In this video, I'll be talking about my recent service experience where my 2022 Hyundai Ioniq5 Limited AWD died in my driveway...multiple times.

The first time, it displayed a warning message saying the 12V battery voltage was too low, and the vehicle would not enter "ready" mode or shift into gear. I turned the vehicle off then back on, then it worked normally. A couple days later, it displayed the same message but power cycling did not help; I had to jump start it. The third time and forth time it happened, the Ioniq5 was completely dead. The power door locks would not work and none of the lights would come on. I had to unlock the driver's door with the physical key. After the third time, I charged the 12V battery fully for 12 hours overnight with a battery charger. That lasted for four days before dying the forth time, which is what is shown in this video.

This was a somewhat common problem for early production Ioniq5s several months ago, and was supposedly traced to Bluelink and other third-party apps polling the vehicle too often, preventing it from going to sleep and causing an excessive drain on the 12V battery. This was supposed to have been fixed with updates to Bluelink and the vehicle. My vehicle has had all of the available software updates.

As of the time this video was posted, my Ioniq5 is still working correctly. I will post a follow-up video if anything else goes wrong.
