2022 HYUNDAI IONIQ 5 Engine Problems

While charging at a level 2 charger (6 kW) the car stop charging at 61% for no apparent reason. I was unable to restart charging. Within 2-3 minutes of starting the car and driving, received a warning to “check the vehicle electrical system” and then within another minute or two, another warning to “stop vehicle and check power supply.” I was traveling under 20 mph the entire time.

I have had all recall updates on the car including a recent one on 10/13/2025. Turned on the heater on the first cold night in Dallas this fall and got the engine warning light. Checked the ODB and code was P1A90(96). I was able to drive it to the dealer with a 40 mph max speed. The funny thing is my ICCU has already been replaced under warranty once like 16 months ago, so it seems the replacement parts aren't much better than the original. Dealer confirmed it is an ICCU failure and I'm now waiting on the part. Hyundai has NOT fixed this ICCU problem even when they replace with a new ICCU. Someone needs to hold them accountable for finding a real fix.

On November 29 2025 my 2022 Hyundai Ioniq 5 with 49000 miles was warming up in the driveway. I heard a pop sound from the back seat like a soda can being opened (or a fuse blowing). Immediately afterwards warning lights appeared on the dash saying "Check Electrical System." The vehicle lost power to accelerate and could not be driven effectively. After a few moments, another error saying "Power is Limited" appeared. This could have happened on the roadway which would have been hazardous to myself and other drivers. The car is scheduled to be diagnosed next week by Simmons Rockwell Hyundai in Elmira, NY. These symptoms are similar to the hundreds of other reports of ICCU failures in this car and similar models. On Sept 10, 2025 the car was previously issued software updates to the ICCU software , which were required under NHTSA Recall Number 24V868000. If this problem is proven to be an ICCU failure, the experience with this car is an example of the 2025 software update failing to prevent the ICCU Failure. I request swift action from the NHTSA to compel Hyundai to implement a permanent fix for my vehicle and all other afflicted models in order to make Americas roadways safe again. Until then, everyone should be extra careful when driving behind a Hyundai Ioniq, 5 because it is at risk of dying and coming to a complete stop at any moment. Hyundai is a large corporation and has the resources and technology to fix this, but they have not done so, despite there being more than 300 complaints to the NHTSA about these cars at the time of this writing.

The ICCU in the car failed. It immediately limited the speed of the vehicle to 25mph. There were no warnings, it happened all at once. I had to drive on the shoulder of the interstate to the next exit. Obviously, driving 25 on the shoulder while cars passed me at 65+ was not a safe situation.

The contact owns a 2022 Hyundai Ioniq 5. The contact stated that the electrical charger was overheating, and the 12-volt battery was draining without warning. The contact stated that while charging the vehicle, the contact heard an explosion. The contact stated while driving 20 MPH, the message "Stop Driving Immediately - Return to Dealer"; the check engine warning light illuminated, and the vehicle experienced a loss of automotive power. The contact stated that on one occasion after turning off the vehicle, the battery remained active for 3 days, causing the battery to become drained. The vehicle was taken to a local dealer where the vehicle was diagnosed and the contact was informed that the water pump, the EV battery, the charge point, the inside batteries, the sensors, the navigation system, were faulty and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired; however, the failure persisted. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 65,000.

Mileage: 65,000

Hyundai Ioniq EV's have a continuing issue with a component called that "ICCU". The ICCU and high voltage fuse failed even after two recalls meant to monitor that problem and update the software. Luckily, mine failed in my driveway at home which did not put me in immediate risk. However, many people have this part fail while driving on roads and highways with zero warning. There have been two ICCU-related recalls that my car has had. When I started my vehicle I heard a "pop" and then the dashboard said "Check vehicle electrical system" and then shows the "limp mode" icon allowing to drive the vehicle at a slow speed to safety.

I am filing this complaint to report a serious safety defect involving my 2022 Hyundai Ioniq 5. The vehicle experienced a sudden failure of the Integrated Charging Control Unit (ICCU), which caused the car to completely shut down and lose power while in motion. My family member, who was driving at the time, stated that the car lost power and shut off without warning on the road, creating an extremely dangerous situation. Thankfully, they were able to pull over without incident, but this type of malfunction could easily result in a collision, injury, or worse. I later discovered that this issue is part of a widespread ICCU failure affecting Hyundai Ioniq 5 and other Hyundai/Kia EVs. My vehicle has been at the dealership for over a month, and Hyundai has informed me that the part required to repair the vehicle is backordered for 2–3 months, leaving me without my primary mode of transportation. This issue is not only a reliability concern but a serious safety hazard that warrants immediate investigation and intervention. A vehicle that completely loses power while driving is unacceptable, especially for a relatively new vehicle under warranty. I urge the NHTSA to investigate the ICCU failures in Hyundai Ioniq 5 vehicles and determine whether a broader mandatory recall is needed due to the loss of motive power and serious safety risk. Many owners are affected, and delays in repair parts are putting consumers in unsafe situations.

