Hyundai Ioniq 5

ICCU issue is now a recall issue with Kia EV6s in the states apparently

My father in law's ev6 (a year old) was in with a Kia dealer for approximately 7 weeks from March. I never heard what the issue was but sounds like this was it. The car sent up a warning to say the car had a failure. Car had to be towed in to dealer and he had to drive a loaner for that time.

I've read previous posts about the dreaded ICCU failures with the Ioniq 5.

Well I fell victim to it about a week ago. Car is about 18 months old. It started with the car refusing to accept charge on my wall charger at home. The message on charger read 'delayed charging' . I tried the granny cable and the public charger (ac) with no success. However the car accepted the dc charger.

I took it to main dealer and the outcome is that ICCU will need to be replaced and the waiting time on the part is 2 months

I can drive my car at the moment and fast charge it at public charge point but I am now apprehensive that the car will shut down entirely some day and leave me stranded.

I am looking to change my car in the spring and I can honestly say I was about 90 per cent veering towards another Ioniq. This experience makes me nervous about another Ioniq 5.  

I know issues arise from time to time with new model cars but the fact this is a key component and can't be sourced for two months is disapointing. Also now I have the expense and inconvenience of charging at the dc chargers. Also seems I won't get a replacement car. Appalling service from Hyundai.

It’s such a shame to hear another story of this recurring problem. It really should warrant a recall of all affected models (I am presuming the 231/232 cars don’t have this) so there is only a limited amount of cars that would need the work done

Also amazed at how Hyundai Ireland hasn’t ordered eg 20 of these units (plus fuse) if they are not going down the recall route. 2 months is too long. Anything over 2 weeks is a big no no for me tbh

Hyundai Ireland told me they are only a distribution center they will take no responsibility for this sort of stuff. Also the dealers won't build up stock if they could as the module costs too much.

Apparently even Hyundai Europe has no stock.

Off the top of my head mine was around 240 in Cork, and I thought that was steep.

I'm actually shocked Boland's were €99. They quoted me 189 for the 15k service which is a visual inspection.

Did they change your conductivity fluid? That's meant to be expensive on its own.

Maybe I'm confused on the fluid. Boland's Wexford were the 189. Lyngs in Carlow did the first service for me for free.

Thanks.

we called up another place which is a independent dealership and they quoted 195.

im going to ring them again and confirm what is included.

As long as it satisfies the requirements for a 30k service I can’t see why we would pay 340. Would rather drive a little further.

is there anything I need to check when asking what’s involved? Like is there anything specific that needs to be done to make sure warranty stays intact.

You can get an ICE serviced for that price. Fecking gouging garages trying to maintain their profits. That some places are charging €340 they should be prosecuted for fraud, there is no way a BEV should require much maintenance after 30k

Is there a list anywhere of what's supposed to be done at 30k?

Quick update on my ICCU issue.

Our 1 year old Ioniq5 is now over 4 months off the road, and it won't be sorted for at least 3 more weeks, probably longer.

Hyundai are absolutely shocking, would never buy from them again. They literally could not give a damn.

Yes Jofspring, I guess there is. Its something I am looking into.

You imagine spending €50k on 'World car of the year' from Irelands best selling car brand would not come to that though.

Open to DMs from others with similar experiences, I think there are a few boardsies like me, might be a press story in it. Media love a sorry story about an EV ;)

Was the car financed? What has the lender said? They have clout, and may be an avenue to help solve the problem.

That's putting me right off, I'm in this thread out of a fascination with the car and long overdue updates for my Q4 Etron. I wanted to switch to Ionic 5. No support is no good.

Update on my ICCU issue, have the car since returned with new ICCU. Will be returning to garage next week as we cannot get the scheduled charge to work. When I set a scheduled charge and plug it in it starts to charge immediately on plugging in and will not wait for the scheduled charge to take place. This has been the start of ICCU issues for some people previously, so backs up my opinion that this is a design fault that Hyundai need to address as they appear to be doing in the US.
