While traveling at highway speeds, the vehicle suffered a catastrophic and sudden loss of motive power. This resulted in a dangerous situation with no immediate ability to maintain speed in traffic. The manufacturer (Hyundai) identified a failure in the Integrated Charging Control Unit (ICCU). Despite a formal 'Notice to Cure,' the manufacturer refused to replace the 12V battery which was stressed during the failure, potentially leading to a repeat high-speed power loss event. This is a known issue with the E-GMP platform (Ioniq 5) that poses a significant unreasonable risk to public safety.

My 2025 Hyundai Ioniq 5 has experienced repeated catastrophic 12-volt battery failures following an ICCU (Integrated Charging Control Unit) failure in November 2025. The ICCU failure caused the vehicle to lose power in traffic and required towing. The ICCU was replaced but the 12-volt battery was not replaced. Since that repair, the vehicle has experienced repeated electrical failures. The 12-volt battery dropped to approximately 3.5 volts on one occasion and approximately 1.72 volts on another. These voltages were measured and documented on video using multiple multimeters before any jump start or charging. At these voltage levels the vehicle cannot unlock doors, power systems, or operate normally. The vehicle required towing by AAA. The dealership has repeatedly recharged the battery before testing and then claimed the battery “tests good,” refusing to replace it under warranty. Numerous owners online report similar failures where ICCU problems lead to repeated 12-volt battery collapse and vehicle immobilization. Because loss of 12-volt power can disable critical vehicle systems and leave the vehicle stranded or stopped in traffic, I believe this represents a potential safety defect. I don't have the repair reports from the dealer scanned in but I can if you want them. ICCU is known failure and recall but for some reason our car doesn't appear on any recall list. 12V battery that drops below 6V is deemed unsafe and bad and 3 times (including this time) it's been below 6v but they don't believe it's a bad battery.

I had washed my vehicle in my driveway. As I was drying it off, I heard a loud pop sound. When I went to put the car back in the garage, there was a warning displayed on the dash advising to check the vehicle electrical system. I immediately opened the MyHyundai app and it had a warning of an issue with the elecrtrical system and advised to schedule service. I had had no issues with the vehicle or its operation prior to this suddenly happening today. I fear that this is an ICCU issue as I have seen numerous complaints on forums and Reddit of over 90K 2025 Ioniq 5 vehicles this year alone having this issue.

On [XXX] while driving the car on a city street in Northhampton, MA, I heard a loud "pop" and there were multiple warning lights, beeps and messages indicating there was a problem with the electrical system. The car slowed dramatically and I was unable to drive at a safe speed to keep up with traffic. The car slowly lost power and I was able to pull over to the side of the road. The temperature was 15 degrees F - very cold, no heat and I had to stay with the car in freezing cold temperatures to await transport via tow to the local dealer. The tow service required that someone be with the vehicle in order to receive a tow. The dealer diagnosed the car with a failed ICCU - a well-known, increasingly common issue with these cars - and said there were already 10 Ioniqs on the lot awaiting replacement ICCUs.

My Ioniq5 experienced a failure of the Integrated Charging Control Unit (ICCU) while driving. There was a loud "pop" noise from the back seat that occurred while driving, and afterwards the car experienced an unexpected braking/deceleration and was unable to maintain a speed over ~30MPH. After the "pop" noise -- a "Check electric vehicle system" alert appeared on the dash, and an alert that the car had entered a limited power state also appeared a few minutes later. My safety was put at risk due to the car unexpectedly decelerating and then losing the ability to maintain speed while driving on a busy highway. Other's safety was put at risk due to my limited ability to maintain speed and not impede traffic. There was no warning's prior to the sudden failure to indicate there was anything wrong with the vehicle. The car needed to be towed to the dealer due to the limited state the car was put in. It was confirmed at the dealership that the ICCU had failed and needed to be replaced. It was also confirmed at the dealership that the replacement part was the same as what had failed, which is concerning for mine and other safety that this is at risk of occurring again.

The Integrated Charging Control Unit (ICCU) failed on [XXX]. An electrical system warning light appeared on the dashboard as soon as I turned on the vehicle; a review of the diagnostic code via the Hyundai Bluelink app indicated that the vehicle was unsafe to drive. It was towed to Napleton's Hyundai service center in Urbana, Illinois. I was informed that the replacement parts were on a nationwide backorder. The repairs were finally completed on February 25, 2026. The repairs were covered under warranty; however, it was a disappointment and inconvenience for a practically new car to suffer a critical part failure and then to be out of commission for 50 days.

