   OnXXX, as we approached what I call the 6 o’clock position of a round-about in [XXX], we had braked almost to a full stop (0-5 mph) to wait on the car ahead of us to enter the round-about when we felt increasing movement. Despite braking, to wait on that car, our car with increasing speed started shoving that car into the circle. Fortunately, he was able to drive away from us, but that car had been damaged on the back and right side. With that obstacle out of the way, our…

   Car indicated 12v battery was critically low and that I should stop safely. I was just starting it in a parking lot. This is a classic ICCU failure and the car is up to date on all recall updates. The car requires manual key unlocking for outside access at this point, and the rear hatch is only unlockable using the manual release mechanism which is recessed into the rear hatch and needs the key. The back two doors cannot be opened at all, from either direction and the…

   The Integrated Charging Control Unit (ICCU) failed on my 2023 Hyundai Ioniq 5. The vehicle stopped charging prematurely overnight via AC Level 2 charging and then refused to charge again at all. The ICCU is responsible for maintaining the 12V battery by topping it up during normal operation. No warning or check engine light came on, I was only made aware when I attempted L2 charging and the car would refuse to take the charge. I understand that with a failed ICCU, if I'm…

   While charging my vehicle at home using a level 2 charger, the ICCU failed. When it failed, it caused a power surge and my level 2 charger “exploded.” It also caused the master breaker to trip, cutting the power off to my entire house. The vehicle no longer charges, will not drive over 25mph and has to be towed to a dealership for repair. Also, the level 2 charger is fried and no longer works.

   I am writing to notify you of an Integrated Charging Control Unit (ICCU) failure on my 2023 Hyundai Ioniq 5, purchased in October of 2023. While driving home on March 4 2026, the dashboard displayed the warning "Check vehicle electrical system," and then a "pull over safely" warning. I had to leave the vehicle in a parking lot and walk home. It was towed to a dealer on March 5, 2026 to diagnose and repair the problem. The car has just under 17000 miles on it. I was told the…

    My wife was driving our Ioniq 5 on the freeway. She received a message on the dash about the electrical system (probably ICCU failure), and then the car limited itself ("turtle mode") so that the max speed was 20mph. A minute or two later it slowed down even further to 10mph. She was able to get off the freeway safely.

    The vehicle lost its ability to charge via AC power sources (level 1 and level 2), and the "Check vehicle electrical system" warning appeared on the dash. When using an OBD scanner, DTC P1E01 was present. It was inspected by a dealer, who informed me that the ICCU is in need of replacement, despite this component having been already addressed by a previous recall. Unfortunately the replacement component is backordered and there is no ETA available on the fix. For the time…

    We had the Internal Charge Control Unit replaced due to a warranty recall a couple years ago and it failed again on Dec. 23, 2025. The car has been at the dealer ever since, waiting for a replacement ICCU. The car refuses to charge and the dealer has diagnosed the issue as a faulty ICCU. There were no warnings or problem indicators prior to failure. This is our only vehicle, so while there was no safety issue, there is definitely a convenience issue. We had to obtain a…
