What 399 owners told NHTSA about the 2022 Hyundai Ioniq 5 Bev

The car would not charge. The Dealership where the car was bought assessed the problem and found out that the Integrated Charging Control Unit (ICCU) of the car had failed. They already replaced the component, however I am reporting this problem so as to be included in the statistics for this common problem with this Hyundai make.

While charging at home with provided Level 1 Charger, the vehicle will suddenly stop charging. When it stops, it appears to be surging an electrical charge back into the home (black marks on outlets requiring an electrician to replace, black marks on the charger plug, and most recently, threw a breaker on our home electrical panel). This is a fire hazard.

I was coasting into a library parking space with my foot off the accelerator. The car accelerated even with my foot on the brake, jumped a curb and was stopped with above ground tree roots. The dashboard should have been lighted up with collision warning indicators and the automatic braking should have engaged. It did none of that. The car was totaled. Nothing was ever checked to see if it was a mechanical error. My insurer totaled the car.

Iccu failure for the 3rd time

NHTSA ODI 11696642

My ioniq 5 has had the ICCU and 12V battery replaced in April, due to ICCU failure. Since then on two separate occasions the car has drained the 12V battery while parked. Both times were shortly after driving the car, so the 12V battery should have been fully charged. I believe multiple recall campaigns have been made related to this issue, but my car still appears to exhibit the symptoms after receiving the updates. * I believe the ICCU software is faulty and is not correctly charging the 12V battery. * This fault makes the car likely to strand my family unexpectedly (a safety issue), as it affects even the newly replaced 12V battery. * I have not taken this vehicle back to the dealership since the ICCU was replaced, since the 12V battery has only drained twice since then, I feel like it is unlikely they will be able to reproduce the issue. * No warning lamps or fault codes stored in the ECU.

Despite being up-to-date on recalls for this vehicle intended to address failures with the integrated charging control unit (ICCU), I still experienced an ICCU failure. I was driving along a surface road at approximately 40 mph for about 9 minutes when I heard a pop that sounded like cargo shifting in the rear cargo area. The vehicle then flashed a "Check EV System" warning but otherwise continued to operate normally. About 2 minutes later, there was a warning to stop vehicle and check power supply. After I pulled into a parking lot, I restarted the vehicle, but the errors persisted. I had the vehicle towed to the dealer, where it was diagnosed as an ICCU failure. The vehicle was last charged ~15 hours before the failure on a level 2 charger at a peak rate of 6 kw. The vehicle was driven for about an hour after charging, sat overnight, before being driven when the failure occurred. The vehicle is primarily charged using level 1 and 2 charging, typically not exceeding 6.3 kw. Only a handful of times has level 2 charging rates exceeded 6.3 kw. The vehicle previously had the ICCU fail and replaced in 2023. The car is still at the dealership with no repair timeline.

For the check electrical warning. Took to dealer and they diagnosed it as a failed ICCU. In another issue, smelling sharpie from the air vent. Which might indicate a HVAC issue.

The Integrated Charging Control Unit (ICCU) in my 2022 Hyundai Ioniq has not been diagnosed or repaired despite being at the dealership for 3 months for a safety recall. The ICCU controls the vehicle’s electrical and charging systems, and a malfunction could prevent the vehicle from charging or operating properly, creating a risk of loss of propulsion while driving. Two different Hyundai dealers have had the vehicle since July 11, 2025, but no diagnosis or repair has been completed. I have escalated the issue to Hyundai Corporate, but there has been no resolution or communication of a timeline. The vehicle is available for inspection upon request. No warning lamps or messages were reported prior to the dealer receiving the vehicle, as the car was delivered specifically for the recall repair. Due to this unresolved recall, I have been without my vehicle for 3 months, which has caused significant hardship and forced me to rent a vehicle temporarily. I was given a loaner vehicle eventually but this vehicle is not comparable to my ioniq5. Both dealer's gave excuses for the lack of diagnosing and repairs, ranging from "technician is on jurty duty" or "the climate is too hot outside to look at it."

