2022 Hyundai Ioniq 5 power train problems

“The Integrated Charging Control Unit (ICCU) has failed repeatedly on this vehicle. It has been replaced three times by Haselwood Hyundai dealer since the vehicle was purchased new in 2021. Dates: 9/8/2023, 12/19/2024, 9/30/2025 at approximately 17k, 35k, and 50k miles. Each failure presents the same way: the ICCU stops charging the 12V battery from the high-voltage pack, the 12V drains, and warning messages appear on the dash: Check Electric Vehicle System. The vehicle then loses power or will not start and becomes inoperable [on numerous occasions the vehicle lost power/would not start at, leaving family occupants stranded. The vehicle also required jump starts on at least 25 occasions. Safety risk: an ICCU failure can disable the vehicle without meaningful warning. A loss of 12V power affects power steering assist, braking assist, hazard lights, and airbag readiness, and has left us stranded away from home as the car has to be jumped every time. Each failure was diagnosed and confirmed by a Hyundai dealer, which replaced the ICCU under warranty. Repair orders documenting all three replacements are available on request; the replaced units were retained by the…”

“This report is an addendum to report 11762283 that was made yesterday. The vehicle allows driving with the rear liftgate ajar, however under some circumstances it engages the EPB when the vehicle comes to a stop while the gear state is still Drive. The gear state of the car remains in Drive when the EPB engages. This presents the driver with the choice, in the middle of the road and possibly in the middle of an intersection, of either exiting the vehicle and rearranging contents of the vehicle to allow the rear liftgate to close, or activating the accelerator to continue driving with the traction motor overpowering clamped EPB. Neither option is safe. I have attempted to reproduce this unsafe state of the vehicle and was successful in one case and unsuccessful in another. My hypothesis for the differentiating factor is the top speed reached prior to decelerating to a stop: in the first case, 13mph, and in the second, 15mph. I have attached a single frame from one of two videos, of the successful case. The instrument display shows gear state is Drive, the car is moving, high torque is being applied by the traction motors (but typically the screen center shows…”

“2022 Ioniq 5 SE. ICCU failed April 2026 with around 29325 miles. Original owner. Purchased June 2022. I had the original Recall 272 software update performed back in February 2025, but the hardware still failed a year later. **Timeline of Failure:** 1. **Phase 1 (The Trigger):** Level 2 charging stopped unexpectedly before reaching the limit. It tripped my house breaker and unfortunately killed my Level 2 EVSE (Grizzl-E) with a stuck relay. Didn't think too much of it because I had to be somewhere. Car started up normally and I was able to drive throughout the day with no problems. 2. **Phase 2 (The Warning):** The next day, I attempted Level 1 charging. It immediately tripped the breaker. I tried another outlet on a different breaker; the breaker didn't trip, but the car failed to initiate a charge after three attempts. 3. **Phase 3 (Dashboard Error):** After third failed attempt with the L1, I took a peek inside and saw the dashboard had a yellow triangle. With the charger still plugged in, I sat in the driver's seat and turned the car on. The **"Check EV System"** error appeared. I turned off the car and went inside to call the dealer. I called the dealer…”

“The car lost power while driving and an electrical warning was displayed on the screen. The issue was later diagnosed as a failure of the ICCU and blown fuse that had been previously recalled and replaced. Now it needs to be replaced again.”

“Finished charge, low battery indicator on the dashboard. started to drive, within mile "pull over immediatedly" well documented and continued flaw with vechile ICCU component (that I had the software "patches" applied). Car will no longer accept charge (so now has the remaining charge before being a 3 ton brick) and cannot not be driven as if the 12v battery loses charge (which it will) I will lose powersteering and brakes.”

“ICCU failure occurred while vehicle was operating at 30 MPH, after being charged the night prior and unplugged in the morning at 100% capacity. A sudden pop was heard, and the vehicle indicated that an electrical fault would require the vehicle to be shut down as soon as safely possible. The vehicle went into limp mode and would not exceed 25 MPH.”
