I've been following this forum for awhile, and thanks to you guys I'm pretty sold on a getting a 5 for myself. Circumstances favored waiting a bit, but I'm still keeping up to date.

I do understand that forum environments like this are going to show more problems than what the user population experiences, because few write to say that everything's going fine. That said, there are a few issues that have come up repeatedly. Now that we're in the '23 model year, how many of those early issues have been fixed?

My probably-not-all-inclusive list of repetitive problems includes:

12V battery charging failures
Cracking front windshields
Wheel shake with 20" wheels
Overheating charge ports
Failing charge port doors
ICCU problems (check battery system)

If I've missed any please let me know. My main point is, are there any '23 model owners who are still experiencing any of these problems? Has Hyundai done their part in fixing what are inevitable teething problems on a new model?

I've had my car for almost a year and have experienced none of the above. I've always thought too that wheel shake was a result of such a heavy car sitting on softer tires and developing flat spots quicker.

I picked mine up mid January 2022, production 11/21. To date, not a single issue. I have a RWD long range model.

I would NOT read that any of these are wide spread issues.

12V battery charging failures - In reality the 12v issue are a very small percentage. There was a poll and the numbers that have not has issue were FAR greater. I think there was a 22 vs 23 thread and yes there were some 23's but again VERY small numbers
Cracking front windshields - I would not read into that this really is an issue. Yes there have been a FEW posts but very very small numbers
Wheel shake with 20" wheels - There are only a few posts. I have a limited and no issues
Overheating charge ports
Failing charge port doors
ICCU problems (check battery system)

Like @Rex and @lxlr8, I have had my Limited AWD for a while, took delivery January 28, 2022 and now have well over 16,000 miles on it. I have had two repairs:

1. Flat tire (broken shop knife blade on road).
2. Cracked windshield. Not the spontaneous cracking reported by others. The windshield died protecting us from a stone thrown up by another vehicle.

If the car is parked for a while there is a bit of vibration until the tires warm up. Pretty normal for many car/tire combinations and not a big deal in my book.

I have not had any of the other issues on the list. Though I have taken some precautions like carrying a jumper battery pack in the frunk.

Those are the biggies, you've clearly been paying attention! Can't really answer your question as I'm not a 23 owner, and I'd advise caution re: anecdotal reports you do ultimately get from any such because (1) many 22 owners never saw these problems although they clearly exist for some, and (2) many of those who did only saw them after many months of ownership. AFAIK there have been no definitive We fixed this! announcements from Hyundai on any of the above.

I had a bad charge port flap and L2 overheating at currents above 32A. Both problems were never more than a minor annoyance for me. I finally had the flap replaced at the dealer when it was convenient to do so, and we are currently waiting on a rumored TSB that might soft-fix the L2 charge problem.

The 12v issue is the real kiss of death here IMO. I've learned way more voodoo incantations than I ever imagined could exist, and have spent a minor fortune on hot fresh chicken blood. At least this affliction does seem to be more uncommon than the others from what I can glean here.

 

[zamafir]

Over a year, 10,000 miles, none of the issues mentioned, best ownership experience I've ever had (coming from an all german VW/Audi/Porsche background). Love love love this car, little wonder it keeps winning so many awards!

And all of these issues combined represent probably less than 1% of all Ioniq 5s sold. Remember people will tend to post about issues, not when everything works great.

 

[NotApplicable]

It may be too early mileage-wise to glean much useful information from MY23 owners.

FWIW I haven’t had any of the issues in my MY23, but I also only have 2800 mi on the clock.

I’ve experienced none of these on my 2023 Ioniq5 Limited. I also expect none of them as well. To be fair, I’ve only had it since October 2022 so about six months now.

 

[Dick Tracy]

I've had the ICCU problem and it seems that the new ICCU has been modified. Not getting the 12v light coming on as often. Dealership said there was some changes done. So far so good.

 

[msandman1943]

I've had a 2023 Limited for almost 3 months, and my only quibble is that there was a bit of vibration in the steering wheel at 65. It tended to diminish at 70. At Michelin's suggestion, I had the tires balanced and the vibration has diminished to the point of being a non-issue, and is apparent on only some road surfaces and not others. From what I read on this forum, the 12-volt battery problem seems to have been fixed, perhaps through a software update, since there seem to be fewer complaints about 2022 models. In 3 months / 2200 miles, I haven't ever noticed the yellow light indication that the 12-volt battery is being recharged.

 

[rbdavis808]

I haven't ever noticed the yellow light indication that the 12-volt battery is being recharged.

I'm hardly an expert on this, but my understanding is that occasionally seeing this light is a good thing as it indicates that the BMS is properly recharging the 12v as needed when the car is off. I suppose that either extreme could be bad: light always off means the 12v is never being recharged (even if needed), light always on might indicate a constant need for recharge due to excessive drain. I notice our light on once every couple of weeks during random and infrequent walk-bys though our garage, and no 12v problems so far (written as I knock on wood).

Here's my take: many of these issues, but especially 12V problems, seem attributable to the launch of a new model during a historic supply chain crisis. This isn't mentioned as much, but the supplier for the 120V charger seems to have changed in North America at least 6 times, which I would say is indicative of this situation. If Hyundai had to scramble for any other parts to the same degree to get anywhere close to their production targets, it's not surprising that there are something like 10 independent reasons why the 12V battery either has a load that's above specifications or isn't topped up as often as it's supposed to while the car is off.

So, I think Hyundai is fixing these issues but that probably involves locking down better contracts for supply of parts from a single manufacturer. Depending on the part, we may or may not be out of the woods yet on the pandemic-era supply chain issues. The lead time for parts seems to be getting better but is still months as far as I've heard for something like the ICCU, which magnifies the significance of issues. It doesn't really matter if it a part fails under if you can replace it in a week.

So, if you want a very, very low chance of issues, I'd wait until Hyundai's supply chain isn't a news item anymore. But I think the risk right now of anything besides USB port connection issues is well under 5%.

 

[kaushdesai]

I have 14000 miles on my Limited AWD. None of the issues from above or any other than USB for carplay. Go get yourself a stellar car.

 

[Neptune]

No issues with my 23 SEL AWD. But I've only had it for a week, 400 miles I traded in my 23 ID4 Pro S AWD for this Ioniq5 and couldn't be happier. I love this car so much, I'm considering upgrading to the Limited now.

Welcome to the forum and congrats on your most excellent taste in cars!

 

[Target]

I only have one issue with my 2023 top spec, and that's the front USB data port problem. It's going to the dealer tomorrow to have the USB port replaced. It "only" took three months, two visits to the dealer and some large-letter speaking to get them to acknowledge that there's a problem.
I'm not impressed with the after sales handling at the dealership

I have a MY 2022 Ultimate I have experienced a faulty charging flap which led to the 12v battery discharging overnight. This was fixed under warranty.
The car is currently at the dealership awaiting a new ICCU, this started 2 weeks ago. I have no idea how long the repair will take!
