What Ioniq 5 owners report across recent generations

Owner summary

2022–present (1st generation)

NHTSA data is strong, but CarComplaints has only a few reports, so owner data outside NHTSA is thin. More than half of NHTSA owners of the 2022 and 2023 mention the integrated charging control unit, often with a dead 12 volt battery, charging trouble or sudden loss of drive power. CarComplaints lists climate control failure for 2022 and rear motor and coolant pump failure for 2023. Recalls cover that charging unit on 2022–2024 models, parking software on some 2022 models that can let the car roll and battery cells on some 2023–2024 models that may catch fire. [1] [2] [3] [4]

What to check before buying

  • Run the VIN through the NHTSA recall lookup and confirm the charging unit, parking software and battery cell recalls are done.
  • Ask for records of any charging unit or 12 volt battery replacement.
  • Test both home and fast charging if you can, and check that the car holds firmly in Park on a slope.
