2023 Hyundai Ioniq 5

There is a yellow air bag (SRS) safety restraint critical wire harness underneath the seats and it's loose and hanging down touching the floor with lots of slack, very easy for a water bottle or any object to roll under there and pull it loose, which would disable a critical passenger safety system. This issue is reported by many drivers including myself, photos attached are from multiple people's experiences with this issue.

The vehicle repeatedly displays a "Stop Vehicle and Check Brake System" warning together with an ABS warning, accompanied by a loss of normal braking response. On XXX, while driving at approximately 60 mph on I-85 northbound near Exit XXX in [XXX], the warnings appeared and the brakes did not respond normally. I was maintaining a substantial following distance, and the braking system restored itself before I reached the point of needing to brake hard, so no crash or injury occurred. Had hard braking been required in that window, I do not believe the vehicle would have stopped as commanded. This is a recurring fault. The vehicle, purchased certified pre-owned and still under the Hyundai factory warranty, has been taken to the dealer (Ed Voyles Hyundai, [XXX]) three times for the same condition. On the first visit the Integrated Electronic Brake (IEB) unit was replaced; on the second, the Smart Junction Box was replaced; on the third, the dealer removed an aftermarket tracking device wired to the data link connector and referenced Hyundai TSB 24-GI-011H, representing the problem as corrected. The braking-loss event on XXX occurred after that repair. The vehicle has been out of service approximately 30 days total. Because the failure is an intermittent loss of braking response at highway speed, I consider it a serious safety hazard and no longer drive the vehicle.

The ioniq 5 highway driving assist, which steers the car and keeps it centered in the lane, will disengage without clear warning - the small green steering wheel icon (which is at the top of the dash cluster) simply becomes grey and blinks, but there's no audible chime to indicate that the car has disengaged the steering assist. I have had multiple times on the highway where it disengaged and I don't notice (because I am looking at the road, not the dash) and one time on the highway it disengaged during a turn and hit the rumble strip, causing me to swerve back onto the road. My hands were on the steering wheel and I was paying full attention, but I was expecting the car to handle the turn, and it just disengaged without me noticing. Had there been another car in the middle lane or I reacted slower, it's likely a crash would have occurred. This has been documented as well on Reddit and confirmed by multiple owners, who have mentioned they have disclosed to the manufacturer: [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

1. What component failed, and is it available for inspection? The Integrated Charging Control Unit (ICCU) failed. The vehicle is currently at the dealer's service center, so the failed component is available for inspection upon request. 2. How was your safety or others' safety put at risk? After parking and re-entering the vehicle following a grocery stop, the vehicle displayed "Check Vehicle Electrical System" followed by "Check Vehicle Power Supply" warnings. This occurred without warning while the vehicle was in normal use, and the vehicle had to be towed since it was no longer driveable. The sudden, unannounced failure of the electrical/power system created a risk of being stranded in traffic or in an unsafe location had the failure occurred while driving rather than while parked. 3. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? Yes. The vehicle was towed to the dealer's service center, where the Hyundai-certified service technician confirmed the ICCU failed and informed us it needs replacement. 4. Has the vehicle been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives, or others? The vehicle has been inspected by the dealer's Hyundai-certified service technician, who confirmed the ICCU failure. No additional inspection by Hyundai corporate, police, or insurance representatives has occurred at this time. 5. Were there any warning lamps, messages, or other symptoms prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? No warning lamps or messages appeared prior to the incident. The first symptoms were the "Check Vehicle Electrical System" and "Check Vehicle Power Supply" messages, which appeared suddenly upon re-entering the vehicle after a grocery stop, approximately one week after purchase (used) at roughly 8,000 miles.

OnXXX, as we approached what I call the 6 o’clock position of a round-about in [XXX], we had braked almost to a full stop (0-5 mph) to wait on the car ahead of us to enter the round-about when we felt increasing movement. Despite braking, to wait on that car, our car with increasing speed started shoving that car into the circle. Fortunately, he was able to drive away from us, but that car had been damaged on the back and right side. With that obstacle out of the way, our car rapidly and exponentially increased speed - all while we were fully braking. Two witnesses said they saw our brake lights as we sped along. We hit the curb as we approached the 12 o’clock exit, and that turned us so that we crossed both lanes of the road and headed towards the far sidewalk and storefronts. When we hit that curb it pushed us diagonally to face the street again. Hard to estimate but we must have been doing 50 mph when we hit a very large brick planter and we finally were wedged to a stop when we slammed in between two vehicles parked parallel to the sidewalk. The motor ran for a few seconds after we stopped, and finally quit on its own. We KNOW the brake was applied the whole time; there were no visual or audible alarms from the car as we entered “UNINTENDED ACCELERATION”. Despite the incredibly strong impact (our car has been deemed totaled) the front air bags did not deploy. Only the driver’s side curtain deployed. The bumper of the parked transport van on our front left was damaged, and the small SUV on our front right was deemed totaled. No people were in those two parked cars; the first car was hit at the initial slower speed so those people were not injured. By some grace, no pedestrians were in our path or they would surely have been killed. The driver of our car (my husband) was miraculously not injured, but CT scans and x-rays showed I had several contusions and a fractured tibia that will require surgery due to brake, propulsion, no air bags.

