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.

When charging the car on an AC Level 2 charger, the vehicle overheats and charging fails. This is dangerous and can cause overheating/fire to electrical equipment as well as rendering the vehicle inoperable due to insufficient charge. There are no warnings ahead of time prior to failure. The problem is widespread and replicable, as evidenced by reports of forums, reddit, YouTube, and even a TSB issued by Hyundai that fails to adequately resolve the issue.

When starting vehicle, presents a warning message in instrument panel of "Check electric vehicle system". The stated description indicates: "This warning message is displayed when there is a problem with the electric vehicle control system. Refrain from driving when the warning message is displayed." This could be an issue with the battery system, or steering system that puts others in danger due to the unpredictable nature of the error. The Hyundai app that reports vehicle statuses does not show any error or diagnostic codes.

The charging system in the 2023 Ioniq 5 has multiple issues with connectivity and charging above a certain threshold. When charging at home using an electrician certified install by Merit and a county approved installation and Emporia EVSE 48A charger, the car prompts with a message that reads "Electric Vehicle Charge Alarm was processed. Your vehicle is not charging because of a connection failure. Possible reasons include: blackout, payment incompletion, charging stop button enabled." This has only recently started happening with the temperature in the closed garage reaching above 80F. The only way to rectify is to charge below 40A and this same issue is being reported by other Ioniq 5 owners via online forums as well. As it relates to DC fast charging at public infrastructure, the Ioniq 5 has a reliability problem with connectivity to the CCS1 ports that are used with Electrify America stations. The common denominator appears to be the charging port of the Ioniq 5.

We purchased our 2023 Ioniq5 approximately 7 months ago. We saw an article in the newspaper about the 2022 Ioniq losing power while driving. That has happened to us 3 times in the last several months so it is not strictly the 2022 model. One time was particularly scary as I was entering a busy freeway the car lost power and as much as I pushed on the pedal I could not go more than 20mph. This happened for about 15-30 seconds then finally accelerated. My husband said he has experienced the same problem with this vehicle on 3 different occasions. Thank you.

2023 Hyundai Ioniq 5 (SEL, AWD) has bad ICCU (intergrated charging control unit). Will only charge at DC chargers reliably, level 2 or level 1 chargers will only work intermittently. Has been in the shop 2 weeks with no estimated repair date as the ICCU is on backorder. This issue is affecting a lot of Hyundai/KIA/Genesis customers who's vehicles share the same platform. The dealer won't even say where I am in line to receive the ICCU vs. everyone else in North America. This is really unacceptable for a car I paid almost $60,000 for.
