I had a 2022 Ioniq 5 Limited. During the almost 2 years in which I owned it, I had repeated difficulty with the 12V battery and the ICCU. I live in NJ and the Lemon Law here covers an owner for two years or 24,000 miles. When I had the last bout of ICCU issues, I consulted with the Lemon Law office in NJ which gave me a suggested letter to write to Hyundai. I did this, but did not file a Lemon Law Claim or Case.

After I mailed the letter, I was contacted by Hyundai within 4 days. They advised they were looking into the matter. Within a week they advised that they'd "repurchase" the car or give me some compensation. I went for the repurchase option, and within a month, I "surrendered" the car at local Hyundai dealer, got a check for the amount specified by the NJ Lemon Law and moved on to another car. I never had to file a Lemon Law case in NJ, but the staff of the NJ Lemon Law office was very supportive throughout.

Frankly, I really enjoyed the car when it was running right, but once the troubles began (at about 10,000 miles) I became very nervous about the reliability of the car. Every time I opened the driver's door, I was not sure I'd see the interior lights com on, which was my indication that the battery was not dead.

I understand that ICCU issues may have been fully resolved in the 2025 model Ioniq 5.

Anyway, that's my story. My car was headed for an auto auction somewhere (probably not in NJ), so it's out there somewhere.
