Jan 8, 2026

My car (a 2024 Ioniq, which I bought new exactly a year ago, and which has less than 12,000 miles on it) lost power on a busy road. I ended up having to get it towed to the dealership as it was not drivable. It’s currently at the dealership with a blown ICCU, which I’m told needs to be replaced. Apparently this part is on back order due to high demand & I do not have access to my vehicle for at least 2 weeks. Upon doing research, it seems that this is an extremely common problem for the Hyundai Ioniq. NHTSA has the ICCU failure rate as 1% but per my dealership, in their experience, it is 6-7%, which is appallingly high. I am very surprised and disappointed to see that there has been no recall ordered for this part.

Jan 4, 2026

While driving on highway, there’s loud pop came from rear area and then the “check electrical vehicle system” warning light came on. The car wasn’t able in turtle mode.

Jan 2, 2026

Had car in for regular service. No problems reported by service department. Immediately after leaving the dealer, less than 1 mile away, a warning message came up on the screen that the car "may have experienced a charging/electrical event, and to contact my dealer immediately of service. Risk of system failure. I immediately returned to the dealer, and they did a quick diagnostic check, which revealed DTC code P0AA600. This is the second similar incident with this car. On 1/10/25 this car had recall campaign 272 performed, which was supposed to fix this problem. On 8/22/25 the car would not start and had to be towed to the dealer. They replaced the 12v battery and claimed the battery was defective.

Jan 1, 2026

all suddenly car started to show : Check electric vehicle system" And slow down to 25 miles and eventually 10 miles. Make it not drivable. Looks like ICCU issues

Dec 31, 2025

While driving, I heard a loud pop in the rear passenger side and subsequently, the dashboard showed an error to "stop vehicle and check power supply". After driving about 15 minutes, another error showed on the dashboard "12V battery voltage low. Stop safely". After coming to a stop, the vehicle completely shut off and would not turn back on. A tow truck was called and my vehicle was towed to a Hyundai dealership. The vehicle is now at the service center at a Hyundai dealership. The dealership confirmed it was an ICCU failure. While there was not a crash or any injury, the known defect from Hyundai left my wife, my [XXX] daughter, and me, stranded 60 miles away from home, in the middle of the night. Luckily we were pulled over safely and not in the middle of the highway. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

The ICCU failed while driving. A loud pop occured then a red warning light came up asking you to stop the vehicle and check the power supply. The car went into turtle mode where I could at best drive 25 miles per hour. This car was part of a recall last year to prevent this issue, however only a software fix was performed. Luckly I was able to get the car home on a very cold day.

Dec 28, 2025

The vehicle is less than 1 years old. Had 91% charge left. Turned in the car as usual. Turned in heated seats and heated steering wheel as the outside temp was 34 degrees. A pop noise occurred and my entire dashboard flashed like a Christmas tree saying electrical system failure. Pull over safety. The cars speed was reduced to 20 mph. This was extremely scary as this happened on a main road where the speed limit was 55. The ICCU failed according to the dealer. This has been a common issue among Ioniq5 cars and the manufacturer has failed to fixed this issue. This car presents a high failure rate of the ICCU computer that controls the entire car. Once this chip fails, the car can not be driven and it must be towed back to the dealership. This is not a one off. Hyundai also quietly remove the remote start feature to activate the heated seats. They must know that turning on the heated seats might trigger an overload causing possible risk of iccu failure.

The ICCU on my car failed after hearing a loud pop (fuse blown) while driving on the freeway. This was an incredibly dangerous scenario in which I went from 70 mph to 25 mph, in an area with no shoulder. Hyundai is aware of the issues with the ICCU and I believe they should expand the recall to include EVERY Hyundai Ioniq 5 and 6. Interestingly, the technician at the dealership states in the summary of service that my car is subject to the recall due to the fault code (P1A9096). Why did I have to experience this failure to be subject to recall? My car should be subject to the recall/service based on VIN, but according to [XXX] it is not. Also at issue is the time it took to Hyundai's tech line to work with my dealership, and the time they are suggesting to provide replacement parts. My car was delivered via tow truck to the dealership at 11:16 AM on 12/11/2025 and I got the message regarding the diagnosis and solution to my car's issue on 12/19/2025 at 10:01 AM. It should not take 8 days to diagnose this issue, nor should it take 2 weeks for parts that are a known issue for Hyundai.