The ICCU (Integrated Charging Control Unit) failed with DTC P1A9096 and I was driving at approximately 25-30 MPH on 01/17/2026 at approximately 5:40 pm in approximately 32 degree temperature. The car had just been disconnected from a hardwired Chargepoint Home Flex 11.5 kw 48A Level 2 home charger with a NACS connecter (so no adapters used), though the charging had mainly ended at approximately 5:24 am that same morning (after reaching the preset charging limit of 80% of battery capacity, I believe). That charging session provided 45.572 kWh of energy over approximately 4.5 hours and then the vehicle sat, still plugged in, for approximately 12 more hours until disconnected to drive it. After driving approximately 1-2 minutes on residential streets, I heard a muffled 'pop' sound behind the front seats, and the vehicle dashboard suddenly showed 'check electrical vehicle system' and 'stop vehicle and check power supply'. The vehicle suddenly had limited capabilities, including speed, and at that point gave a limited, unspecified, amount of time to get off of the road to safety. The vehicle is currently with a Hyundai dealer (Hyundai of 110 in Farmingdale, NY) who has since confirmed it was an ICCU failure. They are waiting on a new ICCU, which is on back order. The vehicle had been leased, new, in June of 2025 and after that, was driven approximately 9,506, miles (mostly highway) and never exhibited any sounds, warning lights, control issues, or any other indications that there was any problem or that there would be any sudden problem with the vehicle.

Further, two more questions should be explored: 1) should 2025 Ioniq 5 vehicles be recalled because of the ICCU; and 2) should the ICCU itself be improved or modified, given that it has been the cause of recall in the previous three model years?

My new 2025 Ioniq 5 that has 8,700 miles on it suddenly popped up the message "check electric vehicle system" warning as we were driving in our neighborhood. My husband then realized that he could not drive over 30 mph just as he was merging onto our local Highway in a 65 mph zone. We limped along until the next turnoff and turned around. We decided to take the chance to get back onto the highway for a the short distance back to our house at 30 mph and returned the car to the garage. It was towed this morning to the dealership and declared to have a failed ICCU unit. All parts are back ordered indefinitely.

On Friday evening, my 2025 Hyundai Ioniq 5 was parked at a ferry terminal in central NJ in cold (~32°F), windy conditions near water. At approximately 6:20pm, I remotely activated climate control using the MyHyundai app. When I entered the vehicle around 6:25pm and attempted to start it, the dashboard immediately displayed “Stop vehicle and check power supply” and “Check electrical vehicle system.” The MyHyundai app reported diagnostic code PIA9096, which is widely reported by other owners as an ICCU failure. The vehicle became completely inoperable, could not be shifted into neutral, and could not be jump-started. I attempted boosting the 12V battery and AAA also attempted, with no success. Both AAA and Hyundai Roadside Assistance refused to tow the vehicle because it could not be placed in neutral, leaving me stranded in freezing conditions and forced to abandon the vehicle overnight in a public lot. The following morning, I installed a brand new 12V battery, which allowed the vehicle to power on, but the same electrical errors remained. The vehicle was then towed to a Hyundai dealer. After several days, the dealer confirmed diagnostic codes PIA961C, PIA9096, and P056216 and diagnosed failure of the ICCU and high-voltage fuse. The dealer ordered ICCU assembly 36400-1XAD5 and high voltage fuse 375F2-GI040. The dealer cannot provide any ETA for parts and stated the vehicle will be inoperable until repaired. I am informed by many other owners that multi-week or multi-month delays are common for this same failure nationwide. This failure resulted in a sudden, total loss of vehicle function, left me stranded in unsafe conditions, and made the vehicle impossible to move or tow normally. This appears to be a known, systemic defect affecting Hyundai EVs across multiple model years. Vehicle is currently at Hyundai dealer and available for inspection.

While driving at normal city speeds, the vehicle suddenly displayed a warning message stating “Stop vehicle and check power supply,” accompanied by a red battery warning indicator. Shortly after the warning appeared, the vehicle entered a reduced-power or “limp” mode, with severely limited acceleration and speed. This created a safety concern as the vehicle could not maintain normal traffic flow. The high-voltage traction battery state of charge was normal at the time, indicating the issue was not related to battery depletion. Prior to the failure, there were no unusual driving conditions, accidents, or modifications to the vehicle. Ambient temperature was cool but within normal operating conditions. Due to the loss of power and safety risk, the vehicle was not driven further and was towed to an authorized Hyundai dealership for inspection. The problem was confirmed by the dealer, who diagnosed a failure of the Integrated Charging Control Unit (ICCU), which manages charging and power conversion between the high-voltage system and the 12-volt electrical system. The dealer determined that the ICCU requires full replacement. The vehicle remains at the dealership awaiting parts and is available for inspection. The failure resulted in sudden loss of drivability without prior meaningful warning, posing a potential hazard to the driver and surrounding traffic.

