2024 KIA EV9 Complaints

Our display/cluster, indicators, sensors, emergency lights stopped working in the middle of the ride. Major safety hazard on highway. Have to turn off the car and wait 30-60 mins for things to start working again. I know this has happened with others and to us before but in that case display stopped working the moment you turn on the car. Can't see the car speed, or any other things on display.

The main display of the vehicle which shows Speed, Range, Blind Spot Cameras, etc - essentally all the critical vehicle information needed to drive - goes blank randomly. While the vehicle is driveable during this time, the driver does not know their speed, range, any other alerts/warnings that would typically be shown on the guage screen (including seatbelt warnings, mechanical failure warnings etc). During this time the climate screen and infotainment screens, which are seperate, function but the main guage screen does NOT. There is no pattern/predictablity as to when the screen will be unavailable. Further, it does not seem to return until the vehicle is parked and locked for an extended period (eg, several hours).

The car has a screen which contains the speedometer, battery charge level, odometer miles, turn signal operation and other information including the parking collision warning and the forward collision warning. The screen went blank and dark

Instrument cluster randomly will be blank. Which prevents the driver from seeing travel speed, battery level, etc.

We turned on the car and the section of the display behind the steering wheel was blank. No speed information, no gear choice information, no blinker notification. Attempted to turn everything off, but a full power down did not resolve the issue. Later that day, the display was working again.

The drivers side seat has a broken part in the right back. The part makes noise when turns make the body shift right. Also, it feels like the seat back is partially disconnected, and some times during drives, it feels like it shifts back into the correct position.

The digital display that shows the driver gauge cluster that includes current speed, as well as other crucial information, is not functioning. It displays nothing other than the current gear selection. None of the audible collision safety features are functioning either.

When turning on the car, the instrument cluster screen would remain black, preventing the driver from seeing the speedometer, vehicle state of charge, warning lights, etc and making the vehicle dangerous to drive.

When operating the vehicle the driver seat will move diagonally from the right rear to the right front and back. This is sometimes accompanied by an audible clicking noise, other times not. We have been informed by our Kia dealer (Kia Englewood in Englewood, NJ) that the noise and movement are cause by a plate in the seat assembly being to thin causing it to flex and move. Dealer stated that other vehicles in the same model line (EV9) are demonstrating the same failure and that the dealer expects a recall to be issued.

Main display does not show speed, blind spot warnings, etc. it’s mostly blank. It shows that my vehicle is in park, reverse, neutral or drive. It’s blank other than that. Unable to monitor speed while driving!