Dec 18, 2025

On Monday Dec 15 I was on the Coranado bridge in San Diego heading on the island. A warning flashed about the electric system. Then, towards the end of the bridge, the car immediately slowed down suddenly and I could feel the regenerative breaking. I had to time or opportunity to get over. By the grace of God, traffic started to slow as we got near the end of the bridge and the car was able to go roughly 20 MPH on the side roads with my foot all the way down on the accelerator pedal. With my hazard lights on, I was able to drive closer to where I was meeting my wife and find a parking lot to turn into so a tow truck could get me. It was terrifying. I’m alive by some miracle and I’m very lucky I was meeting my family and they weren’t with me.

The contact owns a 2024 Hyundai Ioniq 5. The contact stated that the message "Check Electric Vehicle System" and DTC: P0C7300 - System Motor Control Problem Detected had been displayed intermittently on the instrument panel. The contact stated that the DTC notification was persistently displayed on the Hyundai Blue link Mobile App. The vehicle was taken to the dealer several times, but the contact was informed that the failure could not be duplicated because the messages and the DTC were no longer displayed. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, and the contact was informed that she would receive a call back within 2-3 days. The failure mileage was approximately 3,000.

Mileage: 3,000

Dec 10, 2025

While accelerating onto a road with cars approaching from behind, vehicle entered limp mode and was restricted to 25 MPH. I was forced to leave the roadway to avoid a collision with the vehicle behind. The street this occurred on has a speed limit of 40 MPH. The vehicle's normal acceleration was sufficient to ensure a safe gap to the approaching car, but the time it took to recognize and react to the unexpected behavior reduced this gap. The dealer diagnosed this as an ICCU failure related to safety recall 272. All prior recalls were complete at the time of the incident.

Dec 9, 2025

The ICCU failed while driving which left me with an undriveable vehicle on the side of the road. The vehicle was towed to the dealership and repaired; however, the part is the same and may fail again.

Nov 12, 2025

While driving, heard a pop sounds from back seats. Then a warning appears on front screen : Check Electric Vehicle system. The car lost all power and stopped beside the road. The car has only 14K kms on it.

ICCU failure

Oct 31, 2025

Hyundai is ignoring the fact that many Ioniq 5 have an ICCU defect that happens without warning and can leave you stranded with a bricked car that you can’t drive. They have a software recall for it that I had performed at the dealer. This did not solve the problem because it failed yesterday and I was stranded far from home. They continue to put this same part in the 2025 model. I have a 2024. Brand new cars are having the same problem which requires the whole unit to be replaced with the same unit that can go bad. I know people who it has happened to multiple times. They need to issue a recall that replaces the entire unit with a redesigned one. Not the same exact part. Everyone of these cars is a ticking time bomb that can leave a person stranded.

Aug 15, 2025 Crash

On [XXX] at [XXX] Pacific Time , I was entering my garage when my vehicle had a surge of acceleration and went through thee wall seperating the garage from the kitchen. There wasn't any emergency braking , even with myself applying the brake , my vehicle refused to stop.

Last March 12 2025 I heard a pop coming out of a parking lot and warning message appeared. I was able to drive at decreased speed to the dealer. They diagnosed it to be an ICCU failure. It took 6 weeks to get it replaced.

The contact's daughter owns a 2024 Hyundai Ioniq 5. The contact stated that the vehicle had been delayed in starting on several occasions. Additionally, the contact stated that while the contact's daughter was driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle suddenly stalled. The contact stated that the failures had occurred intermittently. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer, where it was diagnosed that the battery had failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not yet repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown.

I am the owner of a 2024 Hyundai Ioniq 5 with Vehicle Identification Number [XXX] I purchased/leased this vehicle on [XXX] from Stockton Hyundai. Over the last couple of months my vehicle has experienced an ongoing charging defect: it only charges on Level 1 but fails to charge properly using Level 2 or DC fast chargers, which significantly impairs its use, value, and convenience — a key feature advertised for this vehicle. The issue has not been confirmed by the dealer as they have not been able to figure out why it’s happening and the vehicle has not been inspected by anyone else I also feel like it’s a safety risk because I’m at risk of being stranded.

