In owners' own words
The Integrated Charging Control Unit of the fully electric Hyundai Ioniq5 stopped working while I was driving my son home from the Zoo. I got a warning that there was an electrical system issue and I needed to immediately stop the car. The car lost power quickly, and I was luckily able to pull over into a parking lot and await a tow truck. This is a chronic saftey issue with Ioniq 5s and needs to be addressed. Electrical system
I was driving the car 70 miles per hour in a highway. Car suddenly stopped and only go 5 mph. I was lucky no car behind me. If not I could be death today. I brought it to service and ICCU unit failed which is happened almost all Hyundai IONIQ 5. They replaced it with same ICCU and it will happen again. I think they want me to make an accident next time. This car is not safe to drive with this charging unit. Electrical system
While driving my car in a high traffic area, it stopped working. Completely stopped. It would not accelerate whatsoever and I was forced to stop on this busy street, luckily right past an intersection. This is a known problem with this vehicle. Yes there is a recall on the car but getting scheduled to have the recall done has been a very long process with me being told it would be months to fit me in. Electrical system