ICCU failure preventing car from AC charging. In shop 25 days now but part not available and not given estimated repair time. Car was bought new and has 24,600 miles on it.

Even after getting all recalls done my IONIQ5 had an ICCU failure. I feel that latest update which was supposed to fix ICCU issue actually accentuated it. With number of complaints on this car for ICCU failure there should class action law suit on Hyundai

On Saturday, [XXX], at approximately [XXX], I drove my 2022 Hyundai Ioniq 5 north on [XXX] . The car was operating normally. I stopped at the red light at the corner of [XXX] and noticed a large red circle with a "Check electrical system" warning on the driver's display screen. When the traffic light turned green, I pressed the accelerator pedal, and the car did not move. I looked at the "Park, Neutral, Reverse, Drive" shifter. The "P" was lit up, indicating the car was in "Park." I attempted to switch to "Drive," and the status indicator remained in "P." I then pushed the "EV START STOP" switch to see if I could cycle the vehicle off and then back on to clear the problem. The switch had no effect. [XXX] is a busy four-lane, undivided street near the University of Colorado at Boulder campus. I selected the hazard flashers and called 911 to alert the Boulder Police Department that I was in a car that was immobilized in the middle of the right-hand northbound lane. Cars had to swerve to avoid me. The Police Department dispatched a vehicle that arrived 10 minutes later, pulled up behind me, and put its flashing lights on to alert traffic. While waiting for the tow truck, I received another alert on the driver's display that informed me that the 12-volt battery was nearly completely discharged, and I had 10 minutes of power left. The warning counted the remaining minutes to 0, and the displays shut down. From the first warning message to the shutdown, I could not turn the car system off or shift the car out of the park. The tow company had to put dollies under the rear wheels of the Ioniq 5 and lift the front end off the ground to tow the vehicle, as all four wheels were locked. The car was towed to Crossroads Hyundai in Loveland, Colorado. It had just been serviced to address all the recall issues, including the ICCU software update. The car has approximately 16,000 miles on it. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

In Apr 2024 we had an issue with charging the vehicle at level 1 and level 2 took to dealer and they replaced the ICCU unit. A week later the car was DOA no lights nothing so we had to jump start it. We Took to dealer they did an update , week later DOA again. Took to dealer and found out the MSU part needs to be replaced Back ordered for a month and still at dealer was given a loaner, sound familar cause its occuring over and over. Waiting on repair no ETA.

Vehicle was having issues charging large battery. Would shut off immediately. Today 12v battery died, probably related to ICCU recall performed earlier this month.

It is UNKNOWN what component or system failed There was a sudden and total electrical failure with the inability to safely move the car. If this electrical failure had occurred on a turnpike or expressway it would have been a catastrophic event. Car was flat bedded to a dealership Dashboard warning provided less than 5 min time and 0.5 mile before ceasing to operate at all although car's computer thought that the car's health was OK.

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.

ICCU failed and Fuse failed, causing car to go into turtle mode, barely made it hope to have it towed to dealer

The vehicle lost traction power, failed to respond to presses to the accelerator and coasted to a stop. It gave no indication on the dash that there were any problems. Putting the car in park and then selecting drive again restored traction power and the car responded to pressing of the accelerator pedal. The car was not turned off and back on. During the incident: - The brakes, steering, air conditioning, radio and other electrical equipment continued to operate normally. - The car was configured for "Level 2" regen braking, but during the incident, when all pressure was removed from the accelerator pedal, the car did not "feel" like it slowed as normally did during Level 2 regen when there is no application of the accelerator. - The car was configured for "ECO" mode. The drive mode was switched to Normal and Sport during the incident but it had no effect. - The Power/Charge gauge on the dash neither indicated Power when the accelerator was pressed nor indicated Charge when coasting (as would be expected for Level 2 regen) or when the brake pedal was pressed. Car Information: - The car had about 75% charge and reported about ~260 miles of range. - The manufacturers app has not reported any "DTC" codes. - The car has no open recalls at this time. - Service Campaign 997 was completed August 23rd at dealer. - Service Campaign 9A1 was completed August 23rd at dealer. Additional Information: - A previous event similar to the above described event happened on August 21st where the vehicle lost traction power but gave no indication that anything was wrong. - Reported it to the dealer, but they were unable to find anything wrong or recreate the problem. - They applied the ICCU software update.