Car indicated 12v battery was critically low and that I should stop safely. I was just starting it in a parking lot. This is a classic ICCU failure and the car is up to date on all recall updates. The car requires manual key unlocking for outside access at this point, and the rear hatch is only unlockable using the manual release mechanism which is recessed into the rear hatch and needs the key. The back two doors cannot be opened at all, from either direction and the handles don't work when the electrical system has failed and the child lock was engaged accidentally when it happened. This legitimately terrifies me for anyone traveling with back seat passengers who need quick exit. There isn't one.

The Integrated Charging Control Unit (ICCU) failed on my 2023 Hyundai Ioniq 5. The vehicle stopped charging prematurely overnight via AC Level 2 charging and then refused to charge again at all. The ICCU is responsible for maintaining the 12V battery by topping it up during normal operation. No warning or check engine light came on, I was only made aware when I attempted L2 charging and the car would refuse to take the charge. I understand that with a failed ICCU, if I'm unaware of the failure (e.g., relies solely on DC fast charging which bypasses the ICCU), the 12V battery can deplete without warning while the vehicle is in motion, potentially causing sudden loss of vehicle systems including power steering, brakes, and other safety-critical electronics. The vehicle was parked at the time charging failure was discovered. No injuries occurred.

My Hyundai IONIQ 5 has repeatedly lost 12V power and shut down. The vehicle had to be jumped by AAA multiple times. After being restarted, it died again, and after two days of use it was dead again. I am concerned this is related to the known ICCU / 12V battery charging issue affecting IONIQ 5 vehicles, which can cause loss of motive power or make the vehicle undrivable. The vehicle is currently at Hyundai Southern States in Raleigh, NC for diagnosis and repair.

On XXXXX, while parked at a campsite approximately two hours from my home, the vehicle displayed an “electrical failure” warning on the dashboard. The vehicle had been parked for less than 20 minutes when this issue occurred. I contacted Hyundai customer support that same evening to report the problem (Case #XXXXXX). On April 4, 2026, the vehicle was towed via Hyundai roadside assistance to Winner Hyundai in Dover, Delaware, where Tracy is my current point of contact. This situation left my family of four, along with our belongings and pet, stranded without transportation. Despite significant effort, we were unable to secure a rental vehicle in the Dewey Beach area, even after contacting multiple rental agencies and the dealership directly. This was later resolved, and I am currently in a rental through Enterprise; however, the stress and uncertainty of potentially being stranded was significant and unacceptable. While at the dealership, my wife witnessed the tow operator unloading the vehicle without proper equipment to safely lower it. As a result, the vehicle’s hitch made forceful contact with the pavement and became lodged. Multiple dealership employees observed the incident. After considerable effort to free the vehicle, it was released abruptly and rolled into another vehicle on the lot, causing additional damage. An argument then occurred between the dealership owner and the tow operator, which my wife was forced to witness.

Crash

On 11/7/25 , we were driving my 2023 Hyundai Ioniq 5 to a friend's home in rural [XXX] , a trip of approximately 160 miles. At around 5:00 PM, we stopped about halfway to our destination to charge the battery. The car would not charge above 47%. While we continued to attempt to charge the battery, the console displayed a Check Electrical System Warning message, and we received the DTC P1AA700 via BlueLink. We were concerned about our safety on the drive up to the mountains. We were afraid the car would stop running on the highway and cause an accident. We were also concerned the car would die in a remote area and we would be stranded. However, the dealership was closed for the weekend. We drove carefully to our friend's home. I contacted Stevens Creek Hyundai on 11/10/25 and arranged to bring the car in on 11/11/25. It had 13,652 miles on it at that time. Eventually, the dealer confirmed the DTC P1AA700 and said they would need to order a new EGMP battery. The car was in the shop for 128 days, waiting for Hyundai to "build a battery" in [XXX] . Eventually, Stevens Creek Hyundai replaced the EV battery and I picked up the car. Given the delay in repairing my car and the growing evidence of Hyundai battery failures, we wanted to report this problem to the authorities.

