crashes. Hyundai states the system is working as designed and suggested: 1. Driver is too tall for the system see my eyes. 2. Do not wear prescription glasses. 3. Do not wear sunglasses. Research has revealed hundreds and hundreds of similar complaints. Hyundai has issued a technical service bulletin 25-GI-001H stating there is nothing wrong with the vehicle and states drivers who are tall, short, wear glasses will experience this.
