ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:PROPULSION SYSTEM:TRACTION BATTERY

Hyundai Motor America (Hyundai) is recalling certain 2025-2026 IONIQ 5 and 2026 IONIQ 9 vehicles. The high voltage battery system may contain an improperly tightened bus bar, which can cause a short-circuit.

I purchased the car on January 13 2026 the car was dellry to my house that night around 5:50 pm MT two days later my Control Unit (CU) went bad the car went back to the dealership with the first available appointment on the 20th I was told the CU needed to be replace. the car was ready for pick up on the 29th. I received the car at 5:40 pm MT on January 30th around 6:39am MT. I started the car and was going to go to the dealership and less then 2 mins information cam on the dash saying stop vehicle and check power supply. I tired to drive to the dealership but the car would not going pass 24mph and would be unsafe to drive. so I got it towed to the dealership later I was called and told the Integrated Charging Control Unit (ICCU) is often referred to as a critical "brain" or "heart" of the vehicle's power management system is bad and needs to be replace. after that I did research on the ICCU and found on this is a common problem with Hyundai & Kia EV vehicles and increasing at a alarm

The Integrated Charge Controller Unit (ICCU) failed at 7622 miles, causing the pyrotechnic fuse to fail as well. The vehicle was towed to the nearest Hyundai dealer. Repairs took 2 and 1/2 weeks due to parts availability. My wife, who was driving at the time, could have been stranded. Fortunately, the failure occurred close to our home. The dealer did confirm the fault code and failure of the ICCU and fuse. Warning messages appeared AFTER the failure, not before, including one sent to my phone a day later.

The vehicle was plugged in overnight. To the set 80% limit. When I got up to leave for work and take family out. The vehicle check electrical system warning ⚠️ came on and the then the vehicle would not drive past 41mph. Then in a few minutes dropped down to 28mph and would not go any further. Took the car to dealership which was miles away and 18 miles per hour was my top speed when I pulled in to the dealership lot. This was one day after I had dropped the car off for a route 7K mile tire rotation and filter change. They claimed they topped off fluids. I keep reading that the ICCU is failing on the Ioniqs and this symptoms seem to match. I am now waiting on diagnosis to be done Tuesday or Wednesday this week of the 5th.

While driving on the freeway utilizing Highway Drive Assist, I suddenly received a warning on the heads up display stating that assisted systems were unavailable, at which point the Adaptive Cruise Control & Lake Keep Assist both deactivated. I pressed the button on the steering wheel to reactive the system and received "conditions not met" error. At this point, I placed my foot on the accelerator and it was completely unresponsive. I stabbed at hte accelerator as well as held it down without issue. Regenerative breaking also did not reactive. Fortunately, I had enough momentum to change lanes safely to the shoulder and power cycle the car. I took the car to my local dealership who did a brief test drive and could not recreate, returning the car to me without contacting Hyundai proper, and recommending I call them directly myself.

When my Ioniq 9 was in reverse, the brake did not work. The car kept rolling and I had to turn it off to stop the car.

Occasionally while driving my IONIQ 9 in sunny conditions with glasses on while utilizing Lane Keep Assist and the Adaptive Cruise Control system the car flashes a Warning about keeping your attention on the road, and then continues on beeping and chiming before ultimately completely stopping in the middle of the road unless you disengage the Lane Keeping Assist and Adaptive Cruise Control. I believe the sensors on top of the Steering Wheel aren’t calibrated that great for people who wear glasses, as this issue does not occur when I take my glasses off. I am not in any way obstructing the sensors, and in all cases when this has occurred, my attention is on driving and the fact that the vehicle begins to decelerate into a complete stop while in the middle of traffic is terrifying. This has happened to me about 3 times now since getting the car and all 3 times it was while I was wearing my regular glasses. When I have my sunglasses on I haven’t experienced the issue.

My ICCU failed, which caused a fuse to blow and some electrical wiring in the car to melt. This caused the car to completely deplete the 12V battery, which left the car completely inoperable. The vehicle was towed to a Hyundai dealership, where they ordered the relevant parts and changed them under warranty. I was without the car for roughly two weeks.
