Within that volume, owners reported 10 crashes, 0 fires, 0 injuries, and 0 fatalities. For crash performance, NHTSA's New Car Assessment Program gave this cohort an overall 5/5 rating, with 4/5 front crash, 5/5 side crash, and 5/5 rollover scores derived from standardized barrier and dynamic tests.

Component-level analysis is where model-year complaints become actionable: the top complaint category for the 2022 IONIQ 5 is electrical system with 258 filings, followed by fuel/propulsion system (77) and power train (73). Concentration in one or two component groups is the classic signature of a systemic defect; a flat distribution usually reflects normal aging, warranty complaints, or isolated build-plant variability. This model year has 3 active recall campaigns, which means the manufacturer is obligated to remedy the covered defect at no charge for the life of the vehicle — the full NHTSA campaign numbers are listed below.

NHTSA currently has 37 investigation files overlapping the 2022 IONIQ 5, and 1 remain open. Owners comparing this cohort against neighboring years should pair the counters above with the complaint-by-year trend on the parent model page — a spike in a single year often tracks to a platform refresh, a new transmission supplier, or an updated ECU calibration.

The Dealer states my ICCU has failed and will be replaced. My vehicle could no longer charge on AC power (level 1 or level 2), and eventually had to be taken to the dealer because it could not be charged at home any longer due to the ICCU failing.

20260217ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

I have had multiple issues believed to be related to the ICCU. The first issue was that my 12V battery deteriorated and died prematurely. I had to purchase a jump start charger and ultimately replace the OEM 12V battery in 2024 (within the first 2 years of owning my new vehicle) because it was failing to reliably start and I was at risk of being stranded every time I parked and turned off my vehicle. The 2nd issue occurred in Dec 2025 - the vehicle stopped charging with L1/L2 chargers. The dealer did not have availability to diagnose for 3+ weeks (until Jan'26), during which my only option was to use L3 Fast DC chargers (severely limiting my options for when/where I charge and costing a premium price). Once the dealer inspected my vehicle, they confirmed it was the ICCU and informed me there is a nationwide shortage and that it would be 6-8 weeks before a replacement was available. I'm currently at week 4 (mid-Feb) with no ETA currently available, so I'm forced to drive a replacement

While making the short drive to work on surface streets I was given a warning in an amber circle to check the electrical system. Moments later I was presented with a warning in a red circle reading "Stop vehicle and check power supply"; accompanying this warning was a drastic loss in power. Had I been on the highway I would not have been able to maintain speed with the likelihood of being stranded in an unsafe location. The dealership reported that the ICCU (internal charge control unit) had failed. This is the second such failure on this car. It has been over 4 weeks since the dealership received the car, and Hyundai has not been able to supply repair parts.

While driving on the highway during a rainstorm, the high voltage fuse on my car's Internal Charge Control Unit blew and the ICCU itself failed. This rendered the vehicle inoperable as soon as I managed to get it to the shoulder. It took two weeks to repair, and I had to argue with Hyundai's corporate lines for almost six months before the offered a partial reimbursement for their device failure.

The ICCU failed. This was verified both by my local Hyundai dealership, Conicelli, and Hyundai Corporate. My safety was put at risk because my car rapidly lost power, informing me to pull over now while I was in the middle of driving. This happened with no other warning. The component has been inspected by the manufacturer, and I had even received a recall already that was supposed to prevent this issue from happening. There were no prior warning signs other than the alert to pull over now, which accompanied a rapid loss of power.

My car is one of many Hyundai Ioniq 5 vehicles that has experienced an ICCU (Integrated Charging Control Unit) failure. This results in a car that is not drivable, and generally needs to be pulled over within a few miles, as it no longer can be driven above about 35 mph. It also will no longer charge on AC charging (level 1/2), since the ICCU is needing to convert AC -> DC to charge the main battery. This is a very well-known problem that Hyundai is addressing in only a piecemeal fashion.

The Integrated Charging Control Unit (ICCU) has intermittent failures. During the last failure, my wife was on a busy freeway (Interstate 5 near Hwy 120 northbound) in heavy but fast moving traffic. She was driving in the #2 lane (of 4 lanes) when she experienced sudden loss of propulsion. The vehicle slowed to 5 MPH in traffic that was moving 70 to 80 MPH. She had to traverse through the #3 and #4 lanes to the narrow emergency shoulder. Cars were honking and flipping her off. In the emergency lane, the vehicle completely died after 30 to 60 seconds. She was at risk of being rear ended during the dangerous 5 MPH lane changes and in the time parked in the emergency lane. She could not start the car for 15 minutes, after which the system came back to life. She was then able to start it and continue home. The first time the ICCU failed was in a parking lot. This is a known defect with Hyundai which they have attempted to rectify with Recall Campaign 272. However, they refuse t

The Ioniq 5 has a known issue with a part called the ICCU. When the part fails, which it seems to inevitably do despite multiple recall repair visits and software upgrades, the car ceases to be driveable. In advance of this moment when your multi ton vehicle turns into a brick you get a short warning saying pull over, but that is not always possible. The car starts loudly beeping and reduces its max speed to 12 mph, which is not great on the freeway. The ICCU is a huge safety problem, a known issue that Hyundai is well aware of, and the part needs to be redesigned and the NTSB needs to force Hyundai to extend greater warranty protections for this event. This just happened to me, the dealership says they have 8 other ioniq 5's in with the same issue and I am number 9 on an ioniq 5 iccu loaner car waiting list while the part is back ordered for at least one month.

After pre warming the car in the garage, I left for work. Three minutes into the drive I heard a single popping sound from the passenger side rear of the car. I then received an error on the dash "Stop Vehicle and check power supply". I them drove 4 more miles to work with the hazards on. Two hours later I attempted to drive it to the dealer and it stopped .5 miles away. Hyundai had it towed the rest of the way.