Jul 31, 2025

The car was down to 16% charge on the battery so I put it on the 220 v charger at my house. The next day I went to leave and removed the charger from the car and started it. I heard a pop and thought the garbage truck doing weekly pickup had run over something but now I think it was a noise from the failed component. Got in the car and started it and saw a yellow circle with the words “check electrical system”; I had seen this error message once before following a software update to the ICCU back in September 2024 [turned the car off and back on and the error went away] so I did the same thing again but the error didn’t go away instead the circle warning on the screen went to a red circle and read “stop the car and check the electrical system”. Went inside the house and called the closest Hyundai dealership [in Longmont since the one in Boulder closed with no warning] and after some back and forth they told me to have the car towed in since the 12 v battery charging system wasn’t working and it controls many things like power steering and regeneration braking and can cause a loss of power making the car undriveable and unsafe. Towed the car in and got a diagnosis of a failed ICCU module. The part is on order and I have no idea when it might actually come in and get installed. Hyundai is aware of problems with the ICCU and 12 v charging system and has issued several software recalls; this ICCU problem is all over the Hyundai Ioniq 5 forums and is a widespread issue with the Ioniq 5. I’m lucky this failure occurred at my home versus when I was driving or many miles away or at night cuz I would have been stranded.

Jul 20, 2025

On 4/7/2025 the vehicle came to a dead stop while driving about 45 mph on a highway entrance. I was able to get the car to the edge of the highway but it was completely inoperable. It required towing to the nearest dealer. After a day diagnosis it was determined that the ICCU and 12 volt battery had failed. I was stranded on the edge of the highway while waiting for a tow. The problem was confirmed by the dealer, replacement parts were ordered and the repair completed seven weeks later. A warning message appeared so briefly that I could not read it before the car failed completely.

Jul 11, 2025

I have a lease on a 2024 Hyundai Icoprniq 5. There is a recall due to ICCU issues. We had this car in service but it did not fix the issue. The car is now sitting dead in my driveway and will not move. Hyundai is refusing to do anything to fix the problem.

Jul 6, 2025

I had ICCU software recall done in spring 2025 then Vehicle died twice while driving on highway, ...suddenly. "warning 12 volt batt low pull over" stranding my family twice on highway. could not operate anything. Mc Govern Hyundai said it was fixed after 44 days. 2 days later failed again .dealer said it was ok again but would not replace ICCU or 12v batt. the amber light that indicates when !2v batt. is being charged would never come on. they said they found nothing wrong.

Jun 25, 2025

The car made a loud popping noise and immediately started displaying electrical system fault errors. The car propulsion stopped within 15 seconds and was not able to be moved after. I was on the freeway and just barely made it over to the side. Car was not able to be towed by a regular tow truck because the electrical system was gone and the car was not able to be shifted into neutral. Jump starting the battery did nothing. Car was sent to the dealer who confirmed that the car sustained an ICCU failure which controls the entire battery electric system. The ICCU had to be replaced. There is already a mandatory recall on the vehicle regarding the ICCU. The recall was to check the status and confirm that the ICCU was working properly and in good condition. I had this recall done BEFORE the ICCU failed, so even though the recall check was performed, the ICCU still failed and put me in a very dangerous situation. The car is 6 months old and has 6200 miles on the odometer.

Jun 22, 2025

Dear NHTSA, On [XXX] at [XXX] CST, my 2024 Hyundai Ioniq 5 SEL experienced a sudden ICCU failure. While reversing into my driveway, I heard a loud “pop,” followed by warning messages: “Stop vehicle and check power supply” and “Check electric vehicle system.” A DTC scan showed code P1A90(96). The car became inoperable and had to be towed to a Hyundai dealership. The dealer confirmed ICCU failure and replaced both the ICCU and fuse on 6/17/2025. However, the replacement was not a redesigned part—it was the same model that failed. I purchased this vehicle in March 2025 as a Certified Pre-Owned with ~12,000 miles. All recall-related ICCU updates had been completed before this incident. There were no warning signs before the failure. This failure could have been dangerous had it occurred on a highway, in extreme weather, or far from help with my [XXX] daughter with me. I no longer feel safe driving this car. Hyundai’s recall remedy is clearly not effective, and they continue replacing defective ICCUs with the same flawed units. They have not disclosed the root cause or implemented a permanent fix. I urge NHTSA to: Investigate ongoing ICCU failures despite recall compliance. Mandate a stop-sale of affected vehicles until a real fix is found. Require Hyundai to disclose the root cause. Consider a buyback program if no safe solution is available. This is a serious safety risk. These failures will continue without regulatory action.

