“While the vehicle was parked in a garage and charging overnight, I briefly went to the vehicle to retrieve an item from the back seat. I was barefoot at the time. I opened the driverâ'side rear door and reached inside with my right hand while my left hand was near the upper door area where the door seal is located. When my left hand grazed the door frame, it felt unusually sharp. When I touched the area again to determine what was sharp, I received a significant electric shock. There were no warning lights, messages, or prior symptoms before the incident. The presence of electrical current on an exterior door surface poses a safety risk during normal vehicle use.”Owner report · Electrical System · Apr 2026
“Finished charge, low battery indicator on the dashboard. started to drive, within mile "pull over immediatedly" well documented and continued flaw with vechile ICCU component (that I had the software "patches" applied). Car will no longer accept charge (so now has the remaining charge before being a 3 ton brick) and cannot not be driven as if the 12v battery loses charge (which it will) I will lose powersteering and brakes.”Owner report · Fuel/Propulsion System · Apr 2026
“Car gave a "electrical error" message and would no longer charge at any charger. It slowly lost power and eventually stopped driving fully on the highway. The dealer says the ICCU is responsible. I inquired if this recall was not fixed already, they said it was but can still happen and the ICCU is not resolved truly, the software is just a temporary fix according to them. The vehicle will need a new ICCU.”Owner report · Electrical System · Mar 2026
“The ICCU has failed for the 2nd time in a year requiring lengthy repairs. The car cannot be driven with a faulty ICCU. The ICCU is responsible for converting AC power to DC for and stepping it up to 800 volts to charge the primary battery. It is also responsible for keeping the secondary 12 volt battery charged.”Owner report · Electrical System · Mar 2026
“My ioniq 5 EV experienced an integrated charge control unit (ICCU) failure. A couple days prior to complete failure, we were unable to charge the vehicle using either level 1 or level 2 chargers. Our local Hyundai service center advised us that it was likely an ICCU failure and was unsafe to drive, due to the possibility of sudden loss of drivetrain power. The vehicle was towed to our local service center (CardinaleWay Hyundai El Monte in El Monte, California) and the ICCU completely failed after arriving at the service center. The vehicle is still at the service center and we have been advised that there is a nationwide shortage on replacement parts, with backorders of weeks to months.”Owner report · Electrical System · Mar 2026
“While driving my IONIQ 5 it flashed a power limited warning, went into turtle mode, and then experienced a total loss of power. The 12V battery was dead.”Owner report · Power Train · Mar 2026
“Car lost propulsion in the middle of the road and would drive over 20 MPH. ICCU failure, which nearly caused me to get into an accident.”Owner report · Power Train · Mar 2026
