EV goes into power limited mode when on interstate when going ~50 miles while driving 70mph or more. Happened each of my 3 times on interstate of about that distance. First time was Sat 4/29 while in eco mode with 70% battery and 82°F outside, 1 hr drive 50+ miles. Second time was in normal mode Friday 5/12, 55% battery 72°F outside 1 hr drive 50+ miles. Third time was in normal mode and it happened after 42 miles. I scheduled a service after the first incident but they were only able to take it on 5/31. When this happens you lose ability to accelerate and have to coast to the side of road and let it sit for 10+ minutes to clear and then can resume, I would take surface roads after it occurred. Impacts safety for self and others, as it drastically slows without brake lights causing a high chance of being rear ended. The last incident was close to it. As it was getting worse I stopped driving on interstate with it. Car has been at the dealership's service department since 5/31. They were able to easily reproduce once they finally got to it. They diagnosed a bit and then consulted design engineers. Diagnosed on and off for a couple weeks and have finally decided to replace the drive motor. Part received Friday 6/16, to be installed tomorrow 6/20. We'll see if that addresses.

The charging system in the 2023 Ioniq 5 has multiple issues with connectivity and charging above a certain threshold. When charging at home using an electrician certified install by Merit and a county approved installation and Emporia EVSE 48A charger, the car prompts with a message that reads "Electric Vehicle Charge Alarm was processed. Your vehicle is not charging because of a connection failure. Possible reasons include: blackout, payment incompletion, charging stop button enabled." This has only recently started happening with the temperature in the closed garage reaching above 80F. The only way to rectify is to charge below 40A and this same issue is being reported by other Ioniq 5 owners via online forums as well. As it relates to DC fast charging at public infrastructure, the Ioniq 5 has a reliability problem with connectivity to the CCS1 ports that are used with Electrify America stations. The common denominator appears to be the charging port of the Ioniq 5.

While driving on the interstate my 2023 Ioniq 5 SEL RWD experienced a failure with the front radar system stating that it was blocked. In reality there was nothing physically blocking the system which was verified on multiple pullovers to check the front of the vehicle. This caused the critical forward safety functions, HDA system, lane change assist functions, regeneration system, and smart cruise control to all be disabled. The car is available for inspection upon request and I have video of the car displaying the fault messages during the trip as it happened on multiple occasions.

We purchased our 2023 Ioniq5 approximately 7 months ago. We saw an article in the newspaper about the 2022 Ioniq losing power while driving. That has happened to us 3 times in the last several months so it is not strictly the 2022 model. One time was particularly scary as I was entering a busy freeway the car lost power and as much as I pushed on the pedal I could not go more than 20mph. This happened for about 15-30 seconds then finally accelerated. My husband said he has experienced the same problem with this vehicle on 3 different occasions. Thank you.

2023 Hyundai Ioniq 5 (SEL, AWD) has bad ICCU (intergrated charging control unit). Will only charge at DC chargers reliably, level 2 or level 1 chargers will only work intermittently. Has been in the shop 2 weeks with no estimated repair date as the ICCU is on backorder. This issue is affecting a lot of Hyundai/KIA/Genesis customers who's vehicles share the same platform. The dealer won't even say where I am in line to receive the ICCU vs. everyone else in North America. This is really unacceptable for a car I paid almost $60,000 for.

The charging port on the electric vehicle appears to have poor cooling as the port frequently overheats when connected to any level 2 charger that is within the vehicle's approved specs. I've measured it going as high as 200 degrees F before the car stops accepting a charge, and even after that the port will remain piping hot until it is physically unplugged. This is quite dangerous as I mostly charge at night and am asleep when it happens in my garage. A quick search online shows that hundreds of Ioniq5 owners are having the same issue. Hyundai released a technical service bulletin(23-EV-003H), so I can take it into a dealer for a software update that will fix the issue. However, that update only succeeds in restricting how much current the car will accept in order to keep the temperature within safe levels. This means that the car I purchased cannot function safely as advertised.

What component or system failed or malfunctioned: Rear electric motor. Specifically the "engine oil pump" that is used to cool the rear motor. The pump does not respond to MCU commands and does not cool the motor. This causes the motor to overheat after about an hour of highway driving causing the motor to provide VERY limited power. How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk: When the above happens the car experiences a delayed throttle, and very little power to accelerate. This occurs while traveling on a highway where you may need to pass, but no longer have the power to do so safely. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center: Dealer took the car in and did not properly attempt to reproduce the issue. Then stated that if the car does not produce a DTC then there is no issue. The dealer has since refused to accept the car again. This has been reproduced here: https://www.ioniqforum.com/threads/rear-motor-not-operating-45-min-after-charge.46007/ Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others: No, I have just started the process of reaching out to the manufacture, and if this fails I will be using my states lemon laws. Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear: No this issue does not appear to throw any codes, lights, or messages. The dash shows the rear engine producing no power, and the throttle will only show half when pressed to the floor.

12v battery died within 6 days and needed to be jumped. Another 4 days and the 12v will not hold a charge at all. This is a new 2023 Ioniq 5 Limited AWD. Odo on the lot was 13 miles. Odo at 10 days was around 280. Waiting to hear from Hyundai, but dealer confirmed 12v is bad. Currently unknown if ICCU is also faulty.

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.
