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.

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.

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.

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.
- Anthem, AZ, USA
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!!!!!!
- Whitmore Lake, MI, USA
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.

The vehicle show an error message relating to the electrical system, refused to go over 24 mph for a short time, then went completely dark with no control and wheel locked. Dealer says ICCU + fuse is at fault, but there is no date for a new part. Vehicle is undriveable until new part comes in.
- Portland, OR, USA
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
- Anaheim, CA, USA
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.
- Berwyn, PA, USA
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.
- Syracuse, UT, USA
Car died in a Wegmans parking lot and dealer is telling me it will take 8-10 days to diagnose the problem which is known very well to the manufacturer and dealers. The ICCU has failed.

The 12 volt battery keeps failing. Every time I contact Hyundai AutoNation it takes forever for them to do anything about it and they don't seem to understand
- Arlington Heights, IL, USA
The car suddenly showed a warning on the screen asking me to park and in a few seconds went completely dead. It won't start at all. I can't even unlock the car. I had to call roadside assistance and have them tow the car to Ideal Hyundai dealership in Frederick, MD. It's been 4 days and the dealership can't diagnose the problem or won't communicate what the issue is.

I charge my vehicle using a home 48 amp charger. After about 10 months of ownership. I began to receive -??charging unsuccessful-??notifications after about ten of charging at the Maximum charging speed. I reduced the charging rate to Reduced and was able to charge continuously to 90% a couple times at that rate. However, I began to receive -??charging unsuccessful-?? notifications at this rate as well and had to lower the charging rate to Minimum in order to charge continuously. I can not charge the vehicle at 48 amps and the vehicle can only charge at 5.7 kwh, rather than the expected 11.5 kwh. The vehicle has been repaired four times. I cannot take the car on long trips, or for intensive use, where I would need to quickly charge to car in order to continue using it. As this issue appears to be progressive, when will the car fail to charge at even the Minimum rate" When I am on the road at a remote charging station? When I have an emergency and need to use it"

We had charged the Ionique 5 to 90% and driven for short trips. We parked it then went to do some errands about an hour later. The dashboard warned that the 12 V battery was almost completely discharged and that I should start the car by placing the key fob next to the start button. I did that but it didn't start. I pushed the off button and then tried again and it refused to start and the dashboard flashed somewhat erratically. The battery then went completely dead. We called the emergency roadside assistance and they came within 30 minutes but the person who arrived said he knew nothing about electric cars and so we asked him to leave. Later we searched the internet and found others have had the 12 V batteries discharge. We also learned it could be charged with a portable charger. We called the dealer as it was now Sunday. One of the salesforce managers reassured us that is was OK to use regular car chargers on the Ionique 12 volt battery. Our neighbor helped us do this and it then started working. We followed the internet (a blogger's) instructions to go to the utility site and put it in the mode that would make sure the 12 Volt battery was drawing on the main powertrain to completely charge. We left the car on for 30 minutes and then it seemed to be working normally. We did some errands and it continued to work well. The safety risk is if this had happened on the highway and away from home. The car was recently taken in for the scheduled recall of ? something before this happened. There were no warnings or symptoms prior to this incident. There was several months ago an episode when I was driving that the power seemed to decrease and I was unable to accelerate and drove about 2 miles on mostly city streets at about 20 miles per hour. After I shut the car off and then my husband tried to start it the next day, it worked fine--that was the only other incident. I did not report that and it did not recur.

The vehicle lost traction power, failed to respond to presses to the accelerator and coasted to a stop. It gave no indication on the dash that there were any problems. Putting the car in park and then selecting drive again restored traction power and the car responded to pressing of the accelerator pedal. The car was not turned off and back on. During the incident: - The brakes, steering, air conditioning, radio and other electrical equipment continued to operate normally. - The car was configured for "Level 2" regen braking, but during the incident, when all pressure was removed from the accelerator pedal, the car did not "feel" like it slowed as normally did during Level 2 regen when there is no application of the accelerator. - The car was configured for "ECO" mode. The drive mode was switched to Normal and Sport during the incident but it had no effect. - The Power/Charge gauge on the dash neither indicated Power when the accelerator was pressed nor indicated Charge when coasting (as would be expected for Level 2 regen) or when the brake pedal was pressed. Car Information: - The car had about 75% charge and reported about ~260 miles of range. - The manufacturers app has not reported any "DTC" codes. - The car has no open recalls at this time. - Service Campaign 997 was completed August 23rd at dealer. - Service Campaign 9A1 was completed August 23rd at dealer. Additional Information: - A previous event similar to the above described event happened on August 21st where the vehicle lost traction power but gave no indication that anything was wrong. - Reported it to the dealer, but they were unable to find anything wrong or recreate the problem. - They applied the ICCU software update.

After a recent update at my dealer my vehicle is no longer charging at advertised time. It now takes 2 to 3 days to reach full charge from 70 percent.
