Hyundai Ioniq 5

Does the flap issue happen a lot, and if I am buying a used i5, does the issue come on the info screens, or is something you check for manually

It's shows up as an error on the screen but it doesn't stop you from driving the car.

I had mine changed last week under warranty, they only had the car for a couple of hours.

So if it does go wrong it's an easy fix once they have the part.

If it has had a deep discharge then it's not going to recover after a few short trips.

It needs to be connected to a trickle charger for at least a few days to bring it back up to a healthy voltage, driving the car isn't enough.

I'd question the 2 year 12v battery warranty (maybe you have already) but it seems like a very coincidental time frame?

It's a common enough warranty period for car batteries.

Completely understandable. Makes it a bit easier to swallow! I heard some horror stories of costs of 12V replacement at main dealers.

Don't be too thankful of their generosity though, its about 5 minutes work! I replaced the one in our 221 Ioniq 38 last week after it left me wife stranded one day, our car was second hand from NI though. I think my wife probably did sit in the car on her phone with the car off, so there probably wasn't even any need to replace it (at the time neither of realised that would have as big an impact, but it seems like it does)

I also sympathise with your sentiment in the first post. My previous car was 16 years old and I had it for 11 years and generally was quite reliable, so for the ioniq to let us down within the first two weeks really knocked the confidence in it! Even if my wife did sit in the car for a few minutes, there is not a hope it would have had the same impact with any car we have had before. It owes us a good run of reliable driving from here on in!

The problems you've had are model-specific, not EV-specific.

You'll have issues with other Ioniq 5s.

Hyundai’s IONIQ 5 electric car

Hyundai Motor Group will launch a large-scale electric vehicle recall. It is the largest voluntary recall in three years since the automaker entered the market with an electric vehicle-only platform (E-GMP) in 2021. Hyundai and Kia will replace faulty integrated charging control units (ICCUs) in some of their EV models through this recall. The recall is expected to reach 170,000 vehicles in Korea. At the same time, Hyundai Motor Group will also recall them in major EV markets such as North America and Europe. In both Korean and overseas markets, the number of recalled vehicles is expected to hit 500,000.

The recall has been confirmed for electric vehicle models equipped with ICCUs including the Hyundai IONIQ 5 and the Genesis GV60. The models to be recalled will be announced by the Korean Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, and Transport this week. Apart from Hyundai, Kia is also planning to recall vehicles using the same components. Kia’s EV6 and other models use ICCUs from the same manufacturer as the IONIQ 5.

An ICCU is responsible for managing electric vehicles’ power and controlling batteries. If there is a problem with an ICCU, the electric car may not start, its battery may be discharged, and it may not be possible to fully charge the battery. In the meantime, there have been many reports of ICCU failures in Korean electric cars among members of internet car communities in Korea.

Hyundai and Kia are also aware of the ICCU problem. Last year, they provided free repairs to update related software and replace the faulty ICCU. However, after more than half a year of free repairs, they have decided to issue a voluntary recall as reports continued.

Hyundai and Kia plan to issue a software update once they receive the recalled models. They will also replace the ICCU if a faulty code is found in the vehicles.

A separate investigation was underway in the United States regarding the recall. The US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) conducted its own investigation following a complaint that the IONIQ 5 loses power while running. “It was determined that the power loss was caused by the ICCU,” the NHTSA said in its preliminary report on the case, “We found that the transistor could be damaged due to overcurrent within the ICCU.” Hyundai Motor Group’s decision to recall the models is likely a proactive move ahead of regulatory decisions in North America and Europe, some experts say.

Some auto industry observers believe that the large-scale recall may lead to the further deterioration of the already sluggish EV market. “The Korean electric vehicle market has seen slower growth than global electric vehicle markets such as that of Europe,” said an auto industry insider. “The recall may kindle a drop in demand for electric vehicles.”

I had my car in before Christmas to get the ICCU issue checked, it's not clear if this is a separate recall!

What year is your ioniq 5 ?,mine is 2023-had the iccu recall which was simply a software update, hasn't missed a beat otherwise. I'm actually thinking of getting another one.(New facelift model coming.)

Wow, that's a lot of stuff to go wrong on one car, have the garage given any options for replacing the car?

Looked at a 2022 Executive plus today, no ambient mood lighting , which is strange, per the PDF above ambient mood lighting should be standard on the IOniq 5, Question to those who already have the I5 , with Executive or Executive PLus , do you have ambient mood lighting ?
