2022 Hyundai Ioniq 5
This year drew an ordinary 401 complaints for a Hyundai Ioniq 5 — the model's median is 219. What they were about is the unusual part: 17% of them mention level, against 4.6% across the model's other years.
NHTSA opened a defect investigation into this model year.

What the complaints were about
- level — 17% of this year's complaints, against 4.6% across the model's other years (3.7×). Owners wrote it as: level, charger.
Words owners used for the same problem are counted together, so a fault written four different ways is measured once. Grouped by which complaints they appear in, not by a list anyone wrote in advance.
What owners wrote
The ICCU on my 2022 IONIQ 5 SE AWD failed during (or immediately after) using a public Level 2 ChargePoint charger.
Charging at home with a 240v level 2 charger overheats the car charging port causing a charge failure. This is a potential fire hazard.

How this was worked out
Every year of the Hyundai Ioniq 5 was compared against its own history rather than against other cars, which removes popularity and age from the answer — a common car draws more complaints at equal reliability, and an older one has had longer to accumulate them. A year is flagged when it drew at least 2.5× this model's median and at least 50 complaints.
This is a fault record, not a review. Nobody files a federal complaint to say the car was fine, so it shows what tends to go wrong — not whether owners liked it, and not whether it is a good car.
