On March 19, 2026 my Hyundai Ioniq 6 broke. It was clearly the ICCU problem. The car went into turtle mode with a maximum speed of 22 miles an hour and told me to get to a safe area , stop the car and have it brought in. It was brought to my local Hyundai dealer and a few days later they confirmed it was the ICCU problem. This is a safety issue. Fortunately I was 1 mile from my house and did not get stranded. Hyundai has had four years to fix the problem and obviously they have not done so. The car was a 2023 with about 23,000 miles on it.
I WAS DRIVING AND MY ELECTRICAL WARNING LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN FOR THE SECOND TIME IN A YEAR. I WAS TOLD IT WAS THE ICCU LAST YEAR AND THEY SAID IT WAS FIXED AND WOULDNT HAVE A PROBLEM AGAIN. I HAD TO RENT A CAR FOR ALMOST TWO MONTHS. THE SAME PROBLEM AGAIN WITH THE ICCU HAPPENED ABOUT A MONTH AGO AND THEY STILL HAVE MY CAR. IN A ANOTHER GAS RENTAL CAR.
I leased a 2023 Ioniq 6 electric car on September 2023. Since leasing the vehicle, the vehicle has been towed four times for the same problem, the parking brake malfunctions rendering the vehicle unusable. I have multiple photos and videos documenting this. This has happened either after parking the vehicle and attempting to turn it off, or after turning on the car after being parked. The first three times this happened the vehicle remained in neutral and would not change into any other gear. The car would not turn off or lock. The last time it happened again the car stayed in neutral and would not change gears, but I was still able to turn it off and lock it. Below is a summary of all the times the car was towed and how many days it was in the dealer. 1.December 12, 2025 (towed to dealership #1) to December 19, 2025: 8 days, no action taken, unable to find the cause of the problem 2.December 20, 2025 (towed to dealership #1) to December 29, 2025: 10 days, no action taken, unable to find the cause of the problem. Note the car failed again the day after it was returned to me on December 19. 3.January 2, 2026 (towed to dealership #2) to January 13, 2026: 12 days. Changed the 12V battery and replaced the VCU, vehicle control unit as an educated guess based on conversations with the Hyundai engineering team as the initial diagnostic scan failed to pinpoint the problem. 4.March 12, 2026 (towed to dealership #2). As of tMarch 15, 2026 the car is in the dealership for repairs for the same problem. Since this problem is likely related to the electric car’s electronics, it has been both challenging to diagnose, and extremely unpredictable and dangerous when it happens without any previous actionable warnings. The fact that the parking brake malfunctions and cannot engage, and that in addition the car gets stuck in neutral, is an extremely serious safety concern that could result in an accident, injury or death.
The check electric vehicle system error message showed up on my dashboard, meaning the iccu has failed
January 28, 2026 The vehicle has stopped in the middle Of the street with sign «loss of power, check your battery» or something like that and after few attempts to turn it off and on it went to Accessory mode. After 15-20 minutes it completely died. So unsafe with kids in the car during extreme cold temperatures. Free Hyundai road assistance- quoted me 3 hours or so, i had to pay for towing elsewhere. No doubts its iccu, since tow truck driver attempted to jump start and from dead it went to accessory mode and died again almost instantly. I read on the Facebook about iccu problem of Hyundai, if this is engineering defect it should be remedied.
Iccu 12 v battery failed
The vehicle popped up a screen that said check power source. Then within 30 seconds went into limp mode said power was limited and couldn't drive faster the. 25mph in the middle of a highway. By the time I pulled over to the side of the road my car was dead. Ive been trying to get Hyundai and the dealership to dignose the issue. Based on the error codes I was given it appears to be a dead iccu and 12v battery. I am in a ioniq group on Facebook and over the last week of being in it I've counted over 50 dead iccu on this group alone. All in one week.
The iccu failed. The car went into check power mode the. Into slow mode then died on the highway. Hard to ah e it jumped to take it to the dealership only to find out the 12v and iccu died

The car horn malfunctioned. I was not able to warn other drivers I was approaching and they were about to hit me. The component was inspected and replaced over a year ago in May 2024 under the vehicle warranty. No warning lights appeared when it happened.
Left the house, made it a few miles from the house. Loud pop from the rear seat, warning lights came up on the dash limited power and check electrical system. Was limited to 25mph to drive home. All recalls were done prior to failure. Last recall was done approx 2 weeks prior to failure. ICCU was diagnosed as the failure and was replaced.

ICCU failure. EV car flashed battery issues and could not drive. ICCU and 12 volt battery replaced after 10 days in dealership shop. Manufacturer inspected. Prior to issue electric hatchback closed half way then stalled. I drove to the dealership and asked them to check if there was something wrong. They closed the hatch manually and said the 12 volt battery was fine and the computer said something blocked the closure, I left the dealership and made it less than a mile before battery light went off (within 5 minutes of leaving dealership). Made it back to dealership in turtle mode and this time computer said the ICCU failed.
The horn on my vehicle is defective after 16000 miles. I am available to take it in for an inspection. I was almost backed into and I had no way of alerting the other driver. This problem has not been reproduced by my local dealership but it has been at other national and international dealerships per forums. I am unsure if this component has been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance company, etc. This problem was random without warning which makes this even more of a safety concern since I had no clue this was defective until I actually had to use it.
There are 2 horns; a high tone and a low tone. The low tone horn failed, making the horn sound difficult to hear. This same issue has been reported by many Ioniq 6 owners. I scheduled an appt w/ a Hyundai dealer and the defective horn was replaced. This happened when the vehicle had less than 3,000 miles.
4 days after having recall 272 performed by the dealer the ICCU on the vehicle failed. Warning lights indicated failure and to stop the vehicle. Luckily, only 1 mile from home and drove it home under reduced power . Called the dealer (70 miles away) and was told to tow the car to them. Car was diagnosed with ICC failure. Replacement had to be ordered but might take at least 4 weeks.
Shortly after the ICCU recall was repaired I received numerous electrical system warnings on my Hyundai Ioniq 6 (2023, SE model). The dealership identified the problem to be the Battery Management System needed a complete replacement would you take 1-2 weeks. When you factor in three different ICCU service appointments (two SW updates and full replacement) the BMS issue was the fourth electrical / battery issue in the 16 months I've owned the vehicle. Purchased Sept 20, 2023 and have 40k miles.
