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.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
This model has known issue. As I found after it occurred to my brand new IONIQ 5 . It has only 320mi. It had 87% battery and all of sudden it stop on road. No power on dashboard. After taking to service station they found “ "Inspected and found code P1A9096- DC/ DC converter input voltage sensor fail. Referenced campaign 997 for concern. With code present, per TSB, replace ICCU and fuse." This same issue I noticed in 2022 after reading forum. After putting my car in service station still I don’t have my car. It’s almost 17 days. If this car had recall I could have saved my time and unnecessary effort. Plus thank god it was local city read( school zone) if I was in highway and same thing happen to me it might be life threatening situations.

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!!!!!!

VISIBILITY, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
The contact owns a 2022 Hyundai Ioniq 5. The contact stated while driving in rain or snow the rear windshield failed to be cleaned. The contact stated that the failure was a dangerous while driving at night while the headlights from vehicles behind caused the rear windshield to become opaque. The contact questioned a dealer and was informed that the vehicle was designed that way and that the windshield needed to be cleaned manually. Additionally, the contact stated that the vehicle lost electrical power while driving at approximately 60 MPH with the cruise control activated. The contact stated that the vehicle lost motive power with several unknown warning lights illuminated. The contact pulled over, stopped, restarted the vehicle, and the vehicle functioned as needed. The contact stated that the failure recurred once. The manufacturer was informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 22,000.

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: WARNINGS
The following is an incident that happened yesterday to my wife, who is an experienced driver: Whilst driving south on I5 from Seatac toward Tacoma in heavy rain with surface spray the screen above the steering wheel mentioned collision avoidance was not working and radar was not working. When I applied the brakes to slow down no response from the brakes. I then let off the brake and tried several times to apply the brakes each time with no success. I still had full control of the steering and could still steer the car. This lasted for about 30s then the brakes started working again. The error messages regarding collision avoidance and radar not working would continue to pop up even after the brakes were working. After stopping the car and turning it off and restarting several hours later the car no longer displayed any error messages. No vehicle or passenger were hurt in this incident, however if the traffic had slowed or stopped this outcome could have been very different.

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

The car started reporting error messages including "Stop vehicle and check power supply". It briefly went into limp mode before dying completely. Flat bed to dealer who can't begin diagnosis for at least a week. This sounds identical to the ICCU issue that many owners are experiencing.

POWER TRAIN
The car does not switch from Reverse to Drive under certain conditions, resulting in uncommanded reverse motion. Gear selection on the Ioniq 5 is controlled by a twisting knob at the end of a stalk on the steering column. Drive is selected by turning upwards, Reverse by turning downwards. The moving part springs back into the neutral position once a gear is selected. Occasionally the car does not switch from Reverse to Drive. This is extremely dangerous as the vehicle shoots backwards when the driver is expecting it to move forward. A driver will likely press the accelerator more firmly after having physically moved the gear selector to Drive and expecting the vehicle to move forward. Since this happens after backing up, it is likely that obstacles or persons are behind the car when this happens, and absent a very fast reaction by the driver this will result in accidents and injuries. The issue is triggered when the car is not at a complete standstill when Drive is selected. Even barely noticeable residual backward motion triggers it. There is no haptic feedback to alert the driver that the car ignored the driver input. As drivers are expected to pay attention to their surroundings when maneuvering, visual feedback (via the gear indicator on the stalk and possibly a dashboard notification) is not useful. There is a small auditory cue, but it is easily missed when in a conversation or listening to music, especially because the car frequently dings, pings, and beeps for other reasons. Not to mention, hearing-impaired drivers will also miss this. The driver should not be able to physically move the gear selector into the Drive position when the car is not accepting that input - the twisty bit should be locked out to prevent this. Or at the very least, if a crucial driver input is discarded, the car should instead default to a safe behavior, i.e. put the car in Neutral instead of Reverse.

My 12v battery died on 11/12 while my main battery still had 52% charge remaining. Had to jump the battery to get the electrical system to work. Since then several of the cars electrical systems are not working. This is a known issue online that Hyundai has responded to but the dealer is saying that they are not aware.
