2024 Hyundai Ioniq 5 Driver assistance Problems

This is the second time the ICCU failed. The car is waiting for a full EV battery replacement. The first time the failure happened on 12/11/25, at 9,165 miles, the alert happened just before the car came to a full stop as we were driving along the road near our house, it was very difficult to steer, we were sort of stopped in the road and had to get it towed. The second time the alert came on 4/16/26 and we were able to get it to the dealer.

Incident

While driving northbound on US-280 freeway, the vehicle experienced sudden deceleration with maximum speed limited to approximately 40 mph. The dashboard displayed a "Check Power Supply" warning. The vehicle required a tow to the dealership. Dealer diagnosis indicates likely ICCU (Integrated Charging Control Unit) failure. This is a known issue affecting multiple Hyundai Ioniq 5 vehicles, with numerous consumer reports of the same failure mode. The sudden loss of propulsion at highway speed created a significant safety hazard though we were able to make it off the freeway with hazards on. However shortly after exiting the vehicle further slowed and eventually died on the side of the road as did the hazard signals.

When a car is in the process of passing me on the left during a left hand curve on the highway at highway speeds, the rear left radar sensor seems to have set off a forward collision warning. This caused the ioniq5 to do an emergency collision brake. I had to press on the accelerator to cancel the emergency brake while the other car passed me on the left. There were no cars in front of me that would have triggered a frontal collision emergency brake.

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 where the speed limit was 55. The ICCU failed according to the dealer. This has been a common issue among Ioniq5 cars and the manufacturer has failed to fixed this issue. This car presents a high failure rate of the ICCU computer that controls the entire car. Once this chip fails, the car can not be driven and it must be towed back to the dealership. This is not a one off. Hyundai also quietly remove the remote start feature to activate the heated seats. They must know that turning on the heated seats might trigger an overload causing possible risk of iccu failure.

The forward collision system will intermittently erroneously detect objects in front of the vehicle while stopped or in motion. While driving on the freeway, this will cause the car to engage the emergency braking system endangering those in and around the car. While stop to the stoplight, this causes the front detection alarm to go off. The dealership has reproduced the error and tried software updates and replacing sensors, but the problem persists.

While backing into my driveway if a car passes in front on the street my car will not continue backing up. This also happens in parking lots. While backing out of my driveway onto the street and staying in the lane closest to the driveway, traffic in the far lane will cause the car to stop moving even though the street is more than wide enough to accommodate both cars without crossing the double yellow lines. As I live on a busy street this can cause an accident. In both cases turning off the parkin sensors with the dashboard button has no effect.

The Integrated Charging Control Unit (ICCU) failed while I was driving to work. I was on the highway in the middle of a blizzard and the "Check Electric Vehicle Systems" warning popped up on my dash. It then when into a turtle mode and my car would no longer go above 15 - 20 mph. I had to exit the freeway very abruptly because my speed was dropping quickly. It was already extremely dangerous driving that day, this just added on top of it. It is available for inspection, it's been sitting at my dealership since March 6th because the ICCU is back ordered and there is no ETA when one will become available. The dealership has inspected and confirmed it is a faulty ICCU. There were no other problems with the car until the warning appeared on the dash. The ICCU has had 3 manufacturer recalls for the ICCU previously. Which I have gone in to the dealership for.

ICCU failed while driving. Causing the car to dangerously decelerate with little to no warning. The car then bricked itself on the side of the road. Diagnoses is a failed ICCU. This failure was insanely dangerous as the car lost all power and would not accelerate.

My wife was parking the 2024 ioniq and it lurched forward at a high rate of speed and slammed into another car parked in our driveway and drove that vehicle through our home garage door. She feels certain that her foot was on the brake, but even if she accidentally slipped and appleid the brake the forward collision system should have prevented the accident additionally the impact occurred with such force it is unlikely due to human error as it pushed our very heavy 4Runner back 3 feet and thorough a closed garage door.

On March 22, 2025, our 2022 Hyundai Ioniq 5 suffered a sudden, complete loss of power while driving at night, after receiving Hyundai’s recall service in January. While driving on city roads, the car displayed “Check Battery” errors despite the main EV battery showing ~75% charge. After stopping, we had AAA install a new 12V battery, which did not resolve the issue. Minutes later, while crossing a Y-shaped highway interchange, the car lost the ability to accelerate, leaving us stranded in a dangerous area. Hyundai Roadside Assistance gave an 89-minute ETA and failed to dispatch a tow capable of transporting our family of three. We were forced to call our insurance to tow the vehicle to safety. The car is now inoperable at a dealership. Hyundai has not followed up. This is a major safety concern — involving either the 12V system or software post-recall — and could impact other vehicles. Photos, screenshots, and documentation are available.

Incident

When on a highway with lane-keeping assist engaged, the car sometimes steers into the left-hand lane. It seems to happen most often when the road bends to the right. The car straddles the lane divider into the fast lane to the left. This occurs in otherwise perfect conditions: sunny, dry days on roads with clear white stripes demarking the lanes. I must fight with it to get it back in the proper lane. This is very dangerous. I'm convinced it will cause a high-speed crash. Another driver I spoke with said she had seen the same problem and wouldn't use the lane guidance because of it. I'm extremely cautious when I use it now. The problem has happened multiple times.

Backing vehicle out of driveway and went to engage brakes and they did not engage. began rolling backwards down street with steep grade. Kept stepping on brakes with no response. Had to turn into a parked vehicle to keep from rolling down steep grade and potentially off a substantial cliff. Happened today and dealership said that it may be because the "battery for the brake" had not received a charge from the main battery. Very dangerous and never disclosed. If I had not taken evasive action I could have easily been killed. Car is being dropped off at collision center today but is available for inspection. There were no warnings or other symptoms.

The collision detection and early warning system behaves in a manner that deceives the driver into believing a collision is imminent every time the car begins to reverse out of a normal parking spot you find in a parking lot. Despite the car knowing the vehicle is in the reverse gear the driver will begin receiving audible, visible, and haptic feedback alering the driver of an imminent collision. After pausing the procedure of vacating a parking spot to determine where the car has detected a collision the HUD indicates that it is the sensors in the front of the car that were detecting a possible collision despite the car being in reverse and moving away from the objects the front sensors detected. Furthermore, these alerts don't begin until you begin reversing which makes the situation very dangerous for all parties as the driver is now having to freeze and reassess again before proceeding. But the most dangerous problem about this scenario I am describing is that I as a driver have now gotten used to these "false" positives and as a result I assume any alerts I here while backing out are just the front sensors being noisy when it could be someones child behind the car I am driving. Fix this! How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? High risk. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? Yes. Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? Yes. Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? No. Working as intended from all research I have found online from other Ioniq 5 owners.

1. Uncertain which part failed. 2. safety was put at risk due to car not able to accelerate. Car would not go over 20 miles an hour on the interstate access road where traffic was going by at 50 –60 mph - four-way flashers were on and had to pull off at the first available turn but it was scary 3. Contacted local Hyundai; they are investigating a possible loaner, but haven’t said what they will do. 4. No inspections yet. 5. No warning or unusual events prior to lack of power/lack of acceleration. 6. Internet search showed that this problem has occurred to others.
