ICCU failed during driving causing car to come to a halt on a busy road quickly, thankfully enough time to drive to side of road. Car had been in dealer for ICCU software update/recall 2 weeks before hand. Whatever the current fix is for the ICCU is clearly incomplete, at the Seattle Hyundai dealership there are 6 cars all waiting 6+ weeks on replacement parts for this issue. This seems like a significantly bigger problem than Hyundai is admitting and they are not proactively addressing with urgency. Thankfully we were only on a busy arterial not on a highway.

While driving on the highway in foggy conditions, the smart cruise control system and forward safety system suddenly shut off while I was going 70 miles an hour. This almost resulted in a car rear ending me due to the sudden deceleration. The following day, with clear weather, the same issue happened again despite nothing appearing to have caused this issue while I was driving. This is a very serious concern to suddenly stop on a highway.

My 2022 Ioniq 5 had an ICCU failure on February 2025. On February 12, 2025 I was not able to charge the car. I took it to the dealer twice for an ICCU software update. The first software update was on October 15, 2024. The second software update was January 16 2025. The third time was on February 13, 2025 for an ICCU failure. The car is at the dealership and waiting for the part so it can be replaced. If you need to do an inspection the car is at the dealership. There was no warning, it just will not take a charge. I have been waiting for a little over a month for the part to arrive at the dealership for replacement. I've call the dealership multiple times inquiring about the new replacement. They have no idea when this part will become available. I'm frustrated because no one knows anything so my car sits on their lot waiting for a part that I feel they should have in stock. Hyundai has known about the ICCU failures since 2022. Why Hyundai dealerships do not have ICCU's readily available? Knowing very well about these recalls and failures.

I was driving home on a very cold morning and heard a "thunk" in the back right of my car. Almost immediately I got a warning that my cars electrical vehicle system needed attention. That quickly turned to a turtle telling me the issue with the electric vehicle system was limiting speed. Eventually my car stopped working. I had the 12v battery jumped and got it home. After charging the 12v battery for over a day and calling a local dealership, they determined it was most likely the ICCU. I drove my car around to the front of my house and immediately got the same warning. It was towed that same day. It has now been 2 weeks and the part is on back-order.

On [XXX] I was preparing to leave for work in the morning. I unplugged my Ioniq 5 from the home charger, entered the car, and started the vehicle. Immediately, the panel warning system stated “Check Electrical System.” Because I am familiar with the warnings that have been displayed related to ICCU failure, I called the dealership to schedule a service appointment (set for February 18, the following Tuesday). I drove the car to work for a meeting, then restarted the vehicle following the meeting and the same message appeared on the screen. I then drove the vehicle directly to Werner Hyundai Service Department in Tallahassee, Florida and left it for diagnostics. On February 14, 2025, my service advisor called to advise that the ICCU and the VCMS had failed and required replacement. I was then advised that I would be placed on a waiting list for an ICCU part that was expected to be released nationwide on March 1, 2025. As of today’s date, March 8th, I have not been made aware of an ICCU part availability (apparently the VCMS has arrived at the dealership and is being held pending the receipt of an ICCU) nor an anticipated repair of my vehicle, it remains at the dealership service department pending parts availability. My husband unplugged our home charger that uses a 220 volt plug and noted that the plug showed melting damage and that the plug and wall had black marks that suggest that the car caused a malfunction that resulted in a spark in our garage.

On the morning of February 3rd, 2025, while driving, I heard a pop. A few seconds later, as I approached an intersection, a yellow warning appeared that instructed me to "Check the Electric Vehicle System". It minimized to a small caution light. I attempted to continue driving, pulling through the intersection; however, the vehicle had an abrupt loss of power; I was unable to proceed over 20-25 mph. In total no more than 2-3 mins passed from hearing the pop to loss of power. I pulled into a neighborhood, stopped the car, and consulted the owner's manual for direction on the warning light. While parked, and an estimated 8-10 minutes after hearing the first pop, I received a second warning, this time in red. It said "Turn power off immediately. Check power supply." I turned car off/contacted roadside, as advised in my manual, for a tow. After review at the dealership, I was originally told I needed a new 12V that it had died while I was driving. I authorized the replacement, though I also indicated to the service department that if that CAN happen, it really does not make sense AND there should be a different warning indicator for a failed 12v that could be replaced roadside versus instructing for a tow.However, after replacing my 12v the service advisor indicated that the car pulled codes and that the ICCU and its fuse seemed to have failed, which likely caused the damage to the 12v battery. After a few days of testing, my car was cleared for replacement of the failed ICCU by