On numerous occasions starting May 2024 and continuing through July 2025, my 2022 Hyundai Ioniq 5 displayed a “Check electric vehicle system” error upon starting the vehicle. In June 2024, Hyundai replaced the vehicle's VCM under warranty. In December 2024, the car wouldn't start. Hyundai replaced the 12v battery under warranty. In April 2025, the vehicle would not drive above 20 mph and warned of imminent shutdown while driving and Hyundai eventually replaced the ICCU under warranty. And in July 2025, Hyundai replaced the charging port under warranty. In all, the vehicle has been out service for 95 days while being repaired under warranty and most of those days I was not provided with a loaner vehicle. During the ICCU replacement, I was forced to rent a vehicle two separate times to get to work. Hyundai assured me that I would be reimbursed both for costs associated with the rental vehicles and the loss of use of my vehicle while under repairs, however despite multiple emails and conversations and having provided all requested documentation, I have received no reimbursement from Hyundai. Please assist me in obtaining reimbursement from Hyundai as soon as possible. Thank you!

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.

NHTSA ODI 11675463

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.

NHTSA ODI 11671601

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.

NHTSA ODI 11670023

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.

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

NHTSA ODI 11663587

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.

On January 31, 2025, my 2022 Hyundai Ioniq 5 experienced a failure with its ICCU resulting in the vehicle to lose all power and become unable to be turned on exposing myself and others to conditions where the vehicle could become a serious safety hazard due to its complete lack of power. This occurred despite the application of the NHTSA Hyundai Recall 272 only two weeks prior to this incident which was supposed to prevent this serious safety defect from occurring. The vehicle's 12 V battery was subsequently replaced allowing the vehicle to display a "Check electric vehicle system" warning. The dealership has since confirmed this as the ICCU defect. No warnings or other messages preceded this incident.

NHTSA ODI 11660128

The contact owns a 2022 Hyundai Ioniq 5. The contact stated that the electrical charger was overheating, and the 12-volt battery was draining without warning. The contact stated that while charging the vehicle, the contact heard an explosion. The contact stated while driving 20 MPH, the message "Stop Driving Immediately - Return to Dealer"; the check engine warning light illuminated, and the vehicle experienced a loss of automotive power. The contact stated that on one occasion after turning off the vehicle, the battery remained active for 3 days, causing the battery to become drained. The vehicle was taken to a local dealer where the vehicle was diagnosed and the contact was informed that the water pump, the EV battery, the charge point, the inside batteries, the sensors, the navigation system, were faulty and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired; however, the failure persisted. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 65,000.

My 2022 Hyundai Ioniq 5 has experienced numerous 12V battery failures since early 2024. I ended up having to replace the 12v battery five separate times. The car fails to start with no warning. It has stranded me while transporting a pregnant spouse and a sick infant. Each failure required a tow and service visit. Hyundai claims “battery case corrosion” is to blame, but this is clearly a systemic electrical defect affecting many owners. This is a critical safety issue for families relying on the vehicle in emergencies. This is a safety and accountability issue affecting many families.

15 miles south of Crescent City California, "Check EV system" warning displayed, and power immediately tapered to a crawl in 30 seconds or so. No earlier warnings appeared. Car was towed to Northwoods Hyundai in Eureka where the problem was identified as ICCU failure. No parts appear to be available, and car has been sitting in the elements now for over 6 weeks, 300 miles from home. No repair date has been indicated, and the new ICCU is still back ordered.

Driving on the highway/freeway, received an error message on dashboard "stop vehicle and check power supply". The car slowed down, max speed around 45 but thankfully my hazard lights still worked and I exited the next exit. I've heard I was lucky as some people with the same problem - the car goes into "limp" mode and slows down to 5mph or stops completely. Very unsafe on a highway for everyone. Dealer has checked the vehicle and states it's an ICCU problem

NHTSA ODI 11657668

Recall 272 was addressed on Dec 31, 2024. ICCU and fuse replaced; software updated. On 4/26/2025, 'Low voltage on the 12 volt battery, stop safely’ warned came on when I tried to start the car. The car was used several times earlier in the day and is used daily (i.e., does not sit idle). No other warnings were noticed prior to this failure.
