Car's ICCU blew as I was pulling out of my driveway. Was able to limp to the dealer. They replaced the ICCU in a week.

Driving under normal conditions, heard a “pop” near the rear of the car and within seconds had an immediate loss of power. The dashboard had lit up with “Check electric vehicle system” and was limited to 20 MPH on a 45 MPH road with no safe place to stop. Was able to limp car home, dealer confirmed ICCU was faulty and had to be replaced. My family was very very lucky to not be on a highway when th...

I have experienced two high voltage battery failures both requiring hv battery replacement. The first occurred around 6000 miles and the second occurred around 13,000 miles. I also had several dead 12v battery episodes where the card would be dead; even when plugged into the home charger overnight. I had to replace the 12v battery at 12000 miles.

ICCU failure and fuse, the car became unoperational and needed to stop. The car would no longer charge the 12V battery, and the EV battery would not charge. Hybrid Control Problem Detected at 3,160 miles. DTC P056216

What happened to me is a common problem with these models. I had an issue with the 12 V battery not being charged by the main battery as it should be. This led to a blowing of the main fuse which took out the ICCU unit. This seems to be fairly prevalent from what I can tell from online forums, and there needs to be a recall from Hyundai.

The contact owns a 2025 Hyundai Ioniq 5 N. The contact stated that while driving at 40 MPH, the service battery immediate warning light illuminated. A dealer was contacted. The vehicle was taken to the dealer because the ICCU unit needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 8,000.

While driving home, I experienced a sudden and complete power system failure in my Hyundai Ioniq 5 N. The failure occurred shortly after starting the drive, and was preceded by a faint "pop" sound. Within moments, the dashboard displayed the following critical warnings: Red 12V battery icon Red warning: "Stop vehicle and check power supply" Turtle icon (indicating limp mode / low power) Brake war...

The contact owns a 2025 Hyundai Ioniq 5 N. The contact stated that while driving and exceeding 30 MPH on several occasions, the accelerator pedal was released; however, the vehicle accelerated unintendedly for three seconds. Additionally, the contact stated that upon depressing the brake pedal, the vehicle responded as intended after three seconds. The vehicle was taken to an unknown dealer, where...

After recent software update on 17 March 2025, the vehicle demonstrated unpredictable high acceleration. Vehicle is unsafe in E-shift mode. Vehicle can only be driven safely in automatic mode. Per a Hyundai communication: "there have been complications reported related to the Vehicle Control Unit (VCU) software that may cause momentary continued acceleration during the release of the acceler...

The dealership performed the software update from the Hyundai recall 275. After the update, when using the e-shift feature in N mode the car sometimes will accelerate out of control on its own without the accelerator pedal being engaged. Hyundai also changed the motor sounds and e-shift feel.

With Eshift enabled, the car continues accelerating under heavy throttle even after releasing the accelerator pedal.

After the recent RECALL, while driving up I almost got in an accident because after upshifting the car, the car accelerated more than I intended, prolonged movement forward that never happened before the recall. This is a very dangerous situation.

The Hyundai Ioniq 5N features a unique mode called N e-Shift which enables a software simulated 8-speed transmission that attempts to emulate the gear changes and driving dynamics of a traditional automatic transmission that would be found in an internal combustion engine vehicle. Unfortunately, the mode has a dangerous component in the programming, wherein, when the driver has been accelerating ...

When using the N-Shift mode with the current OTA software update, the car will accelerate when lifting off the throttle in higher gears at lower rpms in the programed faux shift logic.

When accelerating using the N e-shift mode and letting off the accelerator the car continues to accelerate.

The 12 volt battery (which is less than 6 months old) died on two separate occasions in the span of 4 days. Each incident required a call to emergency roadside assistance for a jump start. This is a safety issue. If the 12 volt battery dies while driving, the car will display a warning message instructing the driver to pull off the road immediately and shut off the car. The car will also lose powe...
