2022 HYUNDAI IONIQ 5 Complaints

Ok.... So, if anyone reads about Hyundai Electric line.... Ionic series... they would know that since Day 1, Hyundai has had problems with their electrical system. It 1st started with the system never charged the onboard standard 12V battery. I had to purchase Jumpstart boxes, I couldn't run my car ever on acc bc since day 1, my car has never been charging the onboard 12v battery. This caused me to not be able to start my car on more than 5 occasions. I had to ask strangers for help at times, locked out of my car on the side of the street, in parking lots, driving to Auto Zone after a complete trickle charge didn't work bc battery is so drained. During this drive, my cars safety features wouldn't work correctly, everything blinking and i had to make it to Auto Zone to have to buy a new GSM battery. I feared for my life on that drive. Certainly a safety issue. When I asked Hyundai on numerous occasions, they said there's no way for us to test if the recall fix we did actually is helping the issue. So I had to buy my own DC volt meter. I took that car in 4 times to deal with this issue. Now, after my last visit to Holler Hyundai in Winter Park a few months ago, now my car won't charge at home. I tested it with the 2nd charger. F2 fault code on standard home charger. Red lights on my ChargePoint charger. Car charges fine at DC Supercharger (6 times as expensive). I have told Daytona Hyundai multiple times (General Manager knows me) about how I have taken this in to have this problem fixed on many occasions. The GM said he apologizes, doesn't know why it wasn't fixed, they were unprofessional aside from him making many mistakes. The original dealer i bought it from was a bad experience and I do not trust them at all and would not buy from them ever again. I have video and pics of spiders in my car/roaches, etc. Dealership didn't even respond after I emailed them pics. I have bought and owned over 30 cars. This definately needs attention

Car started issuing a burning smell, emitting a noxious burning smell through the air vents making it impossible to drive with the windows closed. The HVAC system had to be shut off. The Ioniq 5 and all E-GMP Hyundai vehicles have known issues with the charging port and ICCU (integrated charging control unit). This vehicle has had all previous recalls related to charging and the ICCU addressed, but it has still resulted in failure of the vehicle charging port. Dealership stated charging port needed to be replaced, but stated it would not be covered under warranty with now explanation provided despite the fact that this is still covered under several recalls.

The Hyundai Ioniq 5 would not charge, so I could not drive it. Got it to Hyundai for a diagnosis and as of now they are saying it is part number # 36400-1xAA0 ICCU ASSY and part number # 375F2-GI040 FUSE-HIGH VOLTAGE.

The ICCU in the car failed. It immediately limited the speed of the vehicle to 25mph. There were no warnings, it happened all at once. I had to drive on the shoulder of the interstate to the next exit. Obviously, driving 25 on the shoulder while cars passed me at 65+ was not a safe situation.

Interior driver's side door handle broke off. The driver cannot open the door without lowering the window (electrically operated) and reaching outside to pull the exterior door handle. The car must remain of to do this (if off, the window cannot be lowered). I deem this to be extremely dangerous in the event of an accident when the car cannot be started; the driver is stuck in the car.

My EV’s ICCU failed. It has since been fixed and is not available for inspection. Yes, my safety was at risk because my speed was suddenly limited away from home and I had to get my family home. After a wait of about 3.5 weeks, the dealer confirmed it was an ICCU failure and replaced the ICCU about one week after that. There were no warnings until the failure occurred. I believe Hyundai’s ICCU problems are well-known, but want NHTSA to be aware.

ICCU failed while driving. Risk was that I suddenly had to pull over safely, as my car would no longer accelerate. This is a known issue, yet they haven’t fully addressed it over years. I had it taken in for recall fixes, and the part still failed 2 weeks later. There was no warning before it happened. But failure signs appeared after.

Over the two years I have owned this vehicle I have had to replace the windshield three times. I am on my fourth windshield and have three chips/crack already. I have never experience crack/chips like this or at this frequency. I am at a point where I am concerned the getting my windshield replace will cause my insurance to increase because the frequency and expense. Because of have a heads up display the windshield cost up to $1,500 to replace and calibrate. I drive my vehicle on paved roads and the highway only. There are many reports online for similar issues.

The ICCU on my 2022 IONIQ 5 SE AWD failed during (or immediately after) using a public Level 2 ChargePoint charger.

My vehicle was affected by Recall 272 and in December 2024 only the software for the ICCU was updated. Now the ICCU is bad and Hyundai wants to give the run around and say that my vehicle wasn't affected by the recall. It clearly was and they need to make it right. My car is currently sitting at the dealership that I bought it from and I feel like they are not trying to do anything to help. I have called each day to get an update and all I get it, "we are still waiting". I am beyond frustrated at this point.
