ICCU failure
My ioniq 5 EV experienced an integrated charge control unit (ICCU) failure. A couple days prior to complete failure, we were unable to charge the vehicle using either level 1 or level 2 chargers. Our local Hyundai service center advised us that it was likely an ICCU failure and was unsafe to drive, due to the possibility of sudden loss of drivetrain power. The vehicle was towed to our local servic...
The ICCU failed while 300 miles from home. I was unable to charge the car with level 2 charging to get home. Luckily level 3 charging still worked. The ICCU breaking can also disrupt propulsion, so I'm lucky it didn't break to that degree while driving. The dealership ultimately replaced my ICCU. There were no warning signs. In fact, the car didn't even throw a code or error. It simply would...
The ICCU has failed for the 2nd time in a year requiring lengthy repairs. The car cannot be driven with a faulty ICCU. The ICCU is responsible for converting AC power to DC for and stepping it up to 800 volts to charge the primary battery. It is also responsible for keeping the secondary 12 volt battery charged.
Car lost propulsion in the middle of the road and would drive over 20 MPH. ICCU failure, which nearly caused me to get into an accident.

The car would no longer charge and the dealer said it is due to a faulty ICCU. The dealer said this part is on back order with an indefinite freeze and no ETA. My car has been at the dealership shop since January 29 and Hyundai corporate has not been helpful when I escalated to them. Overall I have had these charging issues since early December. Hyundai has denied my request to buyback the vehic...
