Service Brakes · reported Nov 10, 2026
Component: regenerative braking / brake control (IEB/ESC) and/or VCU software. Vehicle is at Planet Hyundai in CO, available for inspection. Problem: Driving downhill and entering a turn while slowing on regen (foot off accelerator), the car suddenly stops decelerating and surges forward for about [1-2] seconds, then regen resumes. Friction brakes do not engage to make up for the lost braking. It has happened repeatedly at about 40-50 mph on mountain roads near [XXX]. I have tried all regen settings. Safety risk: Braking is lost and the car gains speed mid-turn on steep mountain roads with…
Forward Collision Avoidance · reported Nov 9, 2026
The vehicle uses an in-cabin infrared camera to monitor driver vigilance. The camera has known limitations "seeing" the driver's eyes through certain glasses, including regular prescription glasses needed for driving. Because of this limitation, the system incorrectly believes that the driver is being inattentive and looking away from the road. Alarms are activated, and eventually the ADASs indicated (adaptive cruise control, lane keep assist) deactivate suddenly at highway speeds, putting the occupants of the vehicle as well as other vehicles at risk from distraction and the sudden slowdown…
Power Train · reported Nov 9, 2026
While driving at highway speeds on freeway, the vehicle suddenly presented warning message, "Stop vehicle and check power supply". Immediately after the warning appeared, the vehicle experienced a rapid loss of propulsion and entered a "limp mode", gradually losing power over the course of a few minutes as it limped into a safer location to wait for tow services. The sudden loss of drive power on an active freeway put the safety of myself and other motorists at risk, forcing me to navigate the vehicle off the roadway and onto a side street at an extremely low speed. The vehicle was…
Electrical System · reported Oct 27, 2026
Second failure of the Integrated Charging Control Unit (ICCU) on this 2025 IONIQ 5. The ICCU stopped charging the 12-volt battery, leaving the vehicle unable to start. This is the second time the ICCU has failed and required replacement in approximately one year. The vehicle was towed to the dealer. ICCU failure can cause a loss of drive power while driving; this failure was discovered while parked. Earlier model years (2022-2024 IONIQ 5) are covered by recall 24V-868 for this same defect; this 2025 vehicle is outside that recall population and has now failed twice.
Electrical System · reported Oct 20, 2026
On XXX, while driving my 2025 Hyundai Ioniq 5 on a local road, the vehicle suddenly lost power and would not accelerate beyond 40 MPH. There was no prior warning. I had not yet merged onto the expressway. Had this happened at highway speed, I would have been unable to keep up with traffic, which would have created a serious risk of a collision. I continued driving at reduced speed until I could safely pull into a gas station. Once stopped, the instrument cluster displayed "Stop vehicle and check power supply." About 10 minutes later, with the vehicle parked and still on, it displayed "Check…
