2025 Hyundai Ioniq 5 Fuel System Problems

ICCU failed less than 5k miles into my lease. I am now no longer able to drive the vehicle and there is no eta on getting a replacement since it’s on back order

COMPONENT FAILURE: The Integrated Charging Control Unit (ICCU) failed on a 2025 Hyundai IONIQ 5 AWD Limited with fewer than 3,000 miles on the odometer. The ICCU controls AC onboard charging and DC-DC power conversion. The vehicle is currently at the dealership and available for inspection upon request. SAFETY RISK: The ICCU failure caused a complete loss of vehicle propulsion, rendering the vehicle fully undriveable. Warning lamps and system fault messages appeared on the instrument cluster prior to full failure. The vehicle lost all ability to be driven or charged. A sudden loss of propulsion in a battery electric vehicle poses significant safety risk to the driver and others on the road. DEALER AND MANUFACTURER CONFIRMATION: The failure was confirmed and inspected by the selling Hyundai dealership. Hyundai Motor America (the manufacturer) reviewed the case and issued a formal written determination in February 2026 concluding the defect was unrepairable, accepting a Lemon Law repurchase under Washington State RCW 19.118. This constitutes manufacturer confirmation that the ICCU failure is a non-repairable defect. WARNING SYMPTOMS: Multiple warning lamps and fault messages appeared on the vehicle’s instrument cluster and infotainment display prior to the vehicle becoming fully undriveable. These warnings preceded the total loss of propulsion. ADDITIONAL NOTE: Despite issuing a written Lemon Law repurchase acceptance in February 2026, Hyundai Motor America has failed to execute the repurchase for over 23 days past document submission, missing their own stated resolution deadline. This complaint is filed to create a federal record of both the ICCU safety defect and HMA’s failure to honor an accepted Lemon Law repurchase in a timely manner.

ICCU failure while driving my kids to school. Heard pop sound and then dashboard showed electric system failure, car went limp mode and finally died on side of the road

ICCU failure

Traveling on Highway at 65 mph the vehicle suddenly lost speed and would not respond when my foot pressed on the acceleration pedal. I made it off the freeway to the exit. I turned the EV off and on and the car accelerated until I came to a stoplight. Again the car acceleration pedal would not respond. I put on my flashers and returned to the vehicle. I turned the car off and restarted it and was able to drive it home on side streets. I did not want to get back on the freeway. I had the car towed to the Hanlee Hilltop Hyundai in Richmond California. They performed a computer check and no error code came up except for an external charger error code. Our Ioniq 5 is charged with our wall box charger and has performed with no problem. It has worked with our Kia Niro EV also without problem. I fear there is a problem with this Electric Vehicle and do not feel safe driving it. I have initiated a buy back with Hyundai. I wanted to report the problem to this government agency in case there is a larger safety problem with this model year.

I notice a strange pulsing/hesitation when accelerating at partial throttle (maybe 10-25%) between 60-65MPH. It's quite alarming, because it feels like the electric motor is cutting out momentarily. I notice the same pulsing/hesitation during regenerative braking at the same speeds (as with the acceleration, it is only noticeable at partial regen). The dealer confirmed that they've noticed the same behavior on other new Ioniq 5 vehicles, but they don't have a fix. I don't know the safety implications, but I worry about the electric motor cutting out and affecting my ability to control the car during acceleration or regenerative braking.

The high-voltage traction battery on my 2025 Hyundai Ioniq 5 Limited RWD failed unexpectedly around [XXX], when the vehicle had approximately 1,250 miles on it and was just over 3 months old. The car had been parked in my driveway with about 80% charge while I was away for several days. When I attempted to drive it, the vehicle would not shift out of neutral. No warning lamps or error messages were displayed before the failure. The vehicle was towed to Van Hyundai in Carrollton, TX on April 3. While loading it onto the tow truck, the 12V battery completely died, disabling the electronic parking brake and preventing the vehicle from being safely secured. After an extended wait, a Hyundai field service technician diagnosed the failure as a fault in the traction battery, requiring a complete replacement. I was told the part is currently unavailable and has no estimated arrival time. The issue has been confirmed and documented by the dealer and the field technician. This failure renders the vehicle undriveable and puts both safety and financial reliability at risk. Not only was I unable to move or secure the vehicle, but it has also been out of service for over two months with no resolution in sight. The failed component is currently in possession of the dealership and should be available for inspection upon request.
