The Ioniq 5 has a serious problem with 12 volt battery drain. Three times, I have returned from vacation and found that the 12 v battery was completely dead. This is a huge issue if a consumer cannot rely on their vehicle to start in an emergency. I called a dealer in Renton, Washington about the issue and the technician responded, "This is a common issue in these types of vehicles." I am sorry, but that is not acceptable and is a vehicle defect. With electronic doors, you cannot get into the vehicle to jump start it, if the vehicle is locked, unless you can pull the manual key from the key fob and open it with the key. 12 v battery drain is killing the lifespan of the battery. Looking on the internet, other owners are complaining of the same issue. My vehicle sat for one week two times in December and I just returned form a two week vacation to find the battery completely dead. I only have 4484 miles on the vehicle and it is a 2023 car, so it is not an old battery. The car has a serious electrical defect.

This model has known issue. As I found after it occurred to my brand new IONIQ 5 . It has only 320mi. It had 87% battery and all of sudden it stop on road. No power on dashboard. After taking to service station they found “ "Inspected and found code P1A9096- DC/ DC converter input voltage sensor fail. Referenced campaign 997 for concern. With code present, per TSB, replace ICCU and fuse." This same issue I noticed in 2022 after reading forum. After putting my car in service station still I don’t have my car. It’s almost 17 days. If this car had recall I could have saved my time and unnecessary effort. Plus thank god it was local city read( school zone) if I was in highway and same thing happen to me it might be life threatening situations.

Intermittent Electrical / Brake failure . Put vehicle in reverse . Brakes failed to stop vehicle . Vehicle has had electrical issues before . Waring lights came on for steering and tire pressure in the past . Recall then came from Hyundai for the ICCU .45 minutes before the collision, the front collision warning came on when I was stopped at an intersection with no one in front of me . I stopped the vehicle and turned the vehicle off . Turned on the vehicle and it reset the warning lights and sounds , and I continued to drive . Later while pulling out of a parking space in reverse ,I stepped on the brakes but the vehicle did not stop . I pumped the brakes to no avail . After the collision , the brakes worked again when the tow truck driver placed the vehicle on the flatbed .The Hyundai dealer , after the vehicle had been in their possession for several weeks with the battery disconnected, said there was no problem They also had a factory rep look at the vehicle and he made a report . We have not been able to get a copy of the report . Vehicle is still at the dealership . When notified by the factory rep of their claim that the vehicle had no problems , the vehicle had been out of service more then 30 days .

The following is an incident that happened yesterday to my wife, who is an experienced driver: Whilst driving south on I5 from Seatac toward Tacoma in heavy rain with surface spray the screen above the steering wheel mentioned collision avoidance was not working and radar was not working. When I applied the brakes to slow down no response from the brakes. I then let off the brake and tried several times to apply the brakes each time with no success. I still had full control of the steering and could still steer the car. This lasted for about 30s then the brakes started working again. The error messages regarding collision avoidance and radar not working would continue to pop up even after the brakes were working. After stopping the car and turning it off and restarting several hours later the car no longer displayed any error messages. No vehicle or passenger were hurt in this incident, however if the traffic had slowed or stopped this outcome could have been very different.

I started getting the error Electric Vehicle System error in my month old Ioniq 5. After driving a few miles, the air conditioning stopped working completely. And after a few more miles, the vehicle started to throttle down the speed to 20-25mph that too on the I95 with a 65mph speed limit. Had to turn on the emergency lights and drive slowly till I reached my destination. After googling for a while, I found that this issue is related to the ICCU failure that is pretty common in the Ioniq 5 and Hyundai is yet to issue a permanent fix for this problem. I don’t know why we are allowing the sale of these vehicles with known issues. You can even Reddit the ICCU issue.

Car: 4 month old 2023 Ioniq 5, Starting on September 12, 2023 my car would not take any charge AT ALL, effectively make my car useless as I am down to 10 miles of range. For the next several days I tried multiple chargers at different locations trying both 350 kW and 7kW chargers. Other cars were able to charge their cars immediately after I moved from the charger. I have read that the software update I am going to get will reduce my charging capacity rate to fully charge slower. This car is not performing at the stats I chose it for. I will not be able to use this car if it cannot take fast charge for a full charge. I was not made aware of this issue that was well known to Hyundai (they have been dealing with this issue with its earlier Ioniq models) before going forward with this car. Nor would I have decided on this car if this issue was known to me.

While driving on the highway, after about 45 minutes, the electric vehicle goes into Turtle power-limited mode. The vehicle instantly reduces in speed from 70mph to as low as 35 - 45 mph. There are no warning lights or sounds. If you immediately stop the car and let it sit, it will work again temporarily but after 30 - 40 more min or less of driving, it will again go into turtle mode. Additionally, acceleration is non-existent when its power is limited, inhibiting the ability to safely drive as required to pull over or across intersections. This has been a constant event occurring multiple times and each time the vehicle has been on a freeway or highway. The dealer applied the repairs in the photo supplied, but they did not work.

1PE23011 · Loss Of Motive Power
Opened Jun 8, 2023 · Closed Apr 17, 2024
Status: closed (inferred from source dates) · Electrical SYSTEM:12V/24V/48V Battery; Electrical System:propulsion System:dc/dc Converter
On June 8, 2023, the Office of Defect Investigation (ODI) opened PE23011 to investigate allegations of loss of motor power on model year (MY) 2022 Hyundai Ioniq 5 vehicles. Some consumers reported loss of motor power immediately after a warning lamp illumination or reduction of motive power while the vehicle was in motion. This investigation found that the Integrated Charging Control Unit (ICCU) may be subject to various conditions such as overcurrent, overvoltage induced at the end of charging, and certain thermal loading during operation that can damage its internal components and open the ICCU fuse, resulting in an inability to charge the 12-volt battery. The vehicle could eventually lose all motive power, increasing the risk of a crash. In July 2023, Hyundai issued a service campaign to address certain MY 2022-2023 Ioniq 5 and MY 2023 Ioniq 6 vehicles that may have low 12V auxiliary battery charging occurrences due to an ICCU fault and may set the DTC P1A9096 “DC/DC Converter Input Voltage Sensor Fault”. On March 15, 2024, Hyundai filed Safety Recall 24V-204 for 98,878 MY 2022-2024 Hyundai Ioniq 5 vehicles and MY 2023-2024 Hyundai Ioniq 6, Genesis GV60, Genesis GV70 “Electrified” and Genesis G80 “Electrified” vehicles. The recall remedy provides an inspection, and if necessary, a replacement of the ICCU and the associated fuse. The ICCU software reduces the risk of overcurrent and implements voltage peak reduction at the end of EV battery charging. The recall also includes a software update that revises the electric water pump operational threshold to reduce thermal loading during charging and driving. In view of the recall action being taken by Hyundai, ODI is closing this Preliminary Evaluation. The agency reserves the right to take additional action if warranted by future circumstances. To review the reports cited in the Closing Resume ODI Report Identification Number document, go to NHTSA.gov.
