2023 Kia EV6 Service and Repair Manual

Was parking car. Pushed on brake and car accelerated

While changing lanes on a freeway, the car passed through a narrow strip of slush from recent snowfall. The car immediately disabled the motors, preventing acceleration and regenerative braking for nearly 50 seconds. There were no warning lights, sounds, or messages displayed on the car's gauge cluster display, either for the initial loss of propulsion or for the restoration of propulsion. This caused a loss of traction when the car eventually passed through a patch of packed snow and ice.

I am submitting this as a supplemental statement to my existing NHTSA safety complaint regarding my electric vehicle, KIA EV6, 2023 model. Since my original filing, the vehicle has now experienced loss of power / loss of propulsion a total of three times. These incidents occur without warning, are unpredictable, and render the vehicle unsafe to operate. The vehicle can suddenly lose motive power, creating a serious risk of collision, particularly in traffic or at speed. The manufacturer and au

While driving, heard a pop and a check electric vehicle system error popped up on the dash. Car was not drivable except for very low speeds shortly after (impacted safety of the drive) until it eventually stopped being able to turn on at all.

Car said there was a 12V low battery danger and said to pull over immediately while driving. After taking it to the dealership, they said my ICCU went out. So they had to replace it. I've read that the ICCU on these cars are notorious for failing and needing replacement.

ICCU FAILURE. Car would not drive

The ICCU that charges the 12V on board battery failed to keep the battery charged and it made my vehicle a paper weight. Had to have it towed to my local Kia dealership to wait 2 weeks for an appt. Hasn’t been repaired yet and I’m sure it won’t be a short wait after they schedule the repair

Hello NHTSA, I hope this message finds you well. I would like to provide specific details regarding the issues with my car as per your guidelines: 1. **Failed Component or System:** The charging system has malfunctioned, leading to extreme range decrease, constant charging failures, inconsistent charging speeds, and signs of overheating. The charging system warning light is on. 2. **Availability for Inspection:** The malfunctioned charging system and associated components are available for ins

The vehicle experienced a total power failure resulting in complete inoperability (no start, no unlock, no electrical response). This is the second occurrence within approximately five weeks. The most recent incident occurred after the vehicle was fully charged and driven the day prior. There were no warning lights or messages before the failure. The vehicle was previously inspected by an authorized dealer and a manufacturer service campaign related to the charging/low-voltage system was perform

The "trial period" of the Kia Connect ended. It was my understanding convenience features would be turned off. However, safety features such as the voice navigation (navigation still works, but you must type in the destination, which is dangerous), voice to text, and who knows what else, has been turned off. I believe this should be addressed.

First year of ownership rear engine needed to be replaced. The car literally stopped where I was on the road and had to be towed to dealer. It took a month to get the motor replaced. After that, my car stopped while I was leaving my house driving it out of my driveway. There were red warining lights and sounds and then it just suddenly died seconds later. It had to be towed to the dealer. They said it was fixed and that the 12v battery wasnt being charged. Then I was leaving church when m

My 2023 Kia EV6 experienced a sudden ICCU and 12-volt system failure while traveling approximately 50 mph. Without warning, the vehicle instantly lost propulsion and all electrical power. This included loss of steering assist, braking assist, hazard lights, shift capability (unable to shift into Park), and even the ability to lock the doors. The failure effectively “bricked” the vehicle in motion. I was only able to get the vehicle off the roadway because the road happened to slope downward int

El vehículo desde las 500 millas comenzó a encender el aviso de problema en sistema eléctrico , como era intermitente no pudieron arreglarlo , luego el sistema de entretenimiento se apagaba solo , la batería se sobrecalentaba mucho estando apagado y estacionado , por último dejó de recargar la batería , me dejó tirado en medio de la autopista , casi me accidento , lleva dos meses en el concesionario y aún no encuentran el problema

While driving with the power liftgate partially open, I experienced an inability to accelerate after coming to a stop. I pressed the accelerator and the car rolled gently forward into an intersection at a speed less than 2MPH. A warning displayed on the dash that I needed to close the liftgate before the vehicle would operate correctly, which was impossible because I was in the middle of an intersection with a large chair blocking the liftgate from closing. I was able to restore functionality by

The vehicle can't be changed with a message "issue with electrical system". The message blinks very fast for 3sec and disappears. I have to turn on and off the car a few time to be able to read the message. The the car lost 12V secondary battery, it only shows 5.5V when measured. car is dead.. Replaced with new battery, car can start again but the car still can't be charged. Is it related to ICCU problem? KIA doesn't show any recall to this problem.
