Doom of IONIQ 5 EV ... Charging Failure (ICCU)

Hopefully, this issue does not happen to you!
I thought I dodged a bullet...
Even though Hyundai has been aware of this issue for a year now they still do not have a solution.
No ICCU in stock and no ETA when it will become available.
Too bad, since this is a really great car otherwise.

[@fmhqbattousai]

There's an active recall campaign on the ICCU for these cars. They do one of two things : Check the module to see if it's still working and update the software to keep it from frying, or replace the ICCU (takes longer) Mine was in the shop for a month waiting for parts, I suspect they replaced the ICCU entirely lol

[@ShredPhred]

This is a negative blow to the reputation of Hyundai.... Just when I thought they had turned the corner on reliability....

[@dj.mb_one]

they have..even if this happend 1000 times it will still be better then Tesla or other evs. :)

I had my 2023 Ioniq 5 LTD AWD for less than 3 months and now it is currently in the shop again for the 5th time for a dead 12V battery. I have now started a buyback case with Hyundai and a lemon law claim. Hyundai has no idea what the issue is. They claimed it was 3rd party apps draining Bluelink and they fixed the issue by limiting how many times Bluelink can accept these 3rd party requests. They requested that I remove mine which I did and guess what? It did work and the battery died again. Clearly, Hyundai has no clue what is happening. They even claimed to my Hyundai mechanic that they never heard of this before but they declared it fixed over a year ago with the Bluelink change. A complete lie. We have owned over 6 Hyundais and have never had issues like this and I have to say their handling of this situation has been really poor.

I'm going through this right now. Today I was driving and heard that same pop. the warning like came on. "check electric vehicle system" follow by "Stop vehicle and check power supply". Good thing I was far from home. Drove right back and make an appointment. I won't be able to bring it in till 2 week from now!

[@VirtualMotivation411]

Hopefully they will get it done then, If they start stalling past 20 days get a lemon law firm and they will get it done in a 2 days. That's what I did and they fixed it right away plus 2500.00 for a inconvenience.

[@conradsteeneck7971]

This is a warranty issue, right? You shouldn't have to pay for ANYTHING. Please keep us updated. Did the dealer provide a LOANER at least?? Best of luck with this...

[@VirtualMotivation411]

There were 18 customers ahead of me for a loaner, I rented a car (Hyundai pays up to 35$ a day). Last Monday I contacted a Lemon law attorney and my car went from we don't have a ICCU and no ETA on when it is coming... to this Wednesday getting a call that the car is fully repaired (maybe it is coincidence ... maybe not) I picked it up ... everything was under warranty, they changed a ICCU, fuse and battery.

[@conradsteeneck7971]

Glad to hear it’s repaired. Best of luck in the future.

[@kwmlin02]

@@VirtualMotivation411 What is the cost you have to pay the attorney? Are you in California?

[@itsTenVi]

most people I know that have ICCU issues have been getting the part within 5-7 days.

[@allenbaylus3378]

I am unsure what region he is from and how big the Hyundai dealer is - and also what the lead time of these parts are.

[@RegiVelJohnson]

I'm on day 23 with no eta on when it will be fixed.

[@xraylife]

Get a Toyota ICE next time they can last 800K or more with nothing going wrong, that's 20 years or more of worry free driving. Not fail at 21K miles like this EV - what a joke.

[@CodyDavis91]

Ignorance

[@denystoloshny5845]

what are those numbers, 40K a year? who drives that much?

[@kingsleybarnie6280]

Ewwwww

[@DrDoohickey]

Toyota is full of it. Desperate not to appear to have missed the EV boat.

[@CodyDavis91]

Tesla. No other brand is close.

[@nolomite3921]

I like Teslas but went with the Ioniq. The Ioniq feels like a more premium car. Far better quality interior, physical buttons, a heads up display, rear view mirror LCD with camera, shaded sunroof, faster charging architecture, better suspension, quieter ride and although I like the styling of Teslas I like the Ioniq more. You see Teslas everywhere now and it feels a lot like the “me too” car now. Tesla has their charging infrastructure which is absolutely a plus, and the best self driving, but beyond that I like the Ioniq so much more. The ICCU has been the biggest issue, but that’s just one fast swappable module that doesn’t brick the car. 2022 was the first model, Teslas had many issues of their own. Other car companies are catching up quick and even improving. Tesla is betting all out on self driving, but if it has to be “supervised” it really misses the mark.