I was driving on a highway during traffic on June 17 2025 and my ioniq 5 car started to make weird sound. Then after a minute, it abruptly started to push back and forth and the noise became stronger. A couple of minutes later, the "Check electrical vehicle system" sign was displayed on the screen. I pulled over due to the scare and turned off the car. A minute later, turned ON the car and drove. Same exact thing happened a day before too. This has not happened before since I got the car in Dec 2024. Car's battery was at 82%.

Jun 6, 2025

Got a “check electrical system” alert and then a “stop vehicle and check power supply” and “12V battery voltage low. Stop safely” before my car completely turned off. This started on May 30 and June 2nd 2025. Car was towed to the dealer and pending diagnostics.

Jun 5, 2025

Vehicle lost power on a two lane highway with a 55mph speed limit, which increased the risk of an accident. Warning lights appeared after the failure occurred; essentially giving the driver little to no warning. The vehicle kept slowing down to 30-25 mph, but fortunately close enough to home and was able to slowly roll into the garage. The vehicle was towed to the dealership and will take 2 months for the ICCU and ICCU fuse to be replaced due to backordered parts. This occurred after an ICCU update was done in 12/24.

May 19, 2025

On Monday May 12, 2025, while driving my Ioniq5 (2024) several warnings appeared concerning the EV electrical system. One warning dealt with 12 volt battery issue and other warning alerted the entire vehicle's electrical system was failing with instruction to stop driving vehicle immediately. I was out of town and my car was towed to local hyundai dealership. The problem appears to be a faulty ICCU component and parts have been ordered. Having my brand new EV turn off in traffic is scary and this experience has been frustrating and nerve wrecking. Knowing Hyundai was aware of this problem makes it even worse.

May 19, 2025

ICCU (Intergrated Charging Control Unit) failed after two mandatory recalls were completed. Vehicle is not drivable as it’s awaiting for a replacement ICCU (backordered). Replacement ICCU will not remedy the issue since it has not been improved upon from the original failure. Vehicle shutdown on a two lane highway with a 65mph speed limit. The section where the vehicle shutdown was without cellular service and on a bend with no shoulder, which increased the risk of an accident. The problem was reproduced in other vehicles using the same part. The component has been inspected by the manufacturer and dealer with a temporary remedy of replacement. Warning lights appeared after the failure occurred; essentially giving the driver no warning or time to react. The vehicle displayed a warning message to pull over and turn off vehicle immediately. Power was reduced to 15mph for about 15-20 minutes.

May 16, 2025

ECCU failure unexpectedly failed while driving . Failure occurred on busy road, car went from being able to drive to suddenly complete stop from the vehicle with no warning. Car was not able to restart after failure. Dealership confirmed ECCU failure

Apr 28, 2025

The Integrated Charging Control Unit failed while driving. The car went into limp mode and would not drive over 25 mph. The dealership confirmed the issue and the parts are on backorder for an undetermined amount of time.

Battery Drained

Apr 22, 2025

-The Integrated Charging Control Unit (ICCU) component failed. The vehicle experienced multiple electrical system warnings before losing functionality. The component should be available for inspection upon request. -The vehicle lost power while I was driving. The "Stop Vehicle" alert appeared, requiring me to immediately find a safe location. Had this happened in high-speed traffic or an unsafe environment, it could have led to an accident or left me stranded in a hazardous situation. -the problem has been confirmed by a dealer. The vehicle has been inspected by the dealership following the issue, but it has not been examined by other entities such as police or insurance representatives. -Yes, the “Check Electrical System” warning appeared twice briefly before disappearing weeks/months prior. However, no immediate issues followed those warnings at the time. The day of the failure, the "Check Electrical System" alert appeared again, followed by a "Stop Vehicle" warning a minute later. After pulling over safely, a "12V Battery Depletion" alarm also appeared.

