Electrical system failure. Available for inspection upon request. While driving, warning appeared on dashboard. Warning said, "Stop Vehicle and Check Power Supply" The safety of vehicle occupants and others on the road was put at risk. I lost control of the vehicle in the middle of traffic due to the loss of electrical power. The problem has been confirmed by San Leandro Hyundai as part of the Safety Recall for the Integrated Charging Control Unit, Recall number 272. NHTSA Recall number 24V-868. The recall repair was completed but the ICCU was not replaced and is still defective. A few minutes prior to the eletrical failure a warning message appeared on the dashboard. The warning message said, "Stop Vehicle and Check Power Supply". First appeared on Saturday January 11th at 4PM (PT).

Hyundai of Fort Myers Repair Order Number [XXXX] Dear NHTSA Team, I am reaching out to formally report a significant safety concern involving our Hyundai Ioniq 5, which recently experienced an Integrated Charging Control Unit (ICCU) failure. This malfunction occurred despite our vehicle receiving all relevant software and hardware updates that Hyundai implemented to address this known issue. This experience has caused our family considerable distress and has raised serious doubts about the reliability of this model, as well as the adequacy of Hyundai-??s current safety measures to prevent ICCU failure. While my wife and young daughter were in the car, the ICCU failure occurred suddenly, producing a loud pop that alarmed us all, particularly my daughter who was seated in the rear. She has since expressed fear about riding in the Ioniq 5, making it clear that this issue has impacted her sense of security in the car. Despite the updates Hyundai has issued, the failure occurred without warning, putting us in a vulnerable situation and highlighting that the current remedies may be insufficient to prevent this risk. The gravity of this problem is amplified by my wife-??s critical health needs. She is currently on the waiting list for a kidney transplant, and our family requires a dependable vehicle to ensure she can be transported quickly and safely to her medical appointments and, when the time comes, to the hospital for her transplant. We cannot rely on the Ioniq 5 for these crucial needs given our recent experience with this unexpected breakdown. I am requesting that the NHTSA investigate this issue, as our experience suggests that Hyundai-??s current measures to address ICCU failure may not adequately safeguard Ioniq 5 owners. A comprehensive review of this problem could be critical in ensuring the safety of other drivers and families who may be unknowingly exposed to the risk of sudden vehicle malfunctions. We hope that the NHTSA will consider further action

Today when I was driving down a canyon going 40 mph, the car started coasting and the accelerator was unresponsive. I couldn't keep the car from decreasing speed and regen braking wasn't working either. I don't know whether it's related, but this happened within seconds of me turning off daylight savings time in the menu. I coasted to a safe place to pull over (the brakes worked fine), but I could not get the accelerator to work after switching from drive to park to drive again. After turning the car off and then back on, the accelerator again worked like normal. After continuing driving, I turned daylight savings time on and off a few times, but nothing adverse happened.

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

The ICCU broke and the associated fuse blew. The car would only go about 25 mph. It told me to stop driving. The car was taken to the dealer for ICCU and fuse replacement. It said check electric vehicle system, then stop vehicle and check power supply.

My vehicle was fully charged. About 1 mile after leaving my house, I received a warning message on my display (vehicle electrical system error or similar). Shortly after I received another message that power was reduced, then finally, "stop driving". I pulled into the nearest driveway and called roadside assistance. At that point, the vehicle was COMPLETELY dead. No lights or power whatsoever. I could not activate the car to shift into neutral. I had my vehicle towed to the dealership. They said it was due to a faulty ICCU and fuse. After about a week they were able to replace the ICCU, fuse and update the software.

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 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.

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.

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!!!!!!

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.

When starting the vehicle I received an error that said "Check Electric Vehicle System". The vehicle seemed to be working fine at slow speeds in the parking lot at work. When I exited onto a city street I realized I had lost normal acceleration and could not go above 25mph. I pulled into a parking lot and turned the car off and on to see if the error cleared. It did not. Also received an additional error stating " Stop vehicle and check power supply". At that point I called roadside assistance for a tow. The vehicle is now at my local Hyundai dealership. Their service dept has stated they will take a look at it in 7-10 days most likely.

Recently - my car has been encountering an issue and it has been slowly getting worse and worse. I have a 40 amp Level 2 charger I frequently use to charge my car. I first noticed it a few weeks ago, where my car seemingly stopped charging for no reason. I brushed it off, then unplugged it + plugged it back in and the rest of the session went fine. Lately, as temps have been rising I noticed the car failing charging sessions one, or two times per day. After doing some research, it turns out i-??m far from the only one having this issue. Many other others have been experiencing the same issue as I, and the same degradation. Some people who were initially able to charge their car at 11kw, are now only to charge around 5kw, otherwise the cars onboard AC charger gets too hot and ends the charging session. I have started to see my car degrade as well, as I have had to lower my charge rate to 32a. I have tested out Level 2 AC charging on other chargers as well to rule out my charger being the problem, and it happens on them too unfortunately. To combat this AC charger overheating issue, Hyundai has released a TSB number 23-EV-003H. Unfortunately, the only thing this TSB does is kneecap the cars ability to level 2 charge at a decent rate. After the TSB is applied, once the car detects an overheating onboard AC charger, it will throttle the AC charge rate all the way down to around 5kw. This is unacceptable, when owners of the Ioniq 5 and 6 were promised a vehicle that is able to do 11kw AC charging, or as claimed on Hyundais website, a Level 2 charge from 10-100 in 6 hours and 43 minutes. With my car throttled to 32 amps, it doesn-??t charge nearly as fast adding hours onto the total time required to charge. This is an issue for me because I do not have a place to come home to every single night to charge my car, i-??m only able to stop by the charger momentarily which means securing as much energy as fast as possible through Level 2 charging is very important to me.
