The first time the "aux" battery was not charging completely. 2nd time pretty much same issue, they claimed to have performed a software update, 3rd time warning lights came on "Problem, check electrical system"..something like this. They told me to bring the vehicle to the dealership. After reading the problems stem from the ICCU, I decided to call them to ask if I should tow it in, due to all the warnings. After this we could not even get into the vehicle or drive it. Took us and the tow driver 4 attempts to get it out of the garage, down driveway and it had to be pulled onto the flat bed. They agreed and said that if there were any tow fees, they would pay them. Furthermore they said they would supply a vehicle to use while mine was being repaired. This was on Jan 25th, they still have not returned my vehicle, claiming they are waiting on parts, I've had to call them to check on it, this week NO contact what so ever.

ICCU ASSY and Fuse had to be replaced as well as the 12 volt battery which failed a few weeks after. The car lost power on a main road 2/3/25 and we were just able to get into a parking lot. The message to check power supply came on and we lost power immediately. The 12 volt battery failed when I went to pick the car up from the dealership after they worked on the bluelink settings that had to be reconfigured a couple weeks later 2/25/25. I was lucky that I didn't have to be towed that time. I had just got into the car to leave and the warning message came on to check the power supply. My dealer service dept was wonderful. I have absolutely no complaints about them but I am angry that Hyundai is putting these same bad parts in the 2025 Ioniq 5 and we can't trust our car! We love this car and were planning to buy another one but will wait to see if Hyundai does the right thing and fixes this problem.

On [XXX], I was driving at about 45mph on main road and heard a pop noise from under car followed by warning display on dash (messages and images showing no charging to wheels) and immediately experienced a tremendous decrease in power. The foot pedal was no longer responding as the power continued to decrease over a period of approx.20 minutes. I was very lucky not to get rear ended as it was rush hour and there was heavy and fast traffic on that road. Engaging emergency flashers appeared to slow the car further as I kept ducking in and out of traffic trying to get home safely. The car was towed to the closest dealership (Preston Hyundai in Millsboro) and has been there since. Therefore, it is available for inspection. Although I have called the service dept. numerous times, I have not gotten any answers as to problem, fix or given a loaner /rental. It will be 3 weeks this coming Monday. They told me that the car has been run through tests and the engineers have not "diagnosed" the problem! I was told it might be the ICCU and that they have 2 other cars in the lot behind me with similar issues. The vehicle was up to date on all recalls (including the prior recall on ICCU issue). Therefore, it has been inspected previously. There was no warning prior to the failure. i noticed that the VIN is not on the list of recalled vehicles- it should have been!! I have contacted the Hyundai national customer service (855-371-9460) on 3/6/25 and explained I was getting the run-around and not being furnished with loaner/rental. I do feel that they should be responsible for the towing cost as well. I was told that a case manager will contact me within 2-3 business days which means sometime next week. Hopefully, he/she will handle the customer service issue with re: to loaner/rental. I hope you will be able to get action on resolving the car issue as those cars are "accidents waiting to happen"!!

While running errands, my Ioniq 5 suddenly made a pop sound, and the dashboard displayed a -??Check Electrical System-?? warning, followed by a loud alert and a message instructing me to -??Stop Vehicle and Check Power Supply.-?? I was able to safely park in a lot and called for a tow. At that point, the car was still operable, but after being unloaded from the flatbed, it would no longer turn on. The issue was diagnosed as a failed ICCU, and I was informed it will take one month to receive the parts and complete the repair. Had this failure occurred on a highway or busy street, it could have been extremely dangerous. I am fortunate that it happened in a safe location.

While driving my car in a high traffic area, it stopped working. Completely stopped. It would not accelerate whatsoever and I was forced to stop on this busy street, luckily right past an intersection. This is a known problem with this vehicle. Yes there is a recall on the car but getting scheduled to have the recall done has been a very long process with me being told it would be months to fit me in.

ICCU failure resulted in a loud pop and then loss of most power. Was still able to move the car but was limited to ~22 miles per hour. Had to be towed to the dealer. Tow and service from the dealer is pending, but my understanding from talking to service is that this is a relatively common issue and will require replacement of the ICCU unit. The car has had multiple recalls to attempt to address this issue preemptively including a little over a month ago. There were no issues reported at that the time of those recall services. Incident occurred without warning. After the pop and loss of power electrical and service warnings popped up all over the dashboard.

After having recall service of ICCU applied, the symptoms that initiated the recall surfaced. I had not driven 200 miles before I received a warning that the electrical system needed attention, followed by a warning the battery (12volt) had an issue and to stop driving. On top of that, the car will not accept a charge.

I took my Hyundai Ionqi 5 Electric Set AWD in for two recalls. After picking up the car, I left the car dealership and merged onto the highway. Within 1-2 minutes after I left the dealership, the dashboard was flashing red circle with an exclamation point that said the electrical system was low. I could no longer accelerate. I proceeded to move to the right with traffic traveling 60-70 mph. I was extremely scared as I tried to drive on the side of the road. I had to turn on my flashers to get to the next exit. I was going about 20-25 mph. As I tried to go back to the dealership, it died in an intersection. Again, I was concerned about my safety with my car unable to move. I had the car towed back to the dealership. They said it was the 12 volt battery, but when they looked further they said it was the Integrated Charging Control Unit (ICCU) which wasn't working. The dealership said that they checked the 12 volt battery and the ICCU when they finished the recalls and everything was OK. That doesn't make any sense when everything dies within 1-2 minutes. Then the dealership said they would not be able to get a part until the end of March.

After taking 2023 Hyundai Ionic5 in three times due to recall notice for ICCU software update over the course of 18 months, ICCU still failed causing complete loss of power. Car has less than 5,000 miles on it. Have been told no estimate available on time it will take to get part replacement. Could be months.

While driving the vehicle on a local road at around 40 mph, check electrical system light came on and I heard a pop sound behind me. The vehicle would suddenly go no faster than 30 mph. Upon further driving, for additional quarter mile, it would drive no faster than 12 mph. I was able to very slowly drive it 1.5 mi back home. Once I arrive home, the vehicle was no longer operational. I confirmed that the 12-volt battery was at an extremely low charge and having the vehicle on would not charge the 12 volt battery. I believe the ICCU failed. I am waiting for Hyundai to further diagnose this.

The 12v battery had zero energy after an overnight charge of the HV battery. The car was driven yesterday for 400 miles and three DC charge events. The car was plugged into my level 2 charger at 11 pm and it charged the HV battery to 100% overnight. Today, I was able to unlock the car electrically, but that appeared to be the last action the 12v battery could perform. All displays were dark, I could not start the car, and the emergency flashers would not work. The HV battery was at 100% from the overnight level 2 charge because the indicator lights by the charger were all lit and when I applied a jump pack to the 12v battery, the dash indicated 100% battery level. I was able to put the car in neutral by applying the jump pack to the 12v battery so the car could be pulled up the flatbed tow truck. This car has had all recalls performed. Please open a new investigation regarding the ICCU failure because it is clear from the data that Hyundai has not resolved the problem.

My vehicle will not charge with my Chargepoint Home Charger. It only charges on a DC High capacity charger. I have completed all of the recalls at the dealership where I purchased the car. The service manager told me the vehicle is unsafe to drive. It has been at the dealership for two weeks while waiting for a backordered ICCU. The repair will take place upon receipt of the part. I have no faith that the repair will work. In any case I am now afraid to drive the vehicle even if the dealer says it is repaired.
