Vehicle suspension in the rear feels unsettled when coming to a stop using regenerative brakes. If you hit a small pothole or recessed manhole cover the rear of the vehicle feels like the rear suspension is jumping. I've taken it to the dealer and they noticed it and also it occurred on a new ioniq 5 they had on the lot also.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
We have owned an Ionic 5 for a year. For 8 months the level 2 charging system worked fine. We have two 40 amp level 2 chargers at two different locations which both charge the car at between 9.0 and 9.2 kW, well below the Ionic 5’s advertised capacity of 10.6 kW. After 8 months the charging session began to fail after only 1.5 hours due to the charge port overheating. Initially this seemed to be related to the ambient temperature, but now the failure occurs even when the ambient temperature is below 70. Once the session fails, the charging system keeps cycling between starting and failing, with each cycle lasting only a couple of minuets. Therefore it is very difficult to charge the car to even an 80% capacity. I am also worried about the impact this constant cycling is having on the battery overheating as well as the life of the battery.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
In the 1.5 years since I bought the 2022 Hyundai Ioniq 5 (new vehicle) there have been three instances where the car has failed to turn on or off due to rapid discharge of the 12 V battery. In all three occasions, the main battery was fully charged; however, the 12V discharged rapidly. The first two times this happened it took about 20 to 30 minutes of waiting for the main battery to charge the 12V battery before the car would start; however, on the most recent occasion, I had to call a tow truck in order to get the car jump started. I am very concerned about the safety of myself and my young children as I regularly use this car to go to work and take my kids to school. The only warning sign was a yellow light on the dashboard of the car—the indication that the main battery is charging the 12 V battery (this was happening more frequently leading up to the 3 instances, which tells me that the 12V battery needed charge, but was being insufficiently charged by the main battery). Because of the poor 12V battery, I avoid using functions that could deteriorate the 12V battery, such as air conditioning, and the GPS system. Hyundai recently sent a letter/safety notice about a faulty ICCU and fuse, and I will be taking the car in soon to get this repaired, but the repeated discharges of the 12V battery in the last 1.5 years has deteriorated the 12V battery enough that Hyundai should be proactively replacing it (not just the ICCU and fuse).

The vehicle will not fully charge at home at night on a level 2 EVSE. It charges for a few minutes, than stops entirely. When I restart the process, the same issue remains. I cannot charge the car fully at Level 2, 40amps. I wake up in the morning and only 5% of charge has been added.

When my car is plugged in to charge it keeps stopping the charge. Example: Starts at 24% and stops at 28% I restart charge and it stops at 47%. Each time the charging port on the car is hot. This has happened multiple times. I now have to set reminders on my phone to check that my car is still charging so I can get to work in the morning. I am at the dealer now and they say there is nothing they can do because they have not been notified that it is an issue Thank you for your attention to this matter

While driving at highway speeds, there was a loud pop and the display showed "reduce power mode". We had to improvise a stopping place despite being far from home. There was no warning or issues beforehand. This incident was risky because of the loss of power while on a high speed thoroughfare and limited stopping options. The vehicle required a jump to move onto tow truck to take to dealership, where it has remained for two weeks without an estimate for repair. The symptoms.seem consistent with ICCU failure.

Driving on the highway, my car will suddenly lose power momentarily and the speed drop 3-5 mph. My accelerator is unresponsive. Then the car will accelerate quickly with a jerk to accelerate to the set speed. May occur on level ground but often occurs at the bottom of a hill. I have no control during this loss of power.

While driving on the highway on 8/12 at around 4pm, with another passenger, doing approximately 65 MPH I received a "Check Electric Vehicle System" warning on my dashboard. The car showed no prior warnings, no other lights were on. MyHyundai app was also showing no diagnostic issues with the car. The car battery was showing a 77% charge at the time. I swerved on to the shoulder, putting myself in danger as this is a really busy highway. I checked the car and could not find anything wrong. Hyundai had not contacted me regarding any recalls. I decided to keep driving to see if I could make it home to diagnose the issue. I made it another 20 minutes and as I was about to exit the highway at around 60MPH the car completely slowed down to 20MPH suddenly, and I was forced to swerve onto the shoulder once again. The car would not accelerate past 20 MPH. Fearing an accident, I called a tow truck and had the car towed back to my house. There were no warnings lights/signs prior to this event. The car completely slowed down from 60-65MPH to 20MPH in the middle of the highway and I was forced to make an emergency stop putting myself and my passenger at risk. The car was brought to the dealership on 8/14 which is the first time I was alerted that there had been a recall on my car and that the ICCU would need replacement. At no point did Hyundai ever contact me via email, text, call, or mail alerting me there was a recall prior to this scary experience. This is gross negligence on the part of Hyundai, as my vehicle could have been rear ended and caused a major accident on the highway.

