“Driving on a public road with a 50 phone speed limit, I received an error message on my dash stating electrical failure, and then the car shut down and began to coast, I had use all my strength to turn the car towards the curb and coasted to a stop. I received an error message from multiple components and then the dash went blank.”
NHTSA complaint #11756108, filed 2026-08“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.”
NHTSA complaint #11669628, filed 2025-06“ICCU failure. Warning lights came on in the dash and diagnostic codes were available in my Hyundai app. My family and I had just gotten back from a road trip and if the ICCU would have failed while we were on the trip we would have been stranded and it would have been during the heat wave. The vehicle is currently in the service department waiting for the part to come in.”
NHTSA complaint #11750459, filed 2026-07“On 8/3/26 my Ioniq 9 had a warning message to Check the Electrical System, but provided no additional information. I was able to drive the car home, anticipating that I be able to take it in to the Hyundai dealer where i purchased the vehicle. It should be noted that the car went into limp mode (max 25 mph) for the final six miles to my home. I researched the issue on line and determined that it was possible to get the car to the dealer based upon the experience of other Hyundai owners. …”
NHTSA complaint #11755299, filed 2026-08“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.”
