2022 KIA EV6 Complaints

There is a component, the ICCU, that is failing in a number of early cars. Who knows about the later ones? The 12v battery drains and the car won’t start. If the use is lucky, a jump start will get it to run enough to get to the dealer. Otherwise, a tow is in order. This can happen while the car is under way as well. Look at the Reddit ev6 forum and the Facebook EV6/EV9 forum. There are many stories about this problem.

I was driving home when I heard a loud pop in the back of the car then warning symbols pop saying the there is a issue with electrical system. Then it told me to pull of the road due to low power. I've been reading around heard about the iccu not charging the 12v battery while driving and lost all function when it dies.

The contact owns a 2022 Kia EV6. The contact stated that while driving approximately 30 MPH, the message "Speed Limit System Failure" was displayed, and the instrument cluster screen start to flash on and off before going blank. The vehicle started to lose motive power and then stalled. The vehicle was restarted but after driving approximately one mile the failure reoccurred and the vehicle stalled. The vehicle was towed to the local service center the vehicle was diagnosed and determined that the 12-Volt battery was faulty and needed to be replaced. The 12-Volt battery was replaced, and the vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer and local dealer were notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 72,000.

sometimes vehicle is not charging at 6.6Kw charging. it says unable to connect/not charging. I tried multiple times and multiple locations. Also, I informed the dealer (Kia Fremont) and they are keeping my vehicle from last 2 weeks and there is no communication about the status. [XXX] vin no.

Car 12v battery keep on dying after car is only one years old. Kia can not figure out why. I have to carry an emergency battery jumper with me at all times. This is an electric vehicle and when 12v battery dies. Vehicle loose all power.

When car is on HDA mode. Drive assist. And speed under 20 miles on Highway. Car make sudden stops and it is also called ghost stop. Very dangerous and will likely to cause rear end collision.

I continually have issues with the car not charging. I have taken it to the dealership and they "update the software" but I continue to have issues where my car only charges 10-15% at a time and continues to give me an alert "charge interrupted" but it does not tell me WHY the charge has been interrupted. I will set it to charge overnight but then wake up ready to go to work and my car only has 20% charge and I can't make my commute. I've had the same problem at public chargers. However, my partner has an electric Ford Mustang and his car has had no problems charging at home. I would say for the first 9 months of ownership this was not a problem with my EV6 it only began in the last 3-4 months but it happens almost every time I plug in.

Just like the Hyundai Ionic 5 issue with power loss, my Kia EV6 which has the exact same underlying system (e-gmp); I heard a loud pop followed by my vehicle immediately informing me to stop driving and pull over. It has since been in hobble or "turtle" mode and will not let me drive it for more than 1 minute before insisting I pull over. It has since been towed to the local Kia dealership.

On SEPT.8, 2023 The car was charging and then it stopped charging. There was no warning or indications. All power failed and the EV is now inoperable.

2022 EV6 Wind. For the first 10 months i had absolutely no issues charging the car at home. The car went in to the dealer in mid august for a number of service bulletins. Since those changes, the car no longer accepts level 2 charging at the 48amp speed that it is advertised at and documented to provide. The dealership is not capable of replicating it, because they only have a 32 amp charger, which is significantly less powerful. It is my understanding that this is a heat issue which makes me nervous about a fire. I can turn the charger down very low, but that defeats the purpose of why I bought this car as faster speed charging was one of its selling points.