On December 26, 2025 (six months after leasing this new vehicle) the ICCU unit failed. The mileage is 5,555. This known defect poses serious safety risks as it causes the vehicle to be unexpectedly and immediately disabled. It can drive at only very slow speeds. Drivers must find a safe place as soon as possible to park and call for a tow. Specifically, I was leaving a parking lot and heard a loud pop from behind me. the dashboard immediately displayed a red warning to check the electrical system (which is the drive system in a BEV). Fortunately, I was able to back up back into the parking lot, park and call for assistance. Had I been travelling at highway speeds, it would have been much more dangerous. There was absolutely no warning that this failure was going to happen, so it can occur at any time and any place. The weather was cold and humid. It was raining at the time. This is a known issue that has affected all model years, 2022-2026, of the Ioniq 5. The dealer where I had the car towed confirmed that the ICCU unit and fuse have to be replaced. We are currently awaiting the parts delivery so the replacement can occur. The parts will be the same as those that failed (and have failed for the last five years in multiple Hyundai/Kia EV models), so I can never be sure that this will not reoccur in the future at a time/place that will pose a greater risk to our safety.

I had driven a few miles to a store and was inside for about 10 minutes. I went out to the parking lot and started the car by pressing the button. Within the first couple of seconds after starting, there was a loud pop sound, followed by alerts on the dashboard. Checking the onboard diagnostics, I saw an alert that the charging system had a fault. Using the MyHyundai app, I saw a diagnostic code of P1A9096. I was able to drive home (albeit limited to about 40 MPH on a road with a 50 MPH speed limit and traffic that drives faster than that) and park. Testing it later that night, I was able to start it, but soon after, there was a loud beeping sound and bright red alert on the dash warning me that I should "Stop vehicle and check power supply." The next morning, when trying to get it on the flatbed tow truck, the vehicle started, but when I tried to adjust the seat for the tow truck driver, it went entirely dead. The driver jumpstarted it, but it was difficult to get the car into gear to move it on the flatbed. Around this time, I noticed that the phone was showing two new diagnostic entries, both with code P056216. We eventually got it into gear and onto the truck, and then delivered to the dealer, where it is currently awaiting diagnostics. There was no obvious safety issue while I was driving, though I worry now that if I had tried to use the 12V system while I was driving, then the entire system might have failed while in motion.

*I received a notification on my screen of the battery malfunctioning after only owning it for 3 1/2 months. *It was unsafe to drive because it was undependable. *I dropped it off at the dealership and was given a loaner a week lateronly after we insisted they owed us one. It has been over 6 months now and I still am driving a Kona loaner which is a downgrade. *No police or insurance reps involved. Consumer Affairs has little to no information. There wasn’t any prior indication before the notification on the screen.

Electrical failure while on the highway. Later diagnosed as failed ICCU issue that also destroyed the 12V battery. Very scary during rush hours traffic with passengers.

While pulling out of the garage after charging our 2025 Ionic5 we heard a loud “pop”. As soon as we started driving we got a “Check Electrical System” message. We returned home and had our car towed to the Hyundai dealer. We were told that our ICCU failed and would need to be replaced. We are glad this did not happen while we were driving at speed. We are very concerned that Hyundai has a known issue with a critical component and has not resolved the issue.

On October 10, 2025, while driving the car, a turtle suddenly popped up in place of the speedometer. The car's power and speed was drastically reduced. There was a car behind me that started tailgating me and I could not go any faster than about 15 mph. I was able to make it home. Later that night, I tried to charge the car and it started to overheat. The ICCU recall need to be extended to 2025 models. Ours has been replaced, as well as the PCM and many other parts. Our car still sits at the Hyundai service center because they cannot figure out why the car won't charge.

Driving a loud bang was heard from the back of the car. Stopped to check, no obvious physical issue. A warning light came on, it was described as an issue with the air flap. Started driving again, it worked for a few 1000 feet. The car went into a limp mode while an arterial road, in the dark, slowing to not more than 20 mph on a 45 mph road putting driver and child passenger as well as other vehicles at risk. Had to limp until a driveway was found about 3/4 mile later. We got DTC P1A9096 code. The dealer confirm this was an ICCU issue and the related fuse was blown.

This morning my new Hyundai Ioniq 5 with 1900 miles made a loud pop noise and suddenly the car acceleration slow to almost a halt. Then the “Check electric vehicle system” warning light came up on the dashboard. From what I have seen from forums, this most likely a ICCU malfunction needing a replacement. This was scary because the car behind me could have crash into us since the car literally almost a full stop without any warning.

