NHTSA Complaint Summaries for the 2024 Hyundai Ioniq 5
Below are complaint narratives filed by owners of the 2024 Hyundai Ioniq 5 with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
I was driving in a parking lot and heard a “pop” sound like a balloon breaking. The Ionic 5 lurched and stopped. A red circle appeared on the dash and said “check electrical system.” I slowly maneuvered the car into a parking spot because there was very little power and turned off the car. I called the Hyundai dealer and they told me to have the car towed to the dealer in Palm Springs, CA. When t...
ICCU failure while driving.
Received multiple "Check Vehicle Electric Systems" on a drive which went away and then got into the car, turned it on, shifted into drive, and heard a pop from bellow before moving at all and the car went into Turtle Mode and blasted warnings. The car completely died with zero power leaving it stranded in sub freezing temperatures and unable to lock the car or open the lift gate to access the trun...
Pop sound while driving. Lost ability to drive at normal speed. Was able to take car to repair shop and was informed of ICCU failure
ICCU failure
The vehicle experienced a sudden failure of the 12V battery while on the road. The car stopped completely and became inoperable. At the time of failure, there were no tail lights or proper warning indicators working, which created a very dangerous situation, especially in traffic. I was stuck on the road for about one hour waiting for a tow truck. During that time, other vehicles were honking and ...
ICCU Failure. Vehicle underwent deal TSB for ICCU failure resolution prior to still failing months later.
Loss of power leaving driver stranded
I was driving and the car gave an electrical system warning, slowed, and thereafter would not go above about 20mph. Fortunately this happened on a local, low speed limit street. I'd rather not think about what might have happened if this had happened on a highway. The Integrated Charging Control Unit (ICCU) is no longer working as it should. The problem has been confirmed by the dealer/manuf...
While driving I received the infamous "Stop vehicle and check power supply" warning, and it was then inoperable, needed a tow to the dealer for ICCU replacement. I can't believe you terminated your initial investigation into this in 2023 because they did a recall (which my car received). That recall did not fix the issue. It is March 2026 and Ioniq 5 and other models with the same electric system...
ICCU went bad. Battery warning light appeared a few hours before Vehicle stopped. Vehicle was inoperable and needed to be towed.
ICCU failure happened for the second time. Car stopped randomly with no Power. Very dangerous, this is a known issue for years now and Hyundai is not doing anything about it.
I was merging onto the highway. I got a warning that I needed to check my electrical system. I was able to back down the highway ramp and park on a side street. Within 20 minutes the car was fully dead and AAA needed to tow it to the dealer. The dealer confirmed that the ICCU needs a replacement. My family is lucky this happened in a place we could safely get to a side street. Had it happened 5 ...
Diagnosed ICCU Failure. Complete loss of power, went into "turtle mode," then told to stop car immediately and have it towed to the dealership. Vehicle diagnosed several days later as having an ICCU Failure.

While driving northbound on US-280 freeway, the vehicle experienced sudden deceleration with maximum speed limited to approximately 40 mph. The dashboard displayed a "Check Power Supply" warning. The vehicle required a tow to the dealership. Dealer diagnosis indicates likely ICCU (Integrated Charging Control Unit) failure. This is a known issue affecting multiple Hyundai Ioniq 5 vehicles, with num...
According to Hyundai, all active recall campaigns have been addressed on this vehicle (NHTSA site says it wasn't, Hyundai claims it was on 9/22/2025). Last night (3/3/2026) while driving on an unlit, two-lane country road about 20 minutes from my house, I heard and felt a bang noise from underneath the rear cabin of the car accompanied by a message stating "Stop vehicle and check power supply" on ...
Car was acting normally. Suddenly, the car would not accelerate. I was on a small road with no place to pull over. Vehicle said to pull over check electrical system. At great risk to my life and the safety of my children, we managed to get to a safe spot before the entire vehicle shut down. We expect that this was a failed ICCU.
- What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? The ICCU failed. It is not available for inspection. - How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? Minimally. The car alerted me that it was power-limited and that I should stop the car immediate and get it towed to the dealer. - Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a ...
Car suddenly out of the blue reported electrical system problem and battery problem. It also entered turtle mode where it would not go more than 10 MPH. If accelerating across an intersection this would have been extremely problematic if expecting to be able to travel faster than that. Towed to dealer that said it is a failed ICCU. This is a common failure mode and there needs to be a fix and safe...
