AIR BAGS07/20/2026
There is a yellow air bag (SRS) safety restraint critical wire harness underneath the seats and it's loose and hanging down touching the floor with lots of slack, very easy for a water bottle or any object to roll under there and pull it loose, which would disable a critical passenger safety system. This issue is reported by many drivers including myself, photos attached are from multiple people's experiences with this issue.
SERVICE BRAKES07/16/2026
The vehicle repeatedly displays a "Stop Vehicle and Check Brake System" warning together with an ABS warning, accompanied by a loss of normal braking response. On XXX, while driving at approximately 60 mph on I-85 northbound near Exit XXX in [XXX], the warnings appeared and the brakes did not respond normally. I was maintaining a substantial following distance, and the braking system restored itself before I reached the point of needing to brake hard, so no crash or injury occurred. Had hard braking been required in that window, I do not believe the vehicle would have stopped as commanded. This is a recurring fault. The vehicle, purchased certified pre-owned and still under the Hyundai factory warranty, has been taken to the dealer (Ed Voyles Hyundai, [XXX]) three times for the same condition. On the first visit the Integrated Electronic Brake (IEB) unit was replaced; on the second, the Smart Junction Box was replaced; on the third, the dealer removed an aftermarket tracking device wired to the data link connector and referenced Hyundai TSB 24-GI-011H, representing the problem as corrected. The braking-loss event on XXX occurred after that repair. The vehicle has been out of service approximately 30 days total. Because the failure is an intermittent loss of braking response at highway speed, I consider it a serious safety hazard and no longer drive the vehicle.

The contact owns a 2023 Hyundai Ioniq 5. The contact stated that while driving at higher speeds occasionally, the vehicle suddenly lost motive power. The "Smart Smooth Cruise Control Conditions Not Met" warning message was displayed on the instrument panel. The contact restarted the vehicle as a temporary fix; however, the failure recurred. The vehicle was taken to a local dealer where it was diagnosed with an unknown electrical failure. The vehicle was repaired; however, the failure recurred. The vehicle was taken back to the same local dealer; however, the cause of the failure could not be determined. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 47,000.
LANE DEPARTURE07/05/2026
The ioniq 5 highway driving assist, which steers the car and keeps it centered in the lane, will disengage without clear warning - the small green steering wheel icon (which is at the top of the dash cluster) simply becomes grey and blinks, but there's no audible chime to indicate that the car has disengaged the steering assist. I have had multiple times on the highway where it disengaged and I don't notice (because I am looking at the road, not the dash) and one time on the highway it disengaged during a turn and hit the rumble strip, causing me to swerve back onto the road. My hands were on the steering wheel and I was paying full attention, but I was expecting the car to handle the turn, and it just disengaged without me noticing. Had there been another car in the middle lane or I reacted slower, it's likely a crash would have occurred. This has been documented as well on Reddit and confirmed by multiple owners, who have mentioned they have disclosed to the manufacturer: [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
STRUCTURE,UNKNOWN OR OTHER07/05/2026
Rear hatch window spontaneously shattered for no apparent reason. Car was parked in a Florida parking lot, no use of rear hatch and no use of rear defroster. I understand there is a potential class action lawsuit for the Ioniq 5 model years 2022-2025 for this problem.