While driving on the highway, after about 45 minutes, the electric vehicle goes into Turtle power-limited mode. The vehicle instantly reduces in speed from 70mph to as low as 35 - 45 mph. There are no warning lights or sounds. If you immediately stop the car and let it sit, it will work again temporarily but after 30 - 40 more min or less of driving, it will again go into turtle mode. Additionally, acceleration is non-existent when its power is limited, inhibiting the ability to safely drive as required to pull over or across intersections. This has been a constant event occurring multiple times and each time the vehicle has been on a freeway or highway. The dealer applied the repairs in the photo supplied, but they did not work.

I took possession of my vehicle 1/12/23 and charged it successfully in my garage with my level 2 charger at 48A per Hyundai's specifications until May 19, 2023. Charging aborted prematurely on that date due to overheating of the charging port. Starting May 20, 2023 I lowered the charging rate in my level 2 charger to 40A despite Hyundai's stated specifications that 48A was supported. I also started tracking my charging with an OBD2 scanner and noted the AC Inlet 1 port temperatures. From 6/26/23 to 7/25/23 as summer temperatures in my garage here in NJ from 75 to 84, peak port temperatures reached 226 to 237 degrees but charging completed. On 7/28/23 with a garage temperature of 86, port temperature reached 239 and charging aborted again. I then had to lower the charging rate to 36A. This is lengthening my charging times and is not consistent with Hyundai specifications when I purchased the car. I am concerned I will have to continue lowering the charging rate to continue operating the vehicle. These high temperatures may also be dangerous. Hyundai so far has merely issued a Technical Service Bulletin 23-EV-003H that does not fix or replace the inadequate part(s), it merely slows down charging inconsistent with their specifications. This is not acceptable and as a safety issue NHTSA should require Hyundai to recall and replace the insufficiently performing part(s). My car is available for inspection. This overheating and lengthening charging time is a safety issue. The vehicle has not been inspected by the manufacturer or local dealer. There were no warnings of these occurrences. Charging simply halts when it exceeds 237 degrees Fahrenheit for my 2023 model.

Vehicle suddenly had no power on the highway. Error messages said to check the power supply. Prior to this there were error messages to stop the vehicle and check the power supply. Car would not drive more than 20mph. Car then died on the highway without any power when attempting to drive to the dealer. Problem was reproduced and confirmed by the dealer to be a faulty ICCU.

Level 2 Charging intermittently shuts off or is throttled back to very low charging rates. THis results in car not being charged enough to be used. Hyundai advertises charging rates of 10 KW, but charging is either throttled back to 5 KG or shut when charging at 48 AMps. . Hyundai claims to know of this problem where some internal components of car overheat.

The car will only charge at half of the advertised Level 2 AC charging rate. It advertises it can charge at 48 amps; however, we cannot charge above 24 amps. If we charge above that rate the charging will stop. The issue appears to be well documented in online forums where if the charging port reaches about 100 Degrees C it will fault. There is a TSB they are installing but it just makes it automatically derate to ~24 amps which other than providing 15 minutes of higher power it doesn't at all solve the situation. Hyundai has recently stated that they are aware of the issue and they expect people to live with it and re-adjust their expectations; but it is fair to expect the car to perform as advertised. I also don't think any caveats about charging speed for weather or state of charge would be specific to level 3 charging; I am not aware of another EV in existence that doesn't provide its advertised AC charging level. It pretty clearly appears to be defective hardware. We also have friends who bought their car a month later (July 2023) and they are having the same issue; albeit they can still charge at 32amps. To answer the questions directly. - Charge Port - The cars cannot charge in time advertised making people drive without buffers and could run out of power on trips because they can only charge at half the rate advertised and couldn't charge overnight. - We are getting the TSB that will automatically reduce the charging rate this week. we had to wait over a month for an appointment. - It has not been inspected yet but all they are going to do per the TSB is if we say we have the problem they do the software update. - There are no customer facing error codes. The issue first started in March the first day it was over 70 degrees. We did not have an issue last summer or over the winter. The longest we can charge since then at 40 amps is about 15 minutes. We have never even charged the car at 48 amps which is what it is supposed to be able to do.

Our car repeatedly fails to complete charging using Level 2 chargers at 48-amps. The car sends an overheating error, stops charging and then starts charging again later (presumably after it has cooled down). Sometimes is fails to restart charging completely. This makes it impossible to get a fast, reliable Level 2 charge in a timely manner. We get a text to our cell phones alerting us that charging has stopped due to overheating. We have notified our dealer and they are offering a software patch from Hyundai that simply slows the charge amperage to 28-amps when an overheating error occurs rather than offering a hardware solution that allows for full 48-amp Level 2 charging as the car is supposed to be capable of.
