While driving, I heard a loud pop in the rear passenger side and subsequently, the dashboard showed an error to "stop vehicle and check power supply". After driving about 15 minutes, another error showed on the dashboard "12V battery voltage low. Stop safely". After coming to a stop, the vehicle completely shut off and would not turn back on. A tow truck was called and my vehicle was towed to a Hy…

The ICCU failed while driving. A loud pop occured then a red warning light came up asking you to stop the vehicle and check the power supply. The car went into turtle mode where I could at best drive 25 miles per hour. This car was part of a recall last year to prevent this issue, however only a software fix was performed. Luckly I was able to get the car home on a very cold day.
The vehicle is less than 1 years old. Had 91% charge left. Turned in the car as usual. Turned in heated seats and heated steering wheel as the outside temp was 34 degrees. A pop noise occurred and my entire dashboard flashed like a Christmas tree saying electrical system failure. Pull over safety. The cars speed was reduced to 20 mph. This was extremely scary as this happened on a main road wher…
When I started driving my car a warning to check the electrical system came on the display and the speed of the car dropped to less than 25 mph. The road we were driving on was over 45mph without a safe shoulder. After it was towed to the dealer, they diagnosed that the ICCU had failed and replaced it and a fuse. This was after all recalls and other software updates were performed many months a…
My 2024 ioniq 5 has no recall but they have a well known issue where the ICCU does not charge the 12v as expected. this results in loss of power. In my situation, i was driving on the freeway at 65MPH when i got the low 12V battery message and my car slowed down and I was not able to accelerate at even street speed. I was fortunate enough to pull the car over from the left lane to the right should…
While accelerating onto a road with cars approaching from behind, vehicle entered limp mode and was restricted to 25 MPH. I was forced to leave the roadway to avoid a collision with the vehicle behind. The street this occurred on has a speed limit of 40 MPH. The vehicle's normal acceleration was sufficient to ensure a safe gap to the approaching car, but the time it took to recognize and react to…
When driving in i-Pedal, which is a "one pedal driving option", sometimes after pausing the car rolls backs several inches. This appears to be a defect with the powetrain, regenerative braking engine, or otherwise. Hyundai's dealership has been advised of this issue; they have escalated this internally. A car in drive forward should never due to electrical or software reasons be told to move bac…
