Vehicle steering wheel was off-center and the vehicle wandered whenever the road changed camber or had rough sections. The vehicle was purchased used from Carvana,. I took it in for 4-wheel alignment and the tech reported that "All adjustment hardware at rear were pretty loose", and stated that it probably left the factory this way as he saw no evidence of prior adjustments. The left rear tire is ...
ICCU failed. The car suddenly decelerated from 40mph to 25mph or less with no warning. The ICCU is confirmed to be an issue for Hyundai. I had the software update to fix the problem in 2025. It is currently at the dealership in Fort Mill, SC. DTC error code shows it as an ICCU failure. Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they f...
After several days of below freezing temps, started car after work and received "check electrical systems" warning. Couldn't drive above 15-25 mph. Eventually led to total shutdown, could not start, lock/unlock doors, etc. Had to tow to dealer which they eventually deemed the ICCU to be at fault. 12v battery was dead and new battery they put in to test died it sounds like as well. Or they "recreat...
The morning after a successful level 2 charge (from 35% to 80%), the ICCU fuse blew, resulting in no power to the car. I had to have it towed to have it fixed (both the fuse and ICCU were replaced under warranty). The car had 20,013 miles when the fuse blew and I had both safety recalls (software updates) addressed when they came out. I thought the updates were to prevent this from happening. For...
Driving 65 on the highway, the ICCU popped and died and the car immediately went into slow mode and decreased to 20mph in traffic in the snow. It displayed a message to pull over immediately and check the power system.
I had the ICCU unit recall taken care of on my car. While driving yesterday evening, I had a complete power failure. There were warning lights on the dashboard so I slowed down until it finally totally stopped. The warning lights said check electrical system and a yellow turtle light came on. While waiting for the tow truck all electric stopped including the flashers. It was dark, during rush hour...
When driving recently, the car suddenly began showing a warning message “check electrical system” and would not go beyond 25mph. I was on the way home but still far, and had to turn on my hazard lights to alert other drivers. Eventually the car escalated the warning to “pull the vehicle over” and implied that the main battery was having an issue. I had to have th car towed to a dealer (closes...
ICCU failure. 5 minutes into my drive to work, the car slowed down, dashboard said electric failure and then died. It had to be towed to the dealership where it took a week to get ICCU replaced. Apparently a lot of Ioniq owners are having this problem. No warning signs, the car just dies. Car has 26,000 miles.
Two years into my lease. I used my turn signal as normal, heard a loud CRACK as I pushed it down to signal a left turn, and the turn signal started to sag inside of its compartment behind the steering wheel. I did not use more pressure than normal, and I have never had this issue with another car before. The turn signal BROKE with normal use. This is not covered by warranty and I was quoted $1400 ...
ICCU SHORTED AND BLEW FUSE AFTER CHARGING. Shut off driving down the road.
The ICCU failed on my vehicle after 25,000 miles on a 2024 model year car. Driving on a cold and wet night, after pulling away from a stop sign, we heard a large POP and then dashboard lights indicating an electrical system problem. Apparently the sound was a fuse blowing, and then the car went into limp mode. We were able to drive at approximately 24 mph for about 5 minutes before the car told us...
The power system failure warning came on as I was driving up on an intersection. WhenI released the accelerator because I was in i-pedal mode (one pedal driving), the cars braking system did not activate. Consequently, I ran the red light. The car power was reduced, and I was able to pull into the parking lot of a strip mall as a police vehicle pulled behind me. After explaining our situation and...
Car horn stopped worked a year and a half in
The horns quit working. I'm on two weeks now waiting for the dealer to get the parts in to fix it. According to what I saw online, this is an ongoing issue.
As I was driving home from work, a loud POP went off under my car, and sirens began to go off. I was given a critical error, and told to immediately contact a dealership. My car began to slow, and would only go 25 mph. Luckily for me I was within a few miles of a dealership, but if I wasn't so fortunate this would have been a much larger issue. The ICCU has failed, despite already getting Hyundai'...

The vehicle was undrivable and could not start, even though the main battery (MV) was at 70% charge. There were no prior warning lamps or messages before the failure. The vehicle had to be towed and left inoperabl...

INCIDENT ONE: On 3/20/25 about 5 minutes after starting Climate Control on my Ioniq 6, I cleaned snow off the car and started it. As I started backing out, there was a loud warning sound and red indicators around the aerial image of the car on the dashboard. I double checked my surroundings and found no obstructions, so I continued to back out. As I began to turn the car into the direction I neede...
Since implementation of the recall (software update on ICCU) in January, the 12v battery has gone dead 3 times (every ~3 weeks) while the vehicle was parked overnight. It hadn't had this problem in the 6 months prior to the software update, and the dealer shop is unable to diagnose a problem. They say they are unable to reverse the software "fix" which seems to have caused the problem, and refus...
