ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Potential Consequences:
While driving in heavy rain, I got warning: Stop and Check Battery. When I could find a safe place I stopped and read the Manual. I could find nothing helpful. My car was 63% charged. This was the 12v battery failing. I was then 5 miles from home. I turned off radio and lights, but could not drive without wipers. At about 2 miles from home the car slowed down. I continued to lose power as the rain got heavier. I was able to keep barely moving until I pulled into my driveway. I got out and locked the car by habit. I realized I needed it unlocked, but it was too late; it was DEAD. At the end the display read Losing Power and showed a small turtle. Indeed.

Defect Description:
POWER TRAIN
Potential Consequences:
When driving for a distance at higher speeds, power will suddenly drop to the zero point btw acceleration and regeneration. You can feel the car start to drag as the power drops. If you press hard on the accelerator to stop it from slowing, it will suddenly jump forward. This has happened now on several long trips where I am constatly fighting with the car to keep it powered and not slipping into the zero zone. When it leaps forward the lane assist will also grab control and make it difficult to control the car. The car also stops slowing consistently when I take my foot off the accelerator and will move/ jump forward more than is typical for an EV instead of slowing the way an EV should as it regenerates. This all happened twice previously on a long trip and today constantly during a three hour drive. Does not feel safe!

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Potential Consequences:
1.We purchased the vehicle (Hyundai Ioniq 5, 2022 Model) on MAY 20, 2022. 2.The vehicle was acceptable until it started to fail on us while we were on the road, and soon after the vehicle crawled home at limited power and came to a stop, it would no longer even turn on. 3.Then started our nightmare with Hyundai USA. We called the service department and they told us, based on our brief description of what happened, that our vehicle would be unsafe to drive a single more mile (which was impossible anyhow because it wouldn’t turn on), and to tow our vehicle to Hyundai dealership in Fayetteville, AR for repair on DECEMBER 27, 2022 at our own expense. 4. From what Hyundai, Fayetteville, AR's service engineer named Evan told us, they have replaced the fuse no less than four times and it kept blowing when they went to test the vehicle. After the basic fuse replacement, it caused the problem to become worse, and revealed an ICCU problem, that then revealed acceleration and charging problems, and the initial fuse problem still persisted. Codes kept popping up, and whenever they fixed the current issue, another one would present. Long story short, it turned out the vehicle was experiencing “mass power surges,” issues with the batteries, and displaying codes for reasons they were unsure of, causing the basic fuse replacement to “pop.” They even called in a Hyundai Engineer directly from corporate to try to fix the vehicle, but according to Evan, even he had no idea what was wrong with the vehicle and had left with some data.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Potential Consequences:
On 3/22/23, after using my car most of the day, I started my car to leave work and heard a small pop noise and a warning appeared on my dashboard to 'Check Power Supply'. As I was relocating to another parking spot, the car gave an audible beeping warning and another warning appeared on my dashboard to 'Stop Vehicle Immediately and Check Power Supply'. After speaking with the dealership, it was determined that my car had to be towed. I did not experience any loss of power/speed because I was only in a parking lot. The dealership informed me the next day that the car needed a new fuse and ICCU, but that the part was on backorder and they did not have an estimate on when they may get the part in. Repairs to my vehicle were completed on 5/3/23 (6 weeks) later. Hyundai did agree to reimburse me for the cost of a rental vehicle, but did not reimburse me for the gas expenses that were incurred that I otherwise would not have had.
Corrective Action:
On 3/22/23, after using my car most of the day, I started my car to leave work and heard a small pop noise and a warning appeared on my dashboard to 'Check Power Supply'. As I was relocating to another parking spot, the car gave an audible beeping warning and another warning appeared on my dashboard to 'Stop Vehicle Immediately and Check Power Supply'.

Defect Description:
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Potential Consequences:
The ICCU (integrated charging control unit) failed while I was out. I had to get the car towed to a dealership and it's been sitting in their lot for over two months. It took them two weeks to even confirm the issue, and the part is on indefinite backorder at the time of writing this. When the ICCU fails, the car cannot recharge the 12V battery. This forces the car to not travel above 25 MPH and when the 12V battery finally dies, the car will not be able to start. There was no prior indicators that would suggest such a critical component was about to fail, and apparently is such a common occurrence that there is a waitlist for the replacement. My ETA has been pushed back 3 times so far.

Defect Description:
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Potential Consequences:
My car is unable to charge at the advertised 48A charge limit due to overheating of the charge port. Once I start charging, within 30 minutes to 2 hours the car will stop charging abruptly. It appears this is due to the AC Inlet port sensor reading 212F degrees when the issue occurs. The car is advertised as having 48A charging and if it’s not capable of this, Hyundai needs to resolve it.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Potential Consequences:
The charge port in the car overhears when on a Level 2 (240v) charger running above 30 amps. This is happening to most 2022 Ioniq 5 cars, not just mine. Hyundai is aware and they just made it harder to charge over 30 amps. This is incredibly dangerous! They need to recall the associated parts before fires occur. It is unsafe to charge the car at the advertised rate!!