The ICCU failed in the car. The car lost power while driving and showed an EV warning and the 12V battery warning.

While driving at highway speeds, there was a loud pop and the display showed "reduce power mode". We had to improvise a stopping place despite being far from home. There was no warning or issues beforehand. This incident was risky because of the loss of power while on a high speed thoroughfare and limited stopping options. The vehicle required a jump to move onto tow truck to take to dealership, where it has remained for two weeks without an estimate for repair. The symptoms.seem consistent with ICCU failure.

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 in motion, the “EV Start Stop”button is still allowed to turn off the vehicle if accidentally pressed. This happened to me while on the highway and moving about 15-20 MPH. The vehicle suddenly lose power and wouldn’t accelerate. I could not move the vehicle, without hitting the EV Start Stop button several times.

Hyundai San Jose dealership, Customer Service, told me, The fuse surrounding the Lithium battery is broken. This causes the whole car break down, and it is very dangerous to drive. My car has been in this Hyundai dealership over 5 months now, Hyundai cannot send the parts to San Jose Hyundai and I cannot drive the car. Also the 12V small lead acid battery in the front, broken down a few times. Cannot start the car. The whole car shuts down.

While driving, on a busy street in Holyoke MA, a STOP waning appeared on the drivers display indicating an electrical/power problem. I pulled over to side of road and called a tow truck. Car was taken to dealer where they ran diagnostics on the vehicle. Diagnostics showed failed ICCU and bad cell in 12v battery. Replaced ICCU and high voltage fuse.

Car literally DIED while driving. Went from normal speed to 12mph to 6mph to dead. ICCU failure.

Called an ICCU failure. It's the control unit that charges the 12V battery from the high voltage battery. The unit fails blowing the high voltage fuse. Failure of this component causes the vehicle to all but shut down, even while driving. This is known by Hyundai. Others have said this happens at about 12 months and 10,000 miles. My car was 53/54weeks old and had 9,300 miles. This failure of this part may have also caused my AC to stop working. As pressure sensor on the 12V system that was working before the component failed was not working when I received the car back, resulting in another lengthy repair. I had about 0.7 miles warning, a yellow check EV system lit up, then the whole dash lit up saying to pull over immediately. The ICCU was replaced by Hyundai with the "2023 spec" version.

Started vehicle and heard a loud pop with immediate amber warning to check electrical system with 12 volt battery and EV electrical system warning lights illuminated. While driving to dealerships, vehicle slowed abruptly at Highway speed and warning message said to stop vehicle immediately. Towed to dealership with probable bad integrated charging control unit and high voltage fuse blown. Seems to be an issue with many ioniq 5s. Recall this vehicle!

Electrical system not working. The vehicle does not charge. The 12Volt battery is completely dead and vehicle does not start. Before the vehicle gone offline - it was reporting Electrical System is not charging and dead immediately. I towed the vehicle to Route 1 South, South Brunswick, NJ Hyundai Dealership on May 19th, and still in repairs. The main battery pack was showing 90% charge. The vehicle reported problem in the middle of the driving and completely slowed down to below 25Miles before and came to grinding halt. Jumpstarting the vehicle did not help.

On February 6, 2023 at approximately 9:50 a.m. I was driving my Hyundai Ioniq 5 SEL northbound on CA Highway 135, Santa Maria, when I heard a loud pop coming from my car. Within a few seconds my car lost speed rapidly, from 55 mph to 25 then a second later 22 mph . I tried to accelerate - there was no response - the car maintained the 22 mph. A message appeared on the right side of the dash board in an orange circle “check vehicle system” with a small upside down triangle with letters EV also inside this circle and a “small orange battery” picture showed on the left. I drove the car onto the shoulder of the road and with my hazard lights blinking, drove a half block making a right hand turn onto Miller Street to get off the Highway. I entered CHC Medical Building’s parking lot. Immediately upon entering the parking lot, my car stopped dead, before I had a chance to pull into a parking space. My car was now blocking cars coming in and out of the parking lot. I called Roadside Assistance and reported the above, the time was approximately 10:19 a.m. A tow truck (AAA) was requested by Roadside Assistance. After my conversation with Roadside Assistance, I turned the car on again and got power briefly - I moved the car into a stall space and waited. My car arrived at the Hyundai SLO dealership shortly before noon. The ICCU and fuse failed, and replacements have been ordered but the ETA is unknown Abrupt loss of speed was very unsafe