POWER TRAIN,ELECTRICAL SYSTEM06/28/2026
I have a 2023 Hyundai Ioniq 5 Limited and had the ICCU "popped" (failed) which took about two weeks to replace. This time we were lucky that in happened at our home but had we been driving the car would it would have completed died. We regularly drive from from [XXX] to [XXX] were there are large section of [XXX] with no cell service. Meaning potentially walking for miles in extreme heat or cold. Hyundai right now seems only interested in continuously replacing the part rather than actually fixing the route cause, making it so the car is not trustworthy or safe to drive long distances.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM06/22/2026
1. What component failed, and is it available for inspection? The Integrated Charging Control Unit (ICCU) failed. The vehicle is currently at the dealer's service center, so the failed component is available for inspection upon request. 2. How was your safety or others' safety put at risk? After parking and re-entering the vehicle following a grocery stop, the vehicle displayed "Check Vehicle Electrical System" followed by "Check Vehicle Power Supply" warnings. This occurred without warning while the vehicle was in normal use, and the vehicle had to be towed since it was no longer driveable. The sudden, unannounced failure of the electrical/power system created a risk of being stranded in traffic or in an unsafe location had the failure occurred while driving rather than while parked. 3. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? Yes. The vehicle was towed to the dealer's service center, where the Hyundai-certified service technician confirmed the ICCU failed and informed us it needs replacement. 4. Has the vehicle been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives, or others? The vehicle has been inspected by the dealer's Hyundai-certified service technician, who confirmed the ICCU failure. No additional inspection by Hyundai corporate, police, or insurance representatives has occurred at this time. 5. Were there any warning lamps, messages, or other symptoms prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? No warning lamps or messages appeared prior to the incident. The first symptoms were the "Check Vehicle Electrical System" and "Check Vehicle Power Supply" messages, which appeared suddenly upon re-entering the vehicle after a grocery stop, approximately one week after purchase (used) at roughly 8,000 miles.
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,SERVICE BRAKES,FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEMcrash06/10/2026
OnXXX, as we approached what I call the 6 o’clock position of a round-about in [XXX], we had braked almost to a full stop (0-5 mph) to wait on the car ahead of us to enter the round-about when we felt increasing movement. Despite braking, to wait on that car, our car with increasing speed started shoving that car into the circle. Fortunately, he was able to drive away from us, but that car had been damaged on the back and right side. With that obstacle out of the way, our car rapidly and exponentially increased speed - all while we were fully braking. Two witnesses said they saw our brake lights as we sped along. We hit the curb as we approached the 12 o’clock exit, and that turned us so that we crossed both lanes of the road and headed towards the far sidewalk and storefronts. When we hit that curb it pushed us diagonally to face the street again. Hard to estimate but we must have been doing 50 mph when we hit a very large brick planter and we finally were wedged to a stop when we slammed in between two vehicles parked parallel to the sidewalk. The motor ran for a few seconds after we stopped, and finally quit on its own. We KNOW the brake was applied the whole time; there were no visual or audible alarms from the car as we entered “UNINTENDED ACCELERATION”. Despite the incredibly strong impact (our car has been deemed totaled) the front air bags did not deploy. Only the driver’s side curtain deployed. The bumper of the parked transport van on our front left was damaged, and the small SUV on our front right was deemed totaled. No people were in those two parked cars; the first car was hit at the initial slower speed so those people were not injured. By some grace, no pedestrians were in our path or they would surely have been killed. The driver of our car (my husband) was miraculously not injured, but CT scans and x-rays showed I had several contusions and a fractured tibia that will require surgery due to brake, propulsion, no air bags.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER06/01/2026
All symptoms of a 2nd iccu failure. Pop noise heard. Warning lights came on 12v drained, vehicle towed to nearest dealer.
POWER TRAIN,ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM05/22/2026
Car indicated 12v battery was critically low and that I should stop safely. I was just starting it in a parking lot. This is a classic ICCU failure and the car is up to date on all recall updates. The car requires manual key unlocking for outside access at this point, and the rear hatch is only unlockable using the manual release mechanism which is recessed into the rear hatch and needs the key. The back two doors cannot be opened at all, from either direction and the handles don't work when the electrical system has failed and the child lock was engaged accidentally when it happened. This legitimately terrifies me for anyone traveling with back seat passengers who need quick exit. There isn't one.
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM05/20/2026
The Integrated Charging Control Unit (ICCU) failed on my 2023 Hyundai Ioniq 5. The vehicle stopped charging prematurely overnight via AC Level 2 charging and then refused to charge again at all. The ICCU is responsible for maintaining the 12V battery by topping it up during normal operation. No warning or check engine light came on, I was only made aware when I attempted L2 charging and the car would refuse to take the charge. I understand that with a failed ICCU, if I'm unaware of the failure (e.g., relies solely on DC fast charging which bypasses the ICCU), the 12V battery can deplete without warning while the vehicle is in motion, potentially causing sudden loss of vehicle systems including power steering, brakes, and other safety-critical electronics. The vehicle was parked at the time charging failure was discovered. No injuries occurred.