I am writing to notify you of an Integrated Charging Control Unit (ICCU) failure on my 2023 Hyundai Ioniq 5, purchased in October of 2023. While driving home on March 4 2026, the dashboard displayed the warning "Check vehicle electrical system," and then a "pull over safely" warning. I had to leave the vehicle in a parking lot and walk home. It was towed to a dealer on March 5, 2026 to diagnose and repair the problem. The car has just under 17000 miles on it. I was told the dealer was swamped with Ioniqs with this problem and had no ETA for parts. Fortunately they will be able to repair our car next week. Hyundai claims the replacement part has been redesigned to address the problem. Interestingly, I'm reading that Hyundai has issued a recall for some vehicles of this make and model year for this very serious issue; mind bogglingly we received no such notice.

The vehicle is a Hyundai Ioniq 5 electric vehicle. There have been known issues with the integrated charging control unit (ICCU) failing suddenly rendering the car inoperative; I just took it to the dealer and they confirmed a fault with the ICCU. I am up to date with multiple prior ICCU recalls and updates. Leading up to this, a few months ago my 12V battery died unexpectedly at ~22000 miles and I had it replaced. The ICCU charges the 12v battery so I wondered if there was an ICCU issue but the car otherwise was operating fine. Overnight while charging with a level 1 charger at home recently, the car stopped charging overnight unexpectedly. A couple days later I plugged in to charge at home again and got a message "charging unsuccessful", and on the dash I received a message that said "check electrical vehicle system" which went away when I unplugged the car. I tried a different level 1 charger from my wife's car and received the same "charging unsuccessful" message. Interestingly that charger no longer seems to work on her car, so it's possible that my car damaged the charging unit. I then went to try a level 2 charger maintained by the city of Seattle which was operative and had power when I plugged in. On plugging in, I received the same "charging unsuccessful" message and then the light on the level 2 charger went off and the level 2 charing unit lost power. Again, it appears that the fault on my car may have damaged an external charging unit. Thankfully I was still able to drive the car to the dealer where the ICCU failure was confirmed and am in the process of replacing it (they don't have the parts in house and told me the current wait is less than a week though previously had been sometimes months). A service rep told me many customers had the failure happen suddenly with a loud "pop" while the car was in motion causing them to limp to the side of the road or leaving them stranded.

I started the car and put down all 4 windows simultaneously. I heard a pop and a dash warning "Check electrical system". I knew this is symptomatic of an ICCU failure and the car will not be driveable for very far. This happened despite having recall work performed for this specific issue in September. That recall work was just a software update, but it is a hardware problem. Hyundai needs to fix the hardware problem. If this had happened when I was at a remote trailhead without cell service I likely would have been stranded. Fortunately I was able to drive 1-2 miles home and get the car towed. I was without a car for 4 days until Hyundai could get me a loaner vehicle. Unknown how long repair will take. Unknown what reliability will be after repair, if they just replace the ICCU with another that has the same potential fault.

On Sunday, March 1, 2026, my vehicle suddenly malfunctioned while I was driving. The car abruptly lost power, would not accelerate beyond 25 miles per hour, and then completely shut down within minutes. This left me stranded on the roadside off the highway, which was both dangerous and extremely distressing. The vehicle was towed to the dealership, and it has now been four days with no updates regarding the diagnosis, repair plan, or estimated timeline. I have repeatedly attempted to get information but have received no meaningful communication. This situation is unacceptable for a relatively new vehicle and raises serious safety concerns. In addition, I rely on this vehicle daily and am currently without transportation.

I own a 2023 Hyundai Ioniq 5 that experienced a battery failure while still under warranty. The vehicle became completely undriveable in late November 2025 and had to be towed to a Hyundai dealership. The vehicle has now been sitting at the dealership for more than 90 days waiting for a replacement battery with no repair completion date provided. The dealership indicated that the required battery component is unavailable or on extended backorder. While a loaner vehicle was provided, the original vehicle remains unusable for an extended period due to a major battery defect. This raises concerns about reliability and the availability of critical components needed to repair electric vehicles when failures occur.

My wife was driving our Ioniq 5 on the freeway. She received a message on the dash about the electrical system (probably ICCU failure), and then the car limited itself ("turtle mode") so that the max speed was 20mph. A minute or two later it slowed down even further to 10mph. She was able to get off the freeway safely.
