On [XXX], I received a warning on my 2023 IONIQ 5 that said “stop vehicle and check braking system” and the car went into “turtle mode”. I took it into the dealer for repairs and they said the issue was related to the 12V battery and returned the car to me as repaired. Then, on [XXX], I was driving the car and I got the same error message but this time the car’s brakes didn’t work. Thankfully, I was able to pull off the surface road I was on and pulled into a residential area where I used the parking brake to stop the car. I then had it towed to the dealer and they are currently in the process of repairing it. My son and I were in the car at the time of the [XXX] incident and were very fortunate that we did not hurt anyone or ourselves when the brakes didn’t work. As of today, the Hyundai dealer (Roseville, CA) says they are repairing a brake component that was defective but they missed this on the 2/28/26 inspection. See attached photo of the warning indicator. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
ICCU FAILED and Hyundai service states that part is back ordered indefinitely. Has been 2 weeks with no further updates Additionally service department is unable to repair forward monitoring sensors that quit working with the smallest amount of precipitation, sometimes just from road condensation.

I was traveling 70mph on Interstate 70 when I heard a loud “pop” sound and the car immediately slowed down to 20mph in heavy traffic. The care then would not go over 20mph.The car was charged at home the night prior. On the dash was the “stop vehicle and check power supply” warning. This is the very common ICCU issues known to plague the Hyundai EV fleet. This is very dangerous when your are in heavy interstate traffic going at a high rate of speed.

Due to a heavy brake application a water bottle in the back seat spilled and the water traveled under the drivers seat. This resulted in multiple car systems going offline, vehicle reporting LKAS error and inability to turn the car off. This essentially bricked the vehicle. Repair in order to correct the shorts and corrosion from the water both the drivers seat and main floor wiring harnesses require replacement cost estimate approximately $12,000. These key electrical connections under drivers seat are not adequately protected from simple water damage. This in my opinion makes the vehicle unfit for use as a family EV SUV as a simple water bottle still should not be able to brick a car. I consider this a design defect and the manufacturer is not covering this under warranty.

Several times now the "Check Driver Assistance System" and "Check Lane Assist System" have come on and stayed on. I brought the car dealership, and they fixed it--but only temporarily--the problem recurs within a few days of the fix. All of the sensor cameras are clean. I have read that a weak 12-volt battery can cause this problem, but the car has only 28k miles on it, so the battery should not be weak yet. I will bring the car back to the dealer (again) and have them check the 12-volt battery strength. But I am at the point where the "check system" messages are on more than they are working correctly.
I suddenly received errors that my sensors weren’t working, and I can no longer use my cruise control. The car has less than 60,000 miles so it still has the full bumper to bumper warranty. I have never had a collision. So I took it in to the dealer and they said the camera was mis-aligned and is not covered under warranty. It s…

I suddenly received errors that my sensors weren’t working, and I can no longer use my cruise control. The car has less than 60,000 miles so it still has the full bumper to bumper warranty. I have never had a collision. So I took it in to the dealer and they said the camera was mis-aligned and is not covered under warranty. It should be covered as I’ve never had a collision. Based on my online research, many people with Hyundai Ioniq 5s have experienced this same issue at no fault of their own, so it is a systemic problem. I took the vehicle to the Pohanka Hyundai in Fredricksburg, VA
Condensation builds in front of the camera. The car starts jerking all over the road with no warning. There is no error other than noticing that the car cannot keep itself in the lane. When trying to disable the features, they get turned back on automatically.
The rear video camera fails intermittently. It works sometimes and doesn't at times. The same with the rear cross traffic warning and pedestrian warning. I've taken my car to the dealer service center but they claim to not being able to reproduce the issue. I know the issue still exists since my husband hit a parked car while…

The rear video camera fails intermittently. It works sometimes and doesn't at times. The same with the rear cross traffic warning and pedestrian warning. I've taken my car to the dealer service center but they claim to not being able to reproduce the issue. I know the issue still exists since my husband hit a parked car while backing out of a driveway since there was no alert provided and the rear camera did not work.

Incident occurred when head-in parking in a space pointed into an stores exterior wall. There were no parking/wheel stops, just pavement then wall. No adjacent cars. I was decelerating with foot completely off accelerator and over the brake pedal. The car is an EV and was in 3rd level of regenerative braking, slowing down quickly. As I completed the turn into the space and began straitening the wheel, the car suddenly and rapidly accelerated and crashed into the wall. The only likely explanation I have is that I inadvertently pressed the Driving Assist button with my right thumb or hand while turning the steering wheel, which would have activated Smart Cruise Control, and, if the necessary conditions were met, set the minimum speed to 30 km/hr. The car manual states: "If your vehicle speed is between 0 - 20 mph (0 - 30 km/h) when you press the Driving Assist ( ) button, the Smart Cruise Control speed will be set to 20 mph (30km/h)." The Foward Collision-Avoidance Assist was set to Active Assist, which should have applied the brake to stop from colliding with the wall, but instead the car accelerated. (Note, the parking assist feature does not usually recognize head-in parking.) The car has two Driving Assist settings: Based on Drive Mode and Based on Driving Style. If the latter is selected, three additional features are set on sliding scales: Distance (close to far), Acceleration (slow to fast), Response Speed (slow to quick). These three settings are adjusted automatically based on the car's interpretation of the driver's driving style, or they can be manually overriden. I have never changed these settings. Post-incident I checked the setting and it was set to Based on Driving Style with Acceleration=Fast. Concerns: Is Driving Assist to easy to inadvertently activate? Should Driving Assist not activate at very slow speeds and not auto-set to 30k/h? Why did Forward Collision-Avoidance not activate? Drive Assist should not default to Based on Driving Style.

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.
