| Electrical System | 29973.5%ODI 11460054I started my car up right after charging on a rainy day at 2500 miles exactly and got 5 warnings. Check battery, lane assist warning, abs warning, parking brake warning, forward collision warning and bling spot collision avoidance warning lights were on. More or less all these systems triggered a fault. I tried turning it off and on to no luck. As I drove to the dealer my breaks became steadily lighter and lighter with the manual break even clicking at times. My breaking distance was doubled by the time that i got there. Other owners are seein… | 27370.4%ODI 11510093I've owned this car for 4 months now. We own 2 electric cars, 1 ioniq 5 and 1 Fiat 500e. We have a level 2 charger in the garage. A month ago I noticed the ioniq stopped charging overnight. When I tried the next day, it charged for about 30 minutes, then I would get a msg on my phone saying charging had stopped. I can remotely start the charging again, but then it would stop every 10 or 15 minutes. This is still happening. The Fiat has no issues charging, leaving me to believe it's not the charger that is the problem. I've even reduced the char… | 17778.3%ODI 11555100Another complain for investigation PE 23-011. First car was DOA, second had an exploding pop sound and no longer charges, car is no longer usable, only 200 miles. | 22876.0%ODI 11649366These cars still have problems keeping the 12v charged. Car was leased on Jan 19. 12v first died on Feb 15, took it to dealer where they trickle charged it. 12v died again on Feb 18, dealer replaced the 12v. The 12v died again on Mar 11 and is still at dealer service center. Case with Hyundai corporate was opened and the dealer is going back and forth with them. When car is left alone for 5 days, the 12v appears as needing a replacement, so there is something wrong with the system that keeps the 12v charged or there is some parasitic drain some… | 1241.4%ODI 11714591My BRAND NEW car is suffering an ICCU issue. I first noticed the screens going completely black while driving. I then noticed that I can’t charge at all on Lvl 1 and Lvl2 chargers (AC), but I went to the dealership and the helped me charge on lvl 3 DC fast charging. This is an incredibly dangerous problem, if this results in my 12V battery dying, I could be stranded while driving. | 00.0%No examples available for this selection. |
| Fuel/Propulsion System | 9022.1%ODI 11498694The car randomly stops charging when plugged into either of my Level 2 home Juicebox 40 chargers before it reaches capacity, generally after adding another 4-8% to the battery. It was impossible for me to fully charge the car without plugging it in multiple times. The service people including the EV specialist said they hadn’t heard of this problem, and it was probably due to my charging unit at home. See the attached service and repair invoice . This was not true It is apparently a well-known defect in the Hyundai and Genesis cars using … | 6717.3%ODI 115276822023 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. | 5122.6%ODI 115714601. 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.

The car had been parked in my driveway with about 80% charge while I was away for several days. When I attempted to drive it, the vehicle would not shift out of neutral. No warning lamps or error messages were displayed before the failure. The vehicle was towed to Van Hyundai in Carrollton, TX on April 3.

The contact stated that as her father attempted to place the vehicle into reverse(R) while in park(P), the gear shifter failed to operate as needed. As her father exited the vehicle with the gear shifter in the park(P)position, the vehicle accelerated on its own into his garage. The air bags did not deploy upon impact. The contact's father was not injured and a police report was not filed. The garage door and pillar were damaged, as well as, the vehicle's driver-side door. The vehicle was initia… | 7218.6%ODI 11523865When using the most aggressive braking energy recovery mode in the Hyundai Ioniq 5 (i-Pedal), the brake lights do not illuminate despite the aggressive nature of the braking provided by this mode. This mode brings the car to a full and complete stop and is very similar to commanded braking via the brake pedal. When using the L1-L3 braking energy recovery modes, the deceleration experienced by the car is more or less mild enough that it would be similar to a downshift in a manual transmission car. But the brake lights only illuminate if your fo… | 3716.4%ODI 11626861When 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 backwards -- which is what is happening here. | 5719.0%ODI 11681677Vehicle will hesitate/shudder and pulsate at highway speeds. Between 57mph and 78mph seems to be where I can feel it the most. This happens on all drive modes and with or without brake regeneration turned on or off. Nothing seems to make it worse or better. Here is an example. If you are driving 65mph on the highway and holding your speed steady, the car motor feels like it's cutting in and out. Juddering forward and back. If you accelerate a tiny bit, it gets ever worse. It feels almost like the input signal from the peddle is choppy, causing … | 00.0%No examples available for this selection. | 00.0%No examples available for this selection. |

