My car failed to charge on my level 2 home charger and would only charge on a level 3 fast charger. Because of this, I was unable to charge my car at home. I was on a trip about 1 hour from my home in an area of Massachusetts that developed an electrical blackout. I almost ran out of power on a dark road with no streetlights. I was lucky to find a level 3 charger just on the outside of the blackout area when my car had less than 5% power. I brought the car to the Hyundai service center 2 weeks ago. I called daily for updates and was told they were "diagnosing" the problem. I called again, yesterday and was told it needed an ICCU. It had been ordered that afternoon (2/5/26) and they hoped it would arrived within the week. They were unable to provide a loaner car (even though I've been without a car for two weeks).
The ICCU failed, leaving me stranded 4.5 hours from home. Luckily I was able to tow the car to the nearest dealership and they gave me a loaner. It has been 6 weeks and no update yet.
I am reporting a safety-related defect involving unintended vehicle movement on my Hyundai Ioniq 5 (Model Year 2023, SEL AWD).

I am reporting a safety-related defect involving unintended vehicle movement on my Hyundai Ioniq 5 (Model Year 2023, SEL AWD). Observed behavior: With the vehicle in Drive and the Auto Hold function active (indicated by the white “AUTO HOLD” indicator in the instrument cluster), I brought the vehicle to a complete stop by pressing the brake pedal. Auto Hold engaged (text now green), the vehicle remained stationary, and I removed my foot from the brake. After approximately three minutes of remaining stopped, a driver-assistance system error message appeared on the instrument cluster. At that point, Auto Hold disengaged (the “AUTO HOLD” indicator disappeared), and the vehicle began to creep forward on its own. I did not command acceleration, did not press the accelerator pedal, and did not intentionally release the brake. The movement was unexpected and created a safety risk. The first occurrence happened in a school drop-off line with the vehicle stopped near other vehicles and pedestrians. I have since reproduced the behavior and captured it on video. Related observations: Similar driver-assistance system errors have occurred while the vehicle was in Park and in Drive, with or without Auto Hold active. In those cases, the vehicle did not move because it was either mechanically locked or I had my foot on the brake. In all cases, Auto Hold deactivated. Safety concern: This behavior raises concerns about the reliability of Auto Hold and its interaction with braking and driver-assistance systems, particularly after the vehicle has been stationary for an extended period. Unintended forward movement presents a significant safety hazard. I am reporting this issue for investigation of potential defects in software, sensors, or control logic. Video evidence is available.

While driving, the vehicle displayed a “Check Electrical System” warning and experienced loss of propulsion power. The vehicle became inoperable and required towing. The Hyundai dealer diagnosed failure of the Integrated Charging Control Unit (ICCU), a known failure point on this platform. The ICCU is currently on backorder with no confirmed repair date. This failure creates a serious safety risk, particularly if it occurs at speed or in traffic. I no longer feel the vehicle is safe or reliable to operate.
Car became unresponsive leaving me stranded with an electrical system error warning which the dealership has confirmed to be the ICCU issue that has been affecting many cars since 2022

High-voltage battery system failure causing complete loss of propulsion. Vehicle entered "turtle mode" (reduced power warning) at 25% charge, then became completely immobile — unable to move even on flat surface. This has occurred multiple times. Charging system displays "fully charged" within one minute while vehicle dashboard shows 60% — clear battery management system malfunction. Vehicle has been undriveable and awaiting battery replacement for over a month at this point with no information on when the battery will arrive or be in stock. This is a known widespread defect in Ioniq 5 vehicles. Multiple owner reports document the same battery system failures, extensive reports of ICCU failures, and Hyundai's solution is to replace these failing components with the same component that fails repeatedly in other vehicles. No permanent fix or design change has been issued. This is a critical safety defect. Vehicle becomes completely immobile without warning — total loss of propulsion in traffic creates immediate crash and stranding risk. False charge readings mean the vehicle cannot be trusted to complete any trip safely. I have been left stranded multiple times on the turnpike of 80mph speed limit due to sudden total system failure. Hyundai has not resolved the root cause. They continue replacing batteries with the same defective system. This vehicle is fundamentally unsafe and unreliable. I should not be required to drive a vehicle with a battery system documented to fail catastrophically and repeatedly. Service records and repair invoices available upon request — vehicle currently at dealer awaiting battery replacement.
On 1/3/2026 I attempted to charge my car using my at-home level 2 charger. When charging initiated, the breaker tripped. I reset the breaker and tried again, but the same issue repeated. I attempted to charge my car by plugging directly into a GFCI outlet using the level 1 charger that came with the car, but this tripped the GFC…

On 1/3/2026 I attempted to charge my car using my at-home level 2 charger. When charging initiated, the breaker tripped. I reset the breaker and tried again, but the same issue repeated. I attempted to charge my car by plugging directly into a GFCI outlet using the level 1 charger that came with the car, but this tripped the GFCI breaker. I had enough battery to drive to the dealer, and Hyundai diagnosed the issue as an ICCU failure. In my particular case, I wasn't put in danger, since the failure did not occur while driving. But this model and other models based on this platform have experienced a pattern of failures with this component. In some cases, the ICCU fails while driving in such a way that the car goes into a limp mode before becoming inoperable. I'm grateful this did not happen to me. I felt it was important to report this issue if only as a record of one more ICCU failure associated with this model.
I purchased the 2023 Hyundai Ioniq 5 Limited edition car on 12/20/2025. On 01/03/2026, a warning light came on and said I needed to check my electrical system. I drove 3 miles home and made an appointment with the Hyundai dealership on 01/05/26. On the morning of 01/05/26, as I was attempting to drive the car to the dealership, …

I purchased the 2023 Hyundai Ioniq 5 Limited edition car on 12/20/2025. On 01/03/2026, a warning light came on and said I needed to check my electrical system. I drove 3 miles home and made an appointment with the Hyundai dealership on 01/05/26. On the morning of 01/05/26, as I was attempting to drive the car to the dealership, a turtle symbol appeared on the dashboard and said power limited. Three blocks later, the warning sign popped up that said pull over immediately. I pulled over as far as I could but the car completely died right in front a no parking sign. I had to wait for three hours in the freezing cold to get the car towed to the dealer. After two days, the dealer confirmed that the ICCU unit had failed and it would be replaced under warranty. One month later, I still do not have my car back, as the part is on backorder. Luckily, we had not taken this car to the mountains 1 week prior, or we would have been stranded in the freezing cold with minimal cell phone reception.
ICCU failed 12/29/25, car inoperable and towed to dealer. Luckily this was in my garage , had it been on the freeway it would have been very dangerous and car goes into limp mode. Car red battery light and made chimes. Only has 25,000 miles on it. Has been at dealer since then with no resolution update.

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.