Apr 14, 2025

Have gotten all recalls fixed associated with the ICCU; car has less than 15000 miles on it and suddenly lost power, “check electrical system” and “power limited” lights flashing. We had no warning prior, and had just arrived back 2 days before from a long road trip. While I’m glad it happened while close to home, we still had to have our vehicle towed to the dealership and it took 3 business days to diagnose the issue (ICCU failure). We were put at risk due to the sudden change of status and inability to access the contents of our car after the power died (including my toddlers car seat).

Apr 7, 2025

Car just died in the middle of a 3 lanes highway. It was the ICCU issue, barely any warning to stop and then when it died, no light, 4 way flasher or anything to communicate to other drivers about our disabled vehicle. It was 3:30 am in the morning, had to call Colorado Highway Patrol to come and help out while we waited for the tow truck. We found reports of the fail ICCU, this is something that can put any family in a very unsafe situation.

Apr 6, 2025

Error message indicate loss of charge capacity. Car slowed down, with enough range to pull off the road. Dealer indicates the integrated charge control unit (ICCU) failed, and quit charging the 12 volt system. Waiting for parts (1 month so far). Seems like the same issue reported under NHTSA recall 272 for the Ioniq 5 Does Hyundai have a list of failed ICCU’s, and whether there might be a batch of these units that are failing, or is this just a random occurrence?

Apr 3, 2025

The Integrated Charging Control Unit (ICCU) failed while I was driving to work. I was on the highway in the middle of a blizzard and the "Check Electric Vehicle Systems" warning popped up on my dash. It then when into a turtle mode and my car would no longer go above 15 - 20 mph. I had to exit the freeway very abruptly because my speed was dropping quickly. It was already extremely dangerous driving that day, this just added on top of it. It is available for inspection, it's been sitting at my dealership since March 6th because the ICCU is back ordered and there is no ETA when one will become available. The dealership has inspected and confirmed it is a faulty ICCU. There were no other problems with the car until the warning appeared on the dash. The ICCU has had 3 manufacturer recalls for the ICCU previously. Which I have gone in to the dealership for.

Mar 31, 2025

ICCU failed while driving. Causing the car to dangerously decelerate with little to no warning. The car then bricked itself on the side of the road. Diagnoses is a failed ICCU. This failure was insanely dangerous as the car lost all power and would not accelerate.

Mar 26, 2025

The contact owns a 2024 Hyundai Ioniq 5. The contact stated that while his wife was driving approximately 30 MPH, the vehicle started losing motive power. The contact’s wife depressed the accelerator pedal; however, the vehicle shifted to first or second gear and failed to accelerate above 20 MPH. The contact stated there were no warnings illuminated. The contact stated that his wife pulled into a parking lot and the vehicle lost electrical power and was unable to be restarted. The contact had the vehicle towed to a dealer. The dealer diagnosed the vehicle and informed the contact that the vehicle had had a failure of a part that was on a national back order. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 11,000.

Mileage: 11,000

Mar 24, 2025

On March 22, 2025, our 2022 Hyundai Ioniq 5 suffered a sudden, complete loss of power while driving at night, after receiving Hyundai’s recall service in January. While driving on city roads, the car displayed “Check Battery” errors despite the main EV battery showing ~75% charge. After stopping, we had AAA install a new 12V battery, which did not resolve the issue. Minutes later, while crossing a Y-shaped highway interchange, the car lost the ability to accelerate, leaving us stranded in a dangerous area. Hyundai Roadside Assistance gave an 89-minute ETA and failed to dispatch a tow capable of transporting our family of three. We were forced to call our insurance to tow the vehicle to safety. The car is now inoperable at a dealership. Hyundai has not followed up. This is a major safety concern — involving either the 12V system or software post-recall — and could impact other vehicles. Photos, screenshots, and documentation are available.

Feb 25, 2025

About 2 minutes after I started driving, I got a "Stop Vehicle and Check Power Supply" warning. The car slower to about 20 mph and would not go any faster. After returning home, I had the car towed to the dealership. Hyundai said that the ICCU unit failed. This was days after the same dealer performed recall work that was supposed to address ICCU issues.

