I took possession of my vehicle 1/12/23 and charged it successfully in my garage with my level 2 charger at 48A per Hyundai's specifications until May 19, 2023. Charging aborted prematurely on that date due to overheating of the charging port. Starting May 20, 2023 I lowered the charging rate in my level 2 charger to 40A despite Hyundai's stated specifications that 48A was supported. I also started tracking my charging with an OBD2 scanner and noted the AC Inlet 1 port temperatures. From 6/26/23 to 7/25/23 as summer temperatures in my garage here in NJ from 75 to 84, peak port temperatures reached 226 to 237 degrees but charging completed. On 7/28/23 with a garage temperature of 86, port temperature reached 239 and charging aborted again. I then had to lower the charging rate to 36A. This is lengthening my charging times and is not consistent with Hyundai specifications when I purchased the car. I am concerned I will have to continue lowering the charging rate to continue operating the vehicle. These high temperatures may also be dangerous. Hyundai so far has merely issued a Technical Service Bulletin 23-EV-003H that does not fix or replace the inadequate part(s), it merely slows down charging inconsistent with their specifications. This is not acceptable and as a safety issue NHTSA should require Hyundai to recall and replace the insufficiently performing part(s). My car is available for inspection. This overheating and lengthening charging time is a safety issue. The vehicle has not been inspected by the manufacturer or local dealer. There were no warnings of these occurrences. Charging simply halts when it exceeds 237 degrees Fahrenheit for my 2023 model.

The car sends an overheating error, stops charging and then starts charging again later (presumably after it has cooled down). Sometimes is fails to restart charging completely. This makes it impossible to get a fast, reliable Level 2 charge in a timely manner. We get a text to our cell phones alerting us that charging has stopped due to overheating. We have notified our dealer and they are offering a software patch from Hyundai that simply slows the charge amperage to 28-amps when an overheating error occurs rather than offering a hardware solution that allows for full 48-amp Level 2 charging as the car is supposed to be capable of.

When driving in I Pedal mode (which is the one-pedal mode), the brake lights do not light up when decelerating, and it almost caused us to be rear-ended yesterday. Drivers pull aside me and tell me my brake lights don't properly come on when I slow down. Apparently this defect was on the national news several months ago and Hyundai promised a software fix by mid-July. I was just at the Carlsbad, CA Hyundai Service Center this morning and was told they do not have a software fix for this issue. This car should officially be recalled by Hyundai and the NHTSA and owners should be warned officially they are driving a dangerous, defective car.

My car fails to charge using Level 2 40 amp charger. The car is supposed to be able to maintain charging between 40 and 48 amps. It is clear that the car is overheating during Level 2 charging and suspending charging. This can be dangerous especially if the car is advertised to be able to charge normally using Level 2 chargers. Note that the summer has been hot. Even in my garage at night, I can no longer charge at 40 amps. I have to lower my Autel charger's current down from 40 amps to 32 amps, and that seems to work. Outdoors during the day, I have to change the car's current to 60%, just so it can continue to charge without overheating. My car is less than 6 months old.

I have a 2023 Ioniq 5 that was purchased in June, 2023 and an 2023 Ioniq 6 that was purchased in April, 2023. I had a new Chargepoint Home Flex charger installed in April when I purchased my Ioniq 6 and set the charging current to 40 amps. The charger was hardwired directly to my service panel with the appropriate 6 gauge wire and 60 amp breaker. My Ioniq 6 reliably charged at 40 amps until early July when it started dropping the charge rate to 23 amps about 40 minutes into my charging session when using the level 2 charger at home. My Ioniq 5 only charged at 40 amps for the first week of ownership before starting to drop the charge rate to 23 amps. When this behavior started I plugged an OBD2 scanner in and was able to monitor the AC Charging Inlet temperature and noticed that the charge drop happened when the temperature reached 240F. This causes an issue when planning my charge times because they can essentially double, meaning that my vehicles are not ready for a trip by the estimated time. I am also concerned that having electronics that overheat on an EV may be a potential fire hazard in the future. One of the key reasons for purchasing these vehicles was the advertised charge times. I have appointments with the dealership to have both vehicles examined.

This is an electric vehicle, stated in product literature and safety sticker at charge port that it is capable of 48A / 240V AC charging. Under normal circumstances, the charging port overheats when supplied with 48A / 240V AC. The vehicle aborts charging due to the overheating charge port when ambient temperature is above 70 degrees Fahrenheit. This is a safety risk, and the charge port needs to be designed in a way that it will not overheat when charging at levels specified in the manual and safety tags located at the charge port, regardless of normal ambient temperatures.

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.