[@akennedystocks]

​@@nolomite3921There is no car that comes close to the Tesla in technology or capabilities! Now with the refresh the Tesla is way better!

[@nolomite3921]

@@akennedystocks Technology and capabilities is not everything. For the price they need to up their game. Those interiors feel like plastic, the suspension is not great, there should be a speedometer in front of you. They try to sell the minimalist interior as a stylistic choice but they are really just being cheap. Put some buttons in there lol. Find a new body style, no one wants to see everyone driving the same car, but it’s cheaper for them to stamp out panels that way. Yes they are capable but for the price it leaves a lot to be desired. I didn’t save money buying my Ioniq, I could have easily bought a Model Y, but I think the Ioniq is a way cooler car.

[@akennedystocks]

@@nolomite3921 Well, the refreshed Tesla Model 3 is pretty much there. Hyundai is going to die on the sword with their $50,000 battery replacement AND dying charge control module that is essentially bricking these cars all over the world.

[@nolomite3921]

@@akennedystocks The term “Bricking” entails that the car wouldn’t work anymore. The ICCU has been addressed in a recall issued in March, and is a relatively quick and easy repair. Not “Bricked” at all. They were probably low in stock but that will change. The 2025 will undoubtedly address these issues and older models can easily be fixed. It’s good that the Model 3 is coming with a refresh. I’ll consider a Tesla in the future when they start listening to what customers really want.

[@fernandinand]

That's why ioniq 5 is now on sale! Stay away from it...

[@DrDoohickey]

BS - Tesla troll. All EVs are being pushed with promos. Ioniq 5 has won many awards.

[@fernandinand]

@@DrDoohickey I do not own a Tesla troll! I have a ioniq classic and a leaf. Suck that! 🤡🤡

[@akennedystocks]

Wait until you need a battery out of warranty, only $50,000 the STEALERSHIPS are charging!

[@nolomite3921]

The car comes with a 10 year 100,000 mile warranty, and if you had to replace it you can buy them outside of the dealer for much cheaper.

[@akennedystocks]

@@nolomite3921 No you can't! You have to buy those through the STEALERSHIPS!

[@DrDoohickey]

Independent estimates show battery life on modern EVs exceeding 200k miles.

[@akennedystocks]

@@DrDoohickey The 200k miles is not the point if Hyundai decides to not honor their warranty and charge you $50,000 replacement one. For the record Hyundai is famous for not honoring their warranties!

[@akennedystocks]

@@DrDoohickey Maybe for Tesla, not Hyundai.

[@akennedystocks]

Should have bought a Tesla!

[@DrDoohickey]

Yeah, that way, you'll be able to enjoy all those extra squeeks and rattles, failed suspension, and peeling paint. If you're really lucky, it will 'full self-drive' into a highway crash barrier.

[@akennedystocks]

@@DrDoohickey You might be talking about the Tesla five years ago with paint peeling and oh my goodness squeaking that the manufacturer will fix for free! Enjoy your un-american Hyundai and the STEALERSHIPS will bend you over and treat you really good I am sure.

[@akennedystocks]

​@@DrDoohickeyOh, the squeaks and rattles are from Tesla 5 years ago or older. Also, maybe you have seen the latest but with FSD from Tesla you are about 80 TIMES LESS LIKELY TO GET into an accident. What other lies you got?

[@DrDoohickey]

@@akennedystocks Rode in my neighbor's 2-Year-old model 3 recently. Very noisy, rattly. Test drove a nearly new model Y shortly after. Also noisy. Ioniq 5 - whisper quiet. But don't take my word for it. Plenty of reviews out there say the same thing.

[@akennedystocks]

@@DrDoohickey Well my 2022 Tesla Model 3 is "whisper quiet". Any minor noises Tesla fixed free. Also any new reviews on KZbin on the new highland model 3 tells how quiet and refined it is. So how do you account for that?