Feb 19, 2025

Car had a warning Check Electrical System and the 12volt drained. ICCU Failed car undrivable.

ICCU failure

Feb 3, 2025

Started car and proceeded to drive to work. 1 mile from home, heard a "pop" noise and the car displayed "Check Electric Vehicle System" warning and went into a "turtle" mode that limited speed. Luckily I was on a side street and had not yet made the turn onto the main highway or it may have obstructed traffic or resulted in a crash. I was able to return home and have the car towed back to a Hyundai dealer for diagnosis and repair. The dealer identified the issue as the ICCU fuse and ICCU itself that needed replacing. All previous recalls and software updates were completed, including the latest ICCU recall (272?) which was completed on December 3. There have now been multiple software updates and recalls targeting this part, but it still resulted in the vehicle losing power and being inoperable.

Feb 2, 2025

Our 8-mo old 9800 mile Ioniq 5 failed to maintain its 12v battery while parked for a week. It was dead when we came back to it. Jump started successfully. I replaced the OEM battery with an AGM battery, which the car failed to maintain charge on after 2 weeks. At that time, while driving, the car displayed "Stop vehicle and check power supply" and "check vehicle electrical system." I had a battery monitor installed which showed the car only had 44% charge left in a new 12v battery. By the time we made it to the dealer 15 minutes away, the car was barely above 20% on its battery, and was about to stop on the road. The car has been diagnosed with an ICCU failure and replacement parts are 2+ months backordered. This car appears to brick itself without much warning to the driver -- and clearly Hyundai's software-only recalls are not fixing the root cause of this dangerous safety issue.

The contact owns a 2024 Hyundai Ioniq 5. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 24V868000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM); however, the part to do the recall repair was unavailable. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue. The contact had not experienced a failure. Parts distribution disconnect.

Dec 27, 2024

12V battery dead. It is only 5 months and the start battery is dead. I needed jump start and the problem reoccurring. I hear this is a common problem for all HI 5 models. So why it is not part of recall? Dealership is asking money for replacement. Repeated reoccurring dead battery issue.

Dec 27, 2024

Hyundai has installed faulty 12v batteries in the Ioniq 5 series cars. The OEM battery fails, resulting in an emergency stop or failure to start. Hyundai refuses to acknowledge the faulty batteries, yet the resolution found by numerous consumes to resolve the issue has been to purchase and install the correct 12v battery. Despite going to the dealership to seek a remedy, they refused to replace the faulty battery. They asked for the dead car to be towed into them, but Hyundai roadside assistance is unable to have towed a dead EV. 5 times the car died in the first 6 months of ownership. Hundreds if not thousands of US owners online have reported the faulty 12v issue to Hyundai, received no working repairs, and ultimately replaced their batteries at their cost.

Dec 15, 2024

Received orange warning “Power limited”. A minute or so later received RED warning “Stop vehicle and check power supply”. Less than a minute later the car stopped and turned off completely, even the HAZARD lights would not flash. Tow truck was unable to tow because the car could not be taken out of park, wheels locked. Also, as soon as the warnings started the power steering failed and the car was very difficult to maneuver. The combination of difficult maneuvering followed by unable to move could be VERY dangerous in the wrong situation.

Nov 19, 2024

Went to charge at AC charger and found that it would not charge. Tried another charger and same thing occurred. Car would say 0.3kW and than stop charging. Dealer said ICCU issue.

Oct 31, 2024

I received this car new on 9/2/2024. I was driving at the freeway speed of traffic on 9/5/2024 when there was a sudden alarm and warning lights flashing on the dashboard with a message that said “Stop vehicle and check brake system.” At this same time, the brakes stopped functioning normally, and I had to use extreme pressure with my foot pressing down on the brake pedal all the way to the floor to have the car slow down even marginally. All of this happened with traffic in front, behind, and on both sides of me going 65 mph! I was very luckily able to maneuver to the right lane and slowly decrease speed without getting rear-ended and without slamming into a car in front of me while going at high speed unable to stop. While waiting for a tow, I left the car on, as I slowly edged forward to a safer stopping location. The flashing red ring around the message to “stop vehicle and check brake system” remained, and then just after moving forward, another message with an amber circle around it said “Check ABS system.” This latter message stayed on for only a short time, then was replaced by the initial message. I had the car towed to the dealership, and their assessment was that there was a failure of the IEP module that communicates between aspects of the braking system. The final service report is attached, confirming the need for replacement of the IEP assembly. I was very lucky to come away from this event with nothing more than a very frightening experience. I hope that this report will initiate a recall to prevent a similar situation happening to someone else, and hopefully avoid tragedy involving serious injury or death.