This is the second time I’ve taken my Hyundai IONIQ 5 in to Hyundai as part of a recall “fix” for ICCU Failure. Each time, the car has been operating fine, I take the car in for the “fix” as it’s required, and then shortly after the car breaks down while it’s in motion / operating. I’ve concluded these are not “fixes” and I have no ability to trust the safety or reliability of the vehicle. 1) ICCU Failure 8 Days After Recall “Fix”. Same thing happened the previous year. Took the car in for the recall “Fix” and shortly after the car dangerous broke down while driving. 2) Car became a brick. 3) Yes, Hyundai Service Center has confirmed ICCU fault. 4) Yes, see #3 5) Yes, minutes before the car became inoperable.

My car suffered a failure of the Integrated Charge Control Unit ("ICCU") which makes the car underivable. This is the third time that I have had an issue with the ICCU. The first two times, it failed to charge the 12V battery, leading to a loss of all 12V systems and being unable to drive the car. This third time, the car now refuses to charge on AC power. Hyundai has tried to "repair" this issue with software updates, but it doesn't fix it. Now I am waiting for a remanufactured ICCU to replace my broken one.

1) This is the second occurrence of this issue within the past 12 months. While driving, my EV displayed various blinking lights and a “Check EV Connection” message, followed by a “12v Battery Critical” warning. The entire system began shutting down in the middle of the road. I managed to pull over before the car completely shut off. 2) This malfunction posed a significant safety risk to me and others. The rapid deceleration and uncertainty of an imminent shutdown almost caused an accident, either from other vehicles crashing into me or from my inability to stop in time, potentially hitting another car. I have faced this life-threatening situation twice within a year due to the same issue. 3) The problem was confirmed by my dealership less than a year ago, and my car is currently being towed back to the dealership for re-inspection of the same issue. 4) The vehicle and its components have not been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives, or other parties for the current situation. However, the manufacturer issued a recall for this problem last year AFTER my initial report, incident, and repair. They claimed to have fixed the faulty issue or replaced the necessary parts, when my vehicle was repaired less than 12 months ago. Despite this, I am experiencing the same critical problem again. 5) During the incident, my entire panel started blinking with a “Check EV Connection” message, followed by a red warning sign indicating a 12v Battery Critical Failure

Less than 48 hours after getting the latest Integrated Charging Control Unit (ICCU) recall performed (Hyundai Recall Number 272, NHTSA Recall Number 24V-868), the ICCU on my car failed. This resulted in the 12V battery no longer being charged by the EV's main battery, and the car entering "Limp-Home Mode", limiting the car's speed to 20mph. Error messages include "Check electric vehicle system" and "Stop vehicle and check power supply". These messages appeared when the ICCU failed, not before. ICCU failures are well known with this car, hence the recall. However, there is anecdotal evidence in the Ioniq 5 Facebook forums that indicate that the ICCU failure rate INCREASES on cars that have had the recall performed. Hyundai and the NHTSA need to examine the failure data to see if there is a cause-and-effect relationship between recall repair and increased failure rate, or if the failures observed by the community are just coincidental.

I had the most recent recall (code 702 I believe) done on January 13th. I believe the recall was an NHTSA required recall and after the software update that was part of the recall my car will no longer charge. It has been with the dealer since January 15th with no resolution in sight. The software update was I believe the 4th such update intended to prevent a part called an ICCU from failing. It took 4 business days but the dealer Hyundai of Roseville confirmed the ICCU needs to be replaced and they don’t have an ETA on when the part will be shipped. Online I have seen reports of the same thing happening to others and the ICCU repair process taking 1-2 months.