The rear carpet mat has a slick and very smooth rubber underside. This factory carpet liner sits on top of the factory carpet. With the rear fold down seats in the upright position, there is no problem but the liner does slide easily around as there is no way to attach it to the regular carpet. I asked the dealer who dosen't seem to be interested in helping with any other issues including this an… | 4411.3%ODI 11528341Twice this week while charging my Ionic 5 the charging stops before it is completely charged to the set point. Once the set point was at 80% and once at 100%. Both times the charging stopped and I received the message below. None of the reasons listed in message was a cause of the stopping. I have called my dealer and they are checking w/service dept to see if I need a software update. I am waiting to hear back but there is obviously something wrong with the rate of charge. I am using a Jukebox home charger. | 198.4%ODI 11583124I took my 2024 limited Ioniq 5 to the dealership [XXX] to have a TSB looked at and because on [XXX], I took out the cabin air filter out of the car, as I have been noticing a smell of chemical in the cabin of the car. I noticed that the filter was covered in blue windshield wiper fluid and smelled of the same chemical smell as what my wife and I had been smelling and what I believe has been giving us headaches on long trips when driving to San Antonio, Texas to visit our grandson over the last two months. The Technicians at the Hyundai Dealersh… | 248.0%ODI 11663796I purchased this car this week. The vehicle is equipped with a safety feature called Forward Attention Warning (FAW). Its purpose is to monitor the drivers attention (eyes??) and trigger an alert when the drivers attention is distracted for a period of time. I took it for the first time on a 150 mile trip. During the trip, the FAW alarm was triggered constantly. I tried changing my head position, taking my glasses on/off, changing my hands holding the wheel, etc. Nothing seemed to matter. It is not only a nuisance, but it causes other au… | 413.8%ODI 11732290Upon delivery of a brand new 2026 Hyundai Ioniq 5 with 13 miles on the odometer, the washer fluid warning illuminated the next day. Reservoir was refilled on 3/29 and was completely empty by 3/30. Vehicle was brought to the authorized dealer on 3/31. The technician confirmed via repair order that the washer fluid hose was actively spouting directly above the ICCU , Integrated Charging Control Unit , a safety-critical high voltage component. Washer fluid was confirmed present in the ICCU floor pan. The cause was a nail severing the washer fluid … | 00.0%No examples available for this selection. |
| Engine | 368.8%ODI 11507303On February 6, 2023 at approximately 9:50 a.m. I was driving my Hyundai Ioniq 5 SEL northbound on CA Highway 135, Santa Maria, when I heard a loud pop coming from my car. Within a few seconds my car lost speed rapidly, from 55 mph to 25 then a second later 22 mph . I tried to accelerate - there was no response - the car maintained the 22 mph. A message appeared on the right side of the dash board in an orange circle “check vehicle system” with a small upside down triangle with letters EV also inside this circle and a “small orange battery”… | 389.8%ODI 11525379What 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 n… | 229.7%ODI 11602466The car lost propulsion and displayed Check Vehicle Electric System. Now the it’s sitting at the dealership for over 30 days waiting for parts. | 206.7%ODI 11680050I have had my new car only two weeks and have driven only 500 miles. Yesterday, while driving on a freeway at constant 65 mph speed, I suddenly experienced COMPLETE POWER FAILURE. I coasted across three lanes of heavy traffic and came to a stop on the shoulder. There were no warning lights on the dashboard. I turned the car off, turned it on again, and the car drove normally. I checked on my Hyundai app and it said under Vehicle Health that all systems were normal. I called the Santa Monica Hyundai service center and was advised to drive … | 13.4%ODI 11718841The vehicle cannot initiate a level 2 charging session due to a ground fault error.

Vehicle front damage. | 184.6%ODI 11521709The Ioniq 5 offers a multi-level regenerative braking system, which slows the car down to varying degrees when letting off the accelerator pedal. While these systems work well to increase efficiency, the behaviour of the brake lights while in use is concerning. Very often the car is slowing considerably, enough to be akin to light braking, but the brake lights do not activate. This can be full let off the accelerator pedal and slowing with not brakes, or with a partial lift (especially on higher regen levels), where the vehicle is obviously slo… | 73.1%ODI 115714601.

The system will also randomly and repeatedly alarm, disable cruise control and apply the brakes even when the driver has both hands on the wheel and is facing forward. This has nearly caused crashes. Hyundai states the system is working as designed and suggested: 1. Driver is too tall for the system see my eyes. 2. Do not wear prescription glasses. … | 310.3%ODI 11714869While driving at highway speeds (approximately 70 MPH) with the vehicle's Assistive Driving functions engaged, the Driver Monitoring System (DMS) malfunctioned.

For example, I can be driving 60mph and decelerate to ~2mph as quickly as other drivers coming to a complete stop, but my brake lights will not illuminate until my foot is **completely** removed from the pedal. This is contradictory to the way one-pedal driving works, since coming to a smooth and slow stop requires that you slowly lift off the accelera… | 94.0%ODI 11598800My vehicle was 4 weeks old. On Friday 6/28/24, my vehicle displayed the following message on the dashboard, "Check Brake System". It disappeared later, and reappeared on the next day. I checked Hyundai's app, Bluelink. There was a alert on Bluelink, "Attention Needed". I opened the alert and it said that there was a Diagnostic Trouble Code, DTC C123501, that originated on 6/30/24.

With Hyundai's HDA and lane keep active, the system keeps chiming, claiming that the driver is not looking at the road when we are. In fact, the calibration is so poor that it is a safety issue. The constant random warnings are very distracting, and sometimes the system does not recapture your eyes before timing out and hard braking the car on the highway. This is really unacceptable and … | 26.9%ODI 11760015I am reporting a suspected safety defect involving inconsistent deceleration behavior in my 2026 Hyundai IONIQ 5. I regularly use Hyundai’s i-PEDAL one-pedal-driving mode. In this mode, releasing the accelerator produces strong regenerative deceleration and can bring the vehicle to a stop. However, the vehicle does not retain this selected driving behavior after it is turned off and restarted. It reverts to a mode requiring substantially more use of the brake pedal. The behavior also changes in connection with shifting into reverse. In a Cost… | 00.0%No examples available for this selection. |

I was traveling 75mph on a major highway with a semi behind me and one to my right in the slow lane. The car stopped accelerating and I was unable to resume driving. I was forced to coast to a stop on the side of the highway. I had my daughter with me and were I not able to safely maneuver between the semi trucks, we could have been killed or seriosuly injured in a high speed crash. | 112.8%ODI 11527772While 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.
