ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
I was driving on the freeway on Jan 17 when I heard a pop and then the electrical warning system on the car lit up. I lost power to the car and was only able to accelerate minimally. I turned on my hazard lights and was able to get to the shoulder of the freeway and fortunately was close to an exit and was able to exit the freeway. It was towed to a dealership and I was told there was a problem with the ICCU.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Aloha, Our Hyundai Ioniq5 has been out of commission for almost 5 months due to a failure associated with the ICCU recall. In December after months of working with Hyundai they finally shipped the car to an EV certified dealer to complete the recall and fix the ICCU issue. When we got the vehicle home it still shows electrical warning lights and will not charge at home. The recall fix didn't work and it still has the ICCU issue. The ICCU apparently can cause greater safety issues with the EV system when on the road. Its important the the recall fix actually works and in our case it did not. We have now been without the car for 5 months. We've had 5 different claim managers from Hyundai USA and we are still waiting on a fix. We are only filing a complaint because this could be a known reoccurring issue for other early Ioniq5 owners.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
I started the car, and saw a "Check Electric Vehicle system" alert on the dashboard, and began driving. I was not far from my home, when I saw several messages saying "Stop Vehicle and Check Power Supply" - and the car began slowing and becoming unresponsive while I was in traffic. With my wife and infant son in the car, and being less than I mile from my home I was able to proceed cautiously and make it there. This is likely a known flaw in the integrated charge control unit of this model, which was subject to a voluntary service bulletin put out by Hyundai. I took care of the recommended service and firmware update in September 2023, but it did not prevent this electrical system failure - the service bulletin should have advised replacement instead of putting my family in danger without any warning.

It's now January 2024, 7,300 miles and the vehicle is currently at the dealership. The dealership confirmed it needs ICCU and Fuse replacement. Waiting for update on timeframe for ICCU part to become available. The car was showing "Check electric vehicle system" on the dashboard. It would not charge with Level 2 home charger.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
On Dec. 29, 2023, while drively slowly in a parking lot, we heard a loud "pop" from the rear of our 2022 Hyundai Ioniq 5 (approx. mileage 15,800). Then an amber colored dash warning came up saying "Check electrical system." Very soon thereafter, there was an audible warning alarm and a flashing red dashboard warning "Stop vehicle and inspect charging system" along with a red battery outline symbol. Almost immediately our top speed was reduced to around 20mph or so. We stopped in a safe place and had the vehicle towed to the closed Hyundai dealer (Zimbrick Hyundai West, Madison, WI). The dealer subsequently confirmed a failure of the Integrated Charging Control Unit (ICCU). The ICCU is expected to be replaced by Fri. Jan. 12.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: WARNINGS
The cruise will shut off randomly saying the radar is blocked. When it does this the car decelerates very fast. Which is very dangerous in traffic. I’ve almost been rear ended a few times. It has also just started decelerating very fast when in cruise on highway for no apparent reason with no one in front of me.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
My car suffered an ICCU and high-voltage fuse failure despite having been previously inspected as part of Service Campaign 997, which found no reason to replace the parts. After 24,700 miles and 16 months of service, the parts failed. This was only 4 months after the service campaign was completed. Similar to others who have reported ICCU failures, I suffered a rapid loss of power on the road, and within minutes, a complete loss of motive power. I received a “check EV system” and “reduced power” warning, followed very quickly by “check power supply, pull over immediately.” While I was able to pull to the roadside, this easily may not have been the case, causing significant danger. The dealer confirmed the issue and eventually replaced the parts. A loss of motive power within minutes or seconds is potentially life-threatening. Hyundai’s proposed fix for the issue — inspection and perhaps software update — is clearly inadequate to address the problem, since my vehicle failed after the service campaign had already been performed.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE:SOFTWARE:PEDESTRIAN/CYCLIST/OBJECT/OBSTACLE/ RECOGNITION
The contact owns a 2022 Hyundai Ioniq 5. The contact stated that the pedestrian warning system was inoperable while reversing. Additionally, the contact stated that the battery was 92 percent charged; however, while driving 30-40 MPH, the message "Electric Power Failure" was displayed. The contact turned off the heater and the radio and continued driving. The contact stated that while parking the vehicle, the message "Electric Power Failure - Stop Immediately" was displayed and several alarms sounded. The contact notified the dealer and was informed to drive the vehicle to the residence and the vehicle would be picked up. The contact stated that while driving to the residence, the failure recurred, and the vehicle failed to respond upon depressing the accelerator pedal while driving uphill. The contact became aware that the vehicle had lost electrical power. The contact was able to veer to the side of the road. The vehicle was towed to the dealer, where it was diagnosed that the integrated charging control unit (ICCU) needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 9,600.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
The vehicle was being driven normally on city street and I heard a thump in the rear end of the vehicle. Very soon after, got a message on screen to check electrical charging system with the indicator lights for 12 volt battery and EV system illuminating. Parked the vehicle a kilometer after thump to deliver something to a friend (the car sat for 10 minutes). Resumed driving and then within a kilometer received a message that drive power would be limited -- significant decline in drive power... put my flashers on but did not stop because on busy street with no parking ... within two blocks, message of "stop vehicle and check power supply" appeared with full drive power ending within one block -- within that block, I was able to turn down a side street and coast down a hill to a parking lot. Attempting to turn vehicle off, the screen showed erratic behavior and headlights went on and off. Finally, was able to get everything off but was not able to lock the vehicle. If this drastic loss of power had occurred on a highway, there is a likelihood that such a power failure would have led to an accident.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Known level 2 charging issue with Hyundai Ioniq 5 vehicles. Overheating issue with charging system, previously the issue shut down charging with a temperature exceeded ~212 Fahrenheit. TSB issued that "throttles" down charging rate, irrespective of the brand of level 2 charger doubling the time to charge the vehicle. Not as advertised and significantly reducing the utility of the vehicle.

Feared ICCU leaving us stranded after reading so many reported failures, took car to dealership where they inspected and did some ineffective software update, few weeks later experience EV warning light and sudden loss of power, car wont go more than 25 so we parked and were effectively stranded. Dealer suspects ICCU....great. exactly what we wasted time trying to prevent. A KNOWN PREDICATABLE PROBLEM IS CALLED A DEFECT!!!!!!

The car gave an warnings of “Check Electric Vehicle System@ and started slowing down in the middleman of the road. I could have been easily rear ended or got into a serious injury. After googling, it seems almost all if not most of ioniq 5 are having this issue after certain mileage