I was driving on the highway and a message appeared that said “check electrical system”. The power in the car then completely bottomed out and I could not go above 25 mph.

I am writing to report serious issues with my 2024 Hyundai Ioniq 5 SEL, purchased on May 24, 2024, with approximately 3,000 miles driven. These problems have raised significant concerns about the vehicle's reliability and safety. The first incident occurred on July 22, 2024. I attempted to start the car in my driveway, and while the engine turned on, the vehicle suddenly lost power, and all electrical components became non-functional. There were no error messages, and the display showed all systems as normal. It seemed to function normally after turning the vehicle off and on again, but this unexpected power loss was alarming. The problems continued today, August 3, 2024. At around 8 AM, when I tried to start the car again, the system flickered twice and then shut off entirely. I contacted roadside assistance, and the car required a battery charge for about six hours before it could start again. This evening, while driving at approximately 15 miles per hour in my subdivision, the vehicle suddenly lost power after only a few minutes. This abrupt power loss posed a significant safety risk, and I was fortunate to avoid an accident. I contacted the dealer who sold me the vehicle, but they informed me that they could do nothing remotely and advised me to have the car towed to their location. It is extremely concerning and frustrating to encounter such severe issues with a new vehicle. Given the repeated and unpredictable nature of these problems, I urge Hyundai to take immediate action to investigate and resolve these issues. I am also concerned that other owners may be experiencing similar problems, indicating a potential widespread issue with this model. I am seeking urgent assistance to address these issues and ensure the safety and reliability of my vehicle. Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter.

Aug 2, 2024 Crash

Backing vehicle out of driveway and went to engage brakes and they did not engage. began rolling backwards down street with steep grade. Kept stepping on brakes with no response. Had to turn into a parked vehicle to keep from rolling down steep grade and potentially off a substantial cliff. Happened today and dealership said that it may be because the "battery for the brake" had not received a charge from the main battery. Very dangerous and never disclosed. If I had not taken evasive action I could have easily been killed. Car is being dropped off at collision center today but is available for inspection. There were no warnings or other symptoms.

Auto lost all power. No instruments visible. Propulsion system would not charge. Thankfully vehicle at a stop when occurred. Unable to drive. Car as dead as a home in a power outage. Everything dark. Nothing electrical worked. Had to use emergency manual key to enter vehicle. Tow truck driver said this was the 4th Hyundai Ioniq 5 he towed that week. All dead. Car at dealer awaiting diagnostics, which because of backlog, could take 3 or 4 weeks.

My vehicle was 4 weeks old. On Friday 6/28/24, my vehicle displayed the following message on the dashboard, "Check Brake System". It disappeared later, and reappeared on the next day. I checked Hyundai's app, Bluelink. There was a alert on Bluelink, "Attention Needed". I opened the alert and it said that there was a Diagnostic Trouble Code, DTC C123501, that originated on 6/30/24. I took the vehicle to the dealership, Hyundai of North Miami, on the next business day, [XXX]. That morning, [XXX], as I started the vehicle, as I stepped on the brake to start the vehicle, the brake was considered "softer" than it was prior and I could feel the brake pedal go nearly all the way down to the base of the vehicle floor. On [XXX] they informed me that the ICCU needed to be replaced. They said that they hoped to have the ability to order the part on 7/5/24, as the computer system needed to do so was not working, and the part could potentially arrive in approximately 1 week.

1. Uncertain which part failed. 2. safety was put at risk due to car not able to accelerate. Car would not go over 20 miles an hour on the interstate access road where traffic was going by at 50 –60 mph - four-way flashers were on and had to pull off at the first available turn but it was scary 3. Contacted local Hyundai; they are investigating a possible loaner, but haven’t said what they will do. 4. No inspections yet. 5. No warning or unusual events prior to lack of power/lack of acceleration. 6. Internet search showed that this problem has occurred to others.
