2022 HYUNDAI IONIQ 5 Complaints

My vehicle experienced a failure of the Integrated Charging Control Unit (ICCU), which rendered the vehicle inoperable and required towing to the dealer, where the ICCU failure was confirmed and the vehicle remains available for inspection. The failure created a safety risk due to sudden loss of drivability and the potential for the vehicle to stop unexpectedly. The dealer has stated there is no estimated time of arrival for the replacement ICCU and no loaner vehicle has been provided. A similar ICCU failure occurred approximately one year ago (February 2025) and was repaired within one week, which is why it was not previously reported. Warning messages and drivability issues appeared prior to the failure.

I am writing to report a serious safety incident involving my 2022 Hyundai Ioniq 5 and to request a thorough investigation and guidance on next steps. On Jan. 3, 2026, at approximately 6:15 p.m. on a snowy day, we parked our car in the driveway of a weekend rental home near Lake Tahoe, CA. The driveway had a slight slope toward the house, and we backed the car down the driveway with the rear of the car facing the house. My husband turned off the car, then all five occupants exited the vehicle, closed the doors, and began unloading items from the trunk. The car began rolling backwards toward us and the house. It only stopped after pinning my husband into a snowbank created by a snowplow. The other three adults and our [XXX] niece narrowly avoided being struck. While pinned behind the vehicle, my husband had to dig out some snow to reach into his pants pocket and retrieve the key fob. I then moved the car forward a few feet to free him. Although he was pinned in the snow, my husband was (thankfully) not seriously injured. After freeing my husband, I put the car in Park and turned it off. In this model, the parking brake engages automatically; there is no separate parking brake button or lever. A few minutes later, without anyone in or near the vehicle, the car again rolled backwards down the driveway into the same snowbank. Tracks in the snow clearly indicate that the wheels rotated and the car rolled; it was not sliding on ice with the brakes applied. In other words, the parking brake and/or Park mechanism failed to hold the vehicle in place in sub freezing, snowy conditions. The temperature at this location and time was in the mid 20s °F. After returning home from our trip, we took the car to our Hyundai service center, which has performed all maintenance since we purchased it in 2022. The service center performed all standard diagnostics but was unable to replicate the failure conditions. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

This is an EV vehicle. This is a recurrent problem with the Ioniq 5 and is all over the internet. For me this is the 2nd electrical failure. The first time the accessory batter failed and the ICCU controller failed and had to be replaced. Now its at the shop for the 2nd time for the same failure. Not sure if its the ICCU again or not. In and of itself not a problem to send it off to fix, The major issue is how it fails. There is no warning, If you are on the highway going 70 mph it goes flat... no propulsion. This gives you no or little power to get to a secure spot. It then is only capable of about 20 mph. This is dangerous as hell. The first time it died completely and wouldn't move. For myself, i was lucky i was on a local road. I was driving. For my wife, who drives this car it would be harrowing. This is a recurring problem with this vehicle. A solution has not been found other than to swap parts. Hyundai need to be put on notice for a permanent fix.

The ICCU on this vehicle has been replaced twice, 10/25 and 1/26. The failure of the unit on stopped any movement of the car,leaving me stranded on busy highways. I have had all software updates performed prior to these failures

To my understand, the ICCU keeps shutting down and is causing issues with my car? This is apparently a huge issue with a bunch of Hyundai's from 2022.

While driving home, first "Check EV system" error came on and then "STOP VEHICLE - POWER SYSTEM FAILURE"; it was continuing to drive but would then not go above 25 mph. I pulled car over at next exit and had it towed to the dealership. It was not safe to drive at 25mph on a 45mph roadway. The dealership has confirmed problem with ICCU relay and 12V battery. This is the 2nd time this vehicle has had an ICCU problem.

My 2022 Hyundai Ioniq 5 has experienced two ICCU (Integrated Charging Control Unit) failures, both completely immobilizing the vehicle. •First failure: November 2024 •Second failure: December 31, 2025 (confirmed by dealer 1/13/26) •Downtime: Over 45 days total •All recall work and maintenance were performed at the same Hyundai dealer, under active warranty, but the recall did not prevent the second failure. Safety Risk: These ICCU failures cause sudden loss of propulsion, leaving the vehicle stranded and creating a serious safety hazard. The second failure after recall indicates the repair is inadequate. Luckily mine failed at home before departing for an errand, but I am gravely concerned about others not as fortunate or for myself should the issue recur while I am traveling on a public road. Examples of this are reported online in a variety of forums. Widespread Issue: Thousands of owners report similar ICCU failures, often after recall repairs, on forums and social media. There is also ongoing Canadian litigation addressing the same defect. Requested Action: •Investigate repeated ICCU failures in Hyundai/Kia EVs •Evaluate the adequacy of recall repairs •Require Hyundai to implement a permanent fix •Take appropriate safety action to protect vehicle owners

Intergrated Charging Control Unit has failed. This is a safety related issue because it’s failure can make the vehicle immediately inoperable which does not allow the driver any time to safely pull to the should have the roadway.

I have owned the car for less than 2 years and it has had 2 ICCU units put in it under warranty. I'm worried about the viability of the car after the warranty runs out. I would hope that given the problems with this component that Hyundai will help customers with this known problem.

On October 16th our ICCU blew. I know Hyundai says this only affects 1% of vehicles, but the 2 people we also know with the same car have had the same failure, so this seems impossible so I wanted to report it. - The ICCU broke and fuse blew while charging. It blew while charging at 24 amps and actually blew the adjacent breaker as well in our panel. - The ICCU and main fuse were confirmed to be blown by the dealer in October. - There were no symptoms or warning lights most of the time; it just blew our panel breaker and would no longer AC charge. While trying to charge it, it did briefly show an electrical vehicle system error code, but when we turned it off and back on it went away. - My understanding is that with a blown fuse and ICCU it does not charge the 12v battery, so while we could drive the car and not even realize there was a problem, the battery could die while driving and create a very unsafe situation.
