The ICCU died and the fuse on my traction battery blew. Both had to be replaced. I realized I had the problem when I started my car and it showed "Check Electric Vehicle System". When I tried driving it, I was limited to speeds below 45MPH, then eventually 25MPH, and eventually it would enter "turtle mode" and I could limp along at a couple MPH. I found the car would no longer charge the 12V accessory battery and it would no longer receive a charge from my home charger.

My car is less than a year and a half old with only about 10k miles and last night I had the ICCU failure. I already had the software update to "fix" this safety recall 272 but it obviously didn't work. I am a female with a young daughter who was almost stranded in a bad neighborhood as suddenly my car wouldn't go faster than 15 miles an hour and I looked it up and knew it would just stop suddenly at some point. I only had a quick 1 min warning when I turned on my car that said "Check Electrical Vehicle System" then switched to "Stop vehicle and check power supply". My car is now at the dealership and I was told they have to put the same type of part back in as there are no new versions of it. Which is why others have had this happen multiple times.

Warning came on the dashboard to check electrical and stop driving which I did and started up the car again and was only able to drive another minute until the entire car lost power while trying to accelerate and I had to have an emergency pull off into a strip mall off of a busy street car was towed although the Hyundai Road assistance did not know that the dealer they towed to was not able to work on electric vehicles, and therefore had to be restored. At this time, I was told it was an ICCU issue. The part was ordered, and I am waiting to hear back from the dealership.

I leased the 2025 Hyundai Ioniq 6 in April of 2025, in November of 2025 the car charging time started to increase when using L3 charging stations. The normal charging time would be 15 minutes for the battery to reach 80% capacity and an additional 30 minutes for the battery to reach full capacity. After November it took 20 to 30 minutes for the battery to reach 80% capacity. On January 2, 2026, I was charging the car at a L3 station and when charging was completed the car no longer worked. The car displayed the message “Please unplug the charger to start the car.” But the car was not plugged in. I tried to trouble shoot for 20 minutes and had to call a tow truck for the car to be towed to Hyundai. The car sat at the Hyundai dealership for a week with the battery power draining from even though it was not turned on nor was it drivable due to the error message. According to the Hyundai website, there was an open recall on this car for the ICCU, and I show no record of this issue bei
