What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request" The ICCU failed. The car won't charge on a level 1, 2, or 3 charger. The failure happened in the middle of a charging session. Since failing when trying to charge the car says "charging unsuccessful". The dealer has had the car for 28 days and won't tell me when it will be fixed. How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? Yes. My family. Thankfully the failure happened in our garage. If it had of happened when we were away from home we would have been left stranded unable to charge. Also, if the ICCU fails while driving the car loses all power and comes to a stop. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? Yes. It has been at the dealer for 28 days Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? It has been inspected by the dealer Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear" No, there were no warnings prior. All ICCU related recalls had been performed.

When charging the car on level 2 charger at 40 amps, the connector where the charger plugs in overheats. Based on updated software the car reacts by turning off the charging, but I am concerned it may not always do that and the connector would overheat and fail. Also the car is not fully charged as it should be. This occurs perhaps 1 out of 2 or 3 charging sessions. Hyundai is aware of this but has chosen not to address the issue beyond shutting off charging, which is not an acceptable response. The local dealer appears to be unaware of the problem. They indicated I would have to pay for them to inspect it and only be reimbursed if the issue is under warranty

This has happened twice so far. I was driving down the street on the main road and the check evs error came on with a yellow triangle -??? light came on. Suddenly the car slowed down, it was hard to steer but I was able to get it to a neighborhood near the school before it shut down. It scare me to know what would have happened if that was on a freeway. Now, because of the fear I hardly drive the car. The last time this happened was yesterday.

When you place the car in park a recall was done so that the emergency parking brake automatically engages. Well between 30 seconds to a minute after the car is in park, the brake disengage. When you go to set it manually after it disengage, it will still disengage.

On March 29, 2024 I parked my Ioniq 5 with the EV battery at ~65%. 3 hours later I received an alert that there was something wrong with the battery. Investigating the car, the auxiliary functions of the car would turn on. However, the dashboard reported the EV battery was at 0%. The power train of the car would not turn on and it would not drive. A tow truck was needed to take it to a local dealership.

I was driving 75mph on the freeway and 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. There was a warning of low battery and the vehicle was going to lose power. I turned on my hazard lights and was able to get to the exit and was able to exit the freeway safely. Once the vehicle lost power I was unable to open the charger door, start the vehicle, use any of the key fob functions and had to jump the 12V battery, only to die immediately after. There is no pre-warning to this happening, it just shows the alert and the car loses all power. There are also problems with the vehicle after being plugged in to charge and it says "Charging Unsuccessful", or stops charging after a short period of time. It also will not charge to full capacity at home or the charging station. I receive no warning lights or messages about why the charge is not working. It took weeks to get the vehicle into the dealer, making it extremely unsafe to drive and the error has almost caused a major crash. My vehicle has been at the dealer and has not been diagnosed with any issues yet. The dealer has provided me with a rental vehicle...in which now I'm paying for gas. Reading through these other comments...who knows how long it will be to get my vehicle back, yet I'm still making my payments...this isn't

I was charging my car at home like I usually do and around 2am I received an alert on my Bluelink app that a charging alarm was detected. I saw that the breaker for my charger had tripped which it had never done before. I reset the breaker and tried to restart charging but was not successful. I turned on the car and immediately got the battery and EV warning lights telling me to stop the vehicle.

I turned on the car and immediately got the battery and EV warning lights telling me to stop the vehicle. I had the vehicle towed to my local dealer and they determined it was the ICCU issue that has affected many Ioniq 5s. I had the software update done that was part of campaign [XXX] but it obviously didn-??t work. It took a week to get a new ICCU fuse in and they also updated the software again in accordance with recall [XXX]. I am leery about another software fix solving this problem for good.

My 2022 Ioniq 5 RWD died in my driveway in late February after first showing a "Check Electric Vehicle System" warning and limiting the vehicle's speed to 22mph while returning home from a short errand. I was initially able to at least turn the vehicle on, but the vehicle was completely non-responsive within two hours of returning home. If we had been traveling on the highway and/or far from home, we would have been in potential danger due to the low maximum speed and could have been stranded with a non-functioning vehicle due to the complete loss of power shortly after the initial incident. I ended up needing to have the vehicle towed to a dealership roughly 25 miles from my home. I was able to obtain a DTC before the vehicle died: (P1A90(96) [0x1A9096] Status: Test failed, Test failed (current drive cycle), Pending, Confirmed, Test failed since last DTC clear, Warning indicator requested). Since other Ioniq 5 owners have reported a similar problem, I suspected the problem to be a failed ICCU, and the dealership that is repairing the vehicle subsequently confirmed ICCU failure to be the problem. For reference, I had the ICCU software update installed in November of 2023.

I have a Hyundai Ioniq 5. I purchased it in July 2022 and have been driving it with no major issues except for a couple recall updates. On Monday, [XXX] I was driving home on the Highway when a warning light came on telling me to check EV Connection, it was an orange message. Then the light and message switched to red and displayed a battery symbol. The message said to stop vehicle and check power supply. My acceleration slowed down and I couldn't go above 25 mph despite attempts to speed up. There were many cars on the road when this happened, and I automatically turned on my emergency blinkers. There was a large 16-wheeler behind me that noted something was wrong and slowed down with his emergency lights blinking as well to support me. I panicked and found the nearest exit to come off the highway and before I could make it to the traffic light, the car shut off unexpectedly and completely stopped with no warning. Attempts to restart the vehicle did not yield positive results. After 2 hours of waiting for a tow truck in the middle of the road blocking traffic and waving people around my car, I was able to tow my vehicle to a dealership in NJ close by my house. As it was evening time, I left it at the dealership service center and dropped keys in drop box. I spent several days on the phone with Hyundai Service Center arguing to get my car checked as they told me that appointments were all booked, despite this being an emergency. I had no idea what was happening, but it was clearly inoperable, and I made that very clear. Finally, today, Thursday, [XXX] they confirmed that diagnostic testing showed ICCU failure. They advised that the part is on back-order, and they issued me a loaner for the time being. I have no idea how long this will take to fix. Luckily, I didn't have an accident, although very well could have with how quickly the issue escalated. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

On 2/24/2024 I was driving my Hyundai Ioniq 5 and heard a pop from the backseat area. Immediately I lost power and was unable to move the car out of the lane of travel or put on my hazard lights. Prior to the pop sound there were no issues that would indicate something was wrong. The dealership confirmed my suspension that the ICCU failed. My car had the software update for the ICCU months prior to this incident. The dealer repaired the car under warranty so no one besides the dealer has seen the failed part.

Even though I had this recall for ICCU handled several months ago it didn't correct a problem, and on 02/07/2024 while driving 50 mph, a sudden pop occurred and the vehicle lost power and acceleration. I was able to pull over and shortly after 15 min, the vehicle died completely. After towing to the dealer, a few weeks later they told me that it was ICCU again and that the part needed to be changed. At this time they have no ETA for when the part will come!

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.
