While driving the vehicle on a local road at around 40 mph, check electrical system light came on and I heard a pop sound behind me. The vehicle would suddenly go no faster than 30 mph. Upon further driving, for additional quarter mile, it would drive no faster than 12 mph. I was able to very slowly drive it 1.5 mi back home. Once I arrive home, the vehicle was no longer operational. I confirmed that the 12-volt battery was at an extremely low charge and having the vehicle on would not charge the 12 volt battery. I believe the ICCU failed. I am waiting for Hyundai to further diagnose this.

I was pulling into my driveway and I heard a "clunk" and then an error appeared on the dashboard saying "Check electric vehicle system." My 12V battery then died. After recharging the 12V battery with an external charger, the "Check electric vehicle system" message came up again when I started the car, and I could only drive a block or so before another message on the dashboard said "Stop vehicle and check power supply." I had the vehicle towed to a Hyundai dealer where it is waiting for them to diagnose the problem. I had all of the ICCU software update recalls performed on the vehicle before this latest problem occurred.

Our all-electric AWD Hyundai Ioniq 5 has an issue where the rear motor electric oil pump (EOP) overheats and ceases to function when the problem occurs, which disables the rear motor and effectively causes the car to become a front-wheel drive vehicle with a "hesitation" in the acceleration. This problem only occurs after a long time of high-speed driving and typically on a warm day (upwards of 70-80 degrees F). When the problem occurs, the rear motor ceases to function at all and only the front motor operates to power the vehicle forward. The acceleration is also impacted, such that when the accelerator is pushed, the car "hesitates" for 1-3 seconds before the front motor takes over the demand for power and "lurches" the car forward in a jerky motion. The symptom will last as long as the car is in an overheated state. However, if you pull the car over and let it rest for a period of time (undetermined), the rear motor will again operate normally until it overheats again. For us, this occurred once on a very hot day traveling approximately 50-60 miles on interstate travelling at speeds over 70 MPH. On another occurrence, it happened after driving the car about 200 miles (stopping for a lunch break in the middle), for about 4 hours. When this problem occurs in other cars equipped with RWD only, they lose all forward power in the car and coast to a stop even when the battery still has a charge. We've taken it to our local dealership for repair on Sept 12, 2024 (McGee Hyundai of Barre, VT) and they claim that there is nothing wrong with the vehicle. After researching the topic, I've determined it is the failing rear EOP must be replaced [XXX] and [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

Failure of the Vehicle Power Supply system. ICCU failure. Car was alerting and would not go over 24mph. This is the result of a recall that I had already brought in the vehicle for in April, but they only performed a Pass/Fail test and at the time it "passed" so they didn't replace the ICCU and fuse that is required to be replaced. Two months later the car died, had to be towed and now has been at the dealership for two weeks already - 17waiting for the parts to come in. This is ridiculous because Hyundai is aware of this problem and is not fixing the issue, merely kicking the can down the road and then stranding owners for weeks without their vehicles. Unacceptable.

First indication something was going awry was when attempting to charge the car. Heard normal click indicating charge had started, but no audible announcement that charging had started. Car started throwing "Check electrical system," then power plummeted and became unresponsive to accelerator, followed by "Stop car. Check electrical system," then finally something like, "Battery is being discharged by external devices."** Car had to be towed about 60 miles to nearest Hyundai EV service center. Eight days later, I got a call from service saying that the ICCU needs to be replaced. They will update me once ETA of part is known.

The car loses power, slows down dramatically, and will not respond to the accelerator pedal. This failure has happened twice. The first time I was driving at about 40MPH on a side street when the car started slowing down with no warning and limped along at about 20MPH. I could not get it to move faster so I put my flashers on and made my way to the side of the street, pulled off of the road and shut the car off. When I restarted the car it drove normally. I reported the failure to Hyundai and they had never heard of this happening. They kept the car for 2 days and couldn't replicate the problem. That was about 2 months ago. Yesterday, 3/4/24, I was on the freeway going about 74MPH using the smart cruise control. I had just changed lanes when the car lost power and I got the message, "Smart cruise conditions not met." My speed dropped to the low 40's as other cars were whipping past me. Even though I floored the accelerator I got no response. I started the flashers, made my way to the right lane and got off on an exit ramp. I pulled off to the side of the ramp, parked the car and turned it off. Once again, when I restarted the car it performed normally. This is very dangerous! I could have easily been rear ended by another, faster car on the freeway since I slowed down so quickly without braking lights lighting. I brought it back to the dealer again today and they have kept it to run diagnostics. I don't expect that they will find any problem this time either.

PE23011 · Loss Of Motive Power

Opened Jun 8, 2023 · Closed Apr 17, 2024

Status: closed (inferred from source dates) · Electrical SYSTEM:12V/24V/48V Battery; Electrical System:propulsion System:dc/dc Converter

On June 8, 2023, the Office of Defect Investigation (ODI) opened PE23011 to investigate allegations of loss of motor power on model year (MY) 2022 Hyundai Ioniq 5 vehicles. Some consumers reported loss of motor power immediately after a warning lamp illumination or reduction of motive power while the vehicle was in motion. This investigation found that the Integrated Charging Control Unit (ICCU) may be subject to various conditions such as overcurrent, overvoltage induced at the end of charging, and certain thermal loading during operation that can damage its internal components and open the ICCU fuse, resulting in an inability to charge the 12-volt battery. The vehicle could eventually lose all motive power, increasing the risk of a crash. In July 2023, Hyundai issued a service campaign to address certain MY 2022-2023 Ioniq 5 and MY 2023 Ioniq 6 vehicles that may have low 12V auxiliary battery charging occurrences due to an ICCU fault and may set the DTC P1A9096 “DC/DC Converter Input Voltage Sensor Fault”. On March 15, 2024, Hyundai filed Safety Recall 24V-204 for 98,878 MY 2022-2024 Hyundai Ioniq 5 vehicles and MY 2023-2024 Hyundai Ioniq 6, Genesis GV60, Genesis GV70 “Electrified” and Genesis G80 “Electrified” vehicles. The recall remedy provides an inspection, and if necessary, a replacement of the ICCU and the associated fuse. The ICCU software reduces the risk of overcurrent and implements voltage peak reduction at the end of EV battery charging. The recall also includes a software update that revises the electric water pump operational threshold to reduce thermal loading during charging and driving. In view of the recall action being taken by Hyundai, ODI is closing this Preliminary Evaluation. The agency reserves the right to take additional action if warranted by future circumstances. To review the reports cited in the Closing Resume ODI Report Identification Number document, go to NHTSA.gov.