On December 22, 2024, I went out at 8 AM to have breakfast with my dad. On the way back, I noticed my car starting to slow down, and the "turtle mode" activated. Normally, this mode only occurs when the battery level is under 1%, but my battery was at 75%. As I tried to park in a safe location, the car suddenly lost power and displayed a warning instructing me to stop due to an electrical problem and to contact service. I was able to safely stop at a small shopping center plaza and called Hyundai's towing service. When the towing company arrived, they found they couldn’t turn the car on and had to use a wheel-lift tow method. Unfortunately, I had to wait nine hours for the car to be towed. The car was dropped off at the dealership on December 22, 2024, but it wasn’t checked until December 31. By the end of the first week or early in the second week of January, I was informed that the replacement ICCU (Integrated Charging Control Unit) had arrived. However, due to the dealership's schedule, they said they wouldn’t begin the installation until the following Tuesday, with hopes of completing the work by the end of that week. This incident was especially frustrating because I had already experienced an ICCU failure in January 2023, just nine months after purchasing the vehicle. At that time, no one could explain why the ICCU component had failed, and now I’m facing the same issue again.

The vehicle has no power whatsoever. Upon approaching the vehicle, it did not unlock. I used the physical key to open the drivers door. I then tried starting the vehicle only to have the gauge and center display flashing on and off with a red warning That the 12v was dead, to pull over and top immediately then the displays turned off. There are no lights or power to the vehicle no whatsoever. It cannot turn on any of the interior lights or even power door locks. This means only the front doors can be opened or locked and the vehicle will obviously not move. The 12v battery system has been a continuing issue with the vehicle. It has been repaired and the subject of several recalls during my short ownership and is still a problem. Due to a blizzard, I have been unable to have the vehicle taken to the dealership and have been without transportation for 3 days already with no clear resolution from Hyundai.

Hyundai has absolutely dropped the ball on this Ioniq 5's ICCU and 12V battery issue. After numerous recalls to fix a hardware problem through a series of software fixes that don't work and refusal to give a loaner for loss of use, I would like to pursue a buyback option for this vehicle. On Tuesday, [XXX], I went to Napleton Valley Hyundai in Aurora, IL to complete RECALL CAMPAIGN #272 NHTSA RECALL # 24V868000. After the recall, my 12V battery went dead on Wednesday, [XXX] and had to be towed to dealership. Their only solution was yet another software update and then charge the 12V and said it was ready for pickup on Thursday, December 5. I told them then to also do a wheel alignment and they said during that process, the 12V battery went down again. They then charged it back up and gave it back to me and said it was good. I encouraged them to pursue a better solution but they had no interest. So, it was picked up on Friday, [XXX]. On Saturday [XXX], the 12V battery went dead again and will have to be towed back to the dealership. Over the phone, my service advisor said it would have to be charged and released. If this issue then happens again, then a replacement might be considered. Calls to Hyundai North America headquarters have not yielded any results and they claim they need 3 business days to assign my case while I have no working car.

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.

While we were driving the Ioniq recently when it suddenly lost all power. We had a very brief warning on the dash that it was losing its power; we barely had enough time to pull onto a side street. It lost power so quickly we couldn't position the car properly and it stayed in the middle of the side street until the tow truck came and jumped the 12 volt battery enough to get the car into gear so it could drive up the tow truck ramp. The scary part was that we were only a block away from turning onto busy Highway 522 when it died. Had the car died on the highway we could have been stranded in a very unsafe position. The dealer later diagnosed the problem as a failed ICCU and 12-volt battery and replaced both. We had to rent a car for 3 days.

Upon inspection they retrieved error code P1A9096 that said the ICCU failed. The ICCU fuse was also blown (open).

Car has suddenly lost power three times while driving at low speeds or while stopped (eg at a stop light). I have turned off the power (EV start button) and then turned it back on, and the car restarts and starts moving again. The sudden loss of power seems dangerous-- I am concerned that if someone is following close behind me, they will be unable to brake and I will be rear-ended. Please note that I purchased this vehicle used and the problem started occurring the 2nd day I drove the car. (The car was bought back by a dealer in FL under the state lemon law and was subsequently purchased by a dealer in NJ, from whom I purchased the car.) I suspect the same problem was occurring when the vehicle was bought back by the Fl dealer, and it was not properly fixed.

For example, a fifteen mile drive would deplete the battery 25 miles. The dealer still has the car waiting to replace the battery.

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

NHTSA publishes every complaint as the owner wrote it and investigates only a fraction. Spelling, capitalisation and judgement are the filer’s own. What carries weight is repetition: the same component failing the same way across many filings, and whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.