I was driving down the highway at about 65 mph. "Electrical failure" warning showed up and the abruptly began to lose power. We were able to pull over 2 lanes to the shoulder. The car then completely shut down after about 2 minutes. I was unable to have my hazards on and 2 young children in car seats were in my vehicle. I was on a really bad part of the road and had to move two young children into another car and barely had enough power to get over. The dealer told me I just had a bad battery and they replaced it and it was fine. I called Hyundai corporate and they said "they weren't aware of any issues with the cars ICCU" it wasn't until my husband called the dealer again and had to be extremely pushy with them that they saw it was an ICCU failure. They are replacing it now.

I was driving to work on the morning of Nov. 12th, 2025 in East Greenwich RI. The car had been fully charged on my home Level 2 charger the night before. It was a chilly morning so I turned on the heated driver seat and steering wheel. Less than a mile from my house, and without any warning or prior issues, I heard a loud pop from underneath the vehicle. Immediately the car displayed an error on the dash reporting electrical system issues. The car still seemed driveable so I began to drive back home, noting that the car wouldn't exceed ~30 mph, but before I went very far at all the error changed to "Stop vehicle and check power supply." I pulled the car over on a side road and called for a tow to the nearest Hyundai service center in North Kingstown, RI. The next day the Hyundai service center reported that their diagnostics revealed that the ICCU had failed. I subsequently learned that they had been unable to drive the car even from their lot into the service bay - even with a jump charger the car wouldn't drive and they had to carry the scanner to the lot for the diagnosis. The Hyundai app reports 96% battery charge even now, which says that the 12V battery has been fully discharged, consistent with ICCU failure. The service center has not reported that the ICCU has been inspected by any other authorities other than them. The replacement part is due to arrive today, 11/15, and should be installed on Monday 11/17. This exact problem is apparently very common to Hyundai and Kia EVs, and was the subject of a recall for the 2022-24 IONIQ 5 model years.

The ICCU unit has failed after 10 days of driving of the brand new 2025 Ioniq 5. It gave me a warning that the battery has failed while I was waiting on a signal light, and the car started limiting my speed. The car continued to get slower and slower, then it says battery regeneration failed at one point. The fastest I could go at one point was 30 mph. It was dangerous as I need to make sure the cars behind me don't come at me. When going uphill, I was only able to drive in 20mph. The car was taken back to the dealership to get serviced. They confirmed that the ICCU unit and the fuse have failed and my car will need a replacement.

FORWARD ATTENTION WARNING When driving, the vehicle randomly and repeatedly warns the driver to pay attention to the road even when the driver is facing forward and paying attention to the road. The system will also randomly and repeatedly alarm, disable cruise control and apply the brakes even when the driver has both hands on the wheel and is facing forward. This has nearly caused crashes. Hyundai states the system is working as designed and suggested: 1. Driver is too tall for the system see my eyes. 2. Do not wear prescription glasses. 3. Do not wear sunglasses. Research has revealed hundreds and hundreds of similar complaints. Hyundai has issued a technical service bulletin 25-GI-001H stating there is nothing wrong with the vehicle and states drivers who are tall, short, wear glasses will experience this.

I was driving the car on [XXX], and I got a battery management system warning light (DTC P0B6D00). When I got home, my car wouldn't charge. I took the car to the dealership for service for this light. Without the ability to charge and battery issues, it affects the drivability of the car and the car may stop if there isn't enough charge when driving. The problem has been reproduced by the dealer, and there was an attempt to replace a part, but it caused the light to go off 3 more times. The car has been at the dealership since June 23rd, 2025 without resolution. There were no other warnings or messages prior to this failure as the car ran without any issues.

The vehicle was charging to 100% and once it reached 81%, jumped to 100% and stopped charging. Two days later, the vehicle populated an error “Battery Management System”. The vehicle was checked in to a dealer and it was confirmed that there was a faulty cell, and the high voltage battery must be replaced. It was confirmed that if I were to keep driving, the battery reading could drop at any point to 5% or lower, and continue to fluctuate causing a concern for safety with potentially losing all power.

These cars still have problems keeping the 12v charged. Car was leased on Jan 19. 12v first died on Feb 15, took it to dealer where they trickle charged it. 12v died again on Feb 18, dealer replaced the 12v. The 12v died again on Mar 11 and is still at dealer service center. Case with Hyundai corporate was opened and the dealer is going back and forth with them. When car is left alone for 5 days, the 12v appears as needing a replacement, so there is something wrong with the system that keeps the 12v charged or there is some parasitic drain somewhere that is hard for the Hyundai engineers to diagnose.
