Active powertrain failure on my 2022 Ioniq 5 SE, which poses an immediate and severe safety risk. On May 18, 2026, the vehicle suffered a catastrophic loss of power and a complete failure to charge. At Murdock Hyundai of Lindon, technicians diagnosed it with trouble code P1AA600 and recommended a total high-voltage battery pack replacement at a cost of over $44,000. Immediate Fire & Safety Risk: The dealership technician explicitly warned me that if I continue to attempt to drive or plug in the vehicle, it will cause an electrical fire. Visible Electrical Arcing: The service technician stated that they physically witnessed an electrical arc occur when connecting the vehicle's high-voltage charging components. The technician's diagnosis strongly points to a catastrophic internal short circuit or a failed Power Relay Assembly (PRA) within the high-voltage housing. The company completely stopped working and Hyundai would not help. This has been an ongoing issue with other cars too. I tried multiple times working with both the deal and Hyudnai.

This report is an addendum to report 11762283 that was made yesterday. The vehicle allows driving with the rear liftgate ajar, however under some circumstances it engages the EPB when the vehicle comes to a stop while the gear state is still Drive. The gear state of the car remains in Drive when the EPB engages. This presents the driver with the choice, in the middle of the road and possibly in the middle of an intersection, of either exiting the vehicle and rearranging contents of the vehicle to allow the rear liftgate to close, or activating the accelerator to continue driving with the traction motor overpowering clamped EPB. Neither option is safe. I have attempted to reproduce this unsafe state of the vehicle and was successful in one case and unsuccessful in another. My hypothesis for the differentiating factor is the top speed reached prior to decelerating to a stop: in the first case, 13mph, and in the second, 15mph. I have attached a single frame from one of two videos, of the successful case. The instrument display shows gear state is Drive, the car is moving, high torque is being applied by the traction motors (but typically the screen center shows ADAS state, and there is no indication of instantaneous traction torque), and the EPB is engaged. The car is in the middle of an intersection at the time.

Factory installed Michelin Primacy AS tires with acoustic foam lining. All 4 tires had acoustic foam coming loose and wadding up inside the tire, resulting in extreme vibrations (similar to a severely unbalanced tire) approaching and at highway speeds making vehicle difficult to control. Initially had the tires re-balanced in an attempt to fix before the problem was fully understood, but that solution did not last. Ultimately had the tires dismounted and foam pulled out, then rebalanced.

Is 404 complaints a lot? They were filed between 2022 and 2026, roughly 92 a year, which is more than the typical model in this dataset. We do not have sales figures for this model, so treat this as a rough volume, not a rate per car on the road. Popular, high-volume models naturally collect more complaints over time.

How does it compare with other years? The 2022 has 404 complaints on file, more than the 2023 (386). That is the most of the 5 model years of the Hyundai Ioniq 5 we cover. Older model years have had longer to collect complaints.
