Consumer Description

I am reporting a recurring safety defect. While driving the vehicle the Integrated Charging Control unit (ICCU) failed and caused the vehicle to lose power and stop in the road. I feel strongly that this ICCU issue and subsequent failure should be made into a safety recall. Kia / Hyundai / Genesis all share the same e-gmp platform and utilize an ICCU that fails and leaves motorists in unsafe situations. The ICCU should be recalled and replaced with a unit that works. The current recall remedies are only software updates, and are insufficient to prevent this safety issue and hardware defect, posing ongoing safety risk to drivers and other motorists. The ICCU should be a permanent fix, rather than just software patches that do not fix the issue. My vehicle had all software patches and was up to date, yet those were not sufficient to prevent this hardware defect and safety situation.
