Nov 4, 2025 Crash

I was coasting into a library parking space with my foot off the accelerator. The car accelerated even with my foot on the brake, jumped a curb and was stopped with above ground tree roots. The dashboard should have been lighted up with collision warning indicators and the automatic braking should have engaged. It did none of that. The car was totaled. Nothing was ever checked to see if it was a mechanical error. My insurer totaled the car.

Instrument panel on car will not turn on when car is started. Thus, all advanced cruise control and safety systems do not function. Car has not been to the dealership for repair yet. There were no warnings or any other indication that there was an impending problem.

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.

ABS or All wheel Drive did not seem to work while driving on a Highway, and I tried to stop as there was another vehicle on the road which was spinning out of control. If ABS was activated, the car would have stopped, and similarly if All wheel Drive was working, car would not have spun out of control.

ICCU stopped charging my auxiliary battery (Hyundai Ioniq 5). I couldn’t figure out why, but I began carrying a portable charger with me which instantly got my car going again. One day during a particularly nasty snow storm, my battery was dead again and I jump started my car. I drove it about 40 feet before I realized it needed snow socks. I stepped out of my car and got back in and a whole myriad of warnings were going on. I got a code for the vent flaps (snow had got stuck in there…that was an easy fix. Also my Auto Hold light, Check ABS light, and Smart Cruise Control warning indicator lights were all on and are still two months later still not working. The car otherwise operates well enough to drive as I replaced the auxiliary battery. Since replacing the battery, the car operates as well as the ICCU (it charges the new battery) but the previous issues remain.

The contact owns a 2022 Hyundai Ioniq 5. The contact stated that while driving at 50–60 MPH, the Forward Collision Avoidance and Lane Assist warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer, where the instrument cluster went blank. The dealer was unable to determine the cause of the failure. The manufacturer was contacted and opened a case. The manufacturer sent a technician to diagnose the vehicle. The technician stated that the VCU, battery, ICCU, and high-voltage battery needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired, but the failure recurred. The vehicle was taken back to the local dealer, but the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The failure mileage was 19,000.

Mileage: 19,000

The cruise will shut off randomly saying the radar is blocked. When it does this the car decelerates very fast. Which is very dangerous in traffic. I’ve almost been rear ended a few times. It has also just started decelerating very fast when in cruise on highway for no apparent reason with no one in front of me.

The contact owns a 2022 Hyundai Ioniq 5. The contact stated that the pedestrian warning system was inoperable while reversing. Additionally, the contact stated that the battery was 92 percent charged; however, while driving 30-40 MPH, the message "Electric Power Failure" was displayed. The contact turned off the heater and the radio and continued driving. The contact stated that while parking the vehicle, the message "Electric Power Failure - Stop Immediately" was displayed and several alarms sounded. The contact notified the dealer and was informed to drive the vehicle to the residence and the vehicle would be picked up. The contact stated that while driving to the residence, the failure recurred, and the vehicle failed to respond upon depressing the accelerator pedal while driving uphill. The contact became aware that the vehicle had lost electrical power. The contact was able to veer to the side of the road. The vehicle was towed to the dealer, where it was diagnosed that the integrated charging control unit (ICCU) needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 9,600.

Mileage: 9,600

Hyundai's connected car service (bluelink) suffered an outage that resulted in driver profiles on many Hyundai vehicles being deleted/reset. No notice was provided and the profiles were not recovered. As a result, the vehicles did not funtion as expected. Driver assist settings were set to default (steering, braking, and acceleration functions included). Hyundai provided instructions on how to set up a new profile in response rather than restoring the customer data to their personally owned hardware (car).

- EV Fuse blown My Hyundai Ioniq5 EV electrical system stopped function on March 25th, 9 month after we purchased this EV, on a busy highway. It took Hyundai dealer 8 weeks to fix this issue. Due to the fix report, some fuse was blown. - Automatic Emergency Braking engaged On Jun 16th, when driving on HW 90 west bound, road was clean. No vehicle in front of me. The "Automatic Emergency Braking " was engaged. This could be very dangerous if the highway was busy.

While driving on highway I got below messages “Safety Functions are limited radar block warning message” Warning message went away after 15 minutes but then “Stop Vehicle Check Power Supply” warning message appeared and vehicle slowed on highway and stopped after 2 miles. Dealer replaced ICCU and Fuse that controls high voltage (charges 12v battery from main battery).

When driving on the interstate the collision avoidance system will falsely trigger around 5% of the times going under overpasses or road signs. The vehicle rapidly decelerates using regenerative braking.

I was driving on the highway using advanced highway assist and the car became completely unresponsive. I was traveling 75mph on a major highway with a semi behind me and one to my right in the slow lane. The car stopped accelerating and I was unable to resume driving. I was forced to coast to a stop on the side of the highway. I had my daughter with me and were I not able to safely maneuver between the semi trucks, we could have been killed or seriosuly injured in a high speed crash.

The car started turning to the right on the freeway. Suddenly, alarm started going off and acceleration diminished.

I parked the car end visited a store. Upon turning the car back on, the car freaked out and indicated that I needed to "Stop vehicle and check brake system." At the same time, the check engine light illuminated and the car entered limp home mode. CEL codes C164286 & C238001 appeared. The next day I brought the car to a Hyundai dealer who "fixed" the issue by removing a component that is unrelated to the braking and security systems and the car became drivable again for ~300 miles. I then went on two business trips and returned home. I drove the car and it again experienced the same error upon turning the car on. The braking system still functioned, but all electronic features were disabled by the car and braking involved a lot of force on the brake pedal to get the car to stop. For as long as I've owned the car, it has (infrequently) flashed the "Check automatic lane change system" when the car is turned on but the error goes away and doesn't return for weeks to months. The car is now back with the dealer who "fixed" the issue originally but their EV tech isn't always there to look at cars, even though the issue is not necessarily EV related as all cars (should) have brakes. Original incident: 9/8/2022, Second Occurrence: 9/30/2022

Jul 30, 2022 Crash

Involved in a minor collision. Rear ended another car accelerating from a stop light (low speed). Forward collision warning did not activate. Auto braking did not activate. No airbag deployed.

I started my car up right after charging on a rainy day at 2500 miles exactly and got 5 warnings. Check battery, lane assist warning, abs warning, parking brake warning, forward collision warning and bling spot collision avoidance warning lights were on. More or less all these systems triggered a fault. I tried turning it off and on to no luck. As I drove to the dealer my breaks became steadily lighter and lighter with the manual break even clicking at times. My breaking distance was doubled by the time that i got there. Other owners are seeing the same issue. It sounds quite similar to the Kona Electric recall (20V-748). My car is unsafe to drive.
