Electrical system
10 reports
“Integrated Charging Control Unit (ICCU) failed while driving. Heard a pop from below the rear seats. "Check vehicle electrical system" message popped up initially, then changed to "Stop vehicle and check power supply" Vehicle could not exceed 20mph directly after failure, then lost all driving power just as I pulled the vehicle off the road. If I hadn't found a place to pull over in time, the car would have stopped in the middle of the road putting my safety and the safety of others at risk. Dealer inspected and took over a month to replace ICCU and 12v battery.”
Vehicle speed control
6 reports
“Driving under normal conditions, heard a “pop” near the rear of the car and within seconds had an immediate loss of power. The dashboard had lit up with “Check electric vehicle system” and was limited to 20 MPH on a 45 MPH road with no safe place to stop. Was able to limp car home, dealer confirmed ICCU was faulty and had to be replaced. My family was very very lucky to not be on a highway when this occurred. Hyundai has continuously failed to not only fix the ICCU issues with this vehicle, but also hasn’t extended the warranty on the faulty component here in the US like they’ve done in Asian markets. As a consumer, I’m begging the NHTSA to hold Hyundai accountable for these ongoing EV issues.”

“While driving home, I experienced a sudden and complete power system failure in my Hyundai Ioniq 5 N. The failure occurred shortly after starting the drive, and was preceded by a faint "pop" sound. Within moments, the dashboard displayed the following critical warnings: Red 12V battery icon Red warning: "Stop vehicle and check power supply" Turtle icon (indicating limp mode / low power) Brake warning light ️ The vehicle immediately entered limp mode, then fully lost power within approximately 3 minutes. I was able to safely pull into a nearby parking space before total shutdown and loss of power. Restarting the vehicle had no effect.”
