The ICCU and related components were replaced, and I was told the vehicle had been repaired.  However, immediately after I received the vehicle back, the \u201cCheck Electric Vehicle System\u201d warning illuminated again. Since that time, the vehicle has continued to experience serious electrical issues.  The vehicle has unexpectedly shut off while stopped at red lights and has failed to restart on multiple occasions, leaving me stranded. This creates a significant safety hazard because the vehicle can lose the ability to move while in traffic, placing me and other motorists at risk.  I have returned the vehicle to the dealership twice since the ICCU replacement, but the problem has not been resolved. The dealership has been unable to identify or permanently repair the defect.  I have been without my vehicle for nearly three months this calendar year due to this issue. More importantly, I no longer feel safe driving the vehicle because I cannot trust that it will remain operational in traffic.  I am submitting this complaint because I believe this represents a serious safety defect involving the vehicle\u2019s electrical system and propulsion system. I request that NHTSA investigate this issue to determine whether other Kia owners are experiencing similar failures and whether additional action is warranted to protect consumers.","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2022","productMake":"KIA","productModel":"EV6","manufacturer":"Kia America, Inc."}]},{"odiNumber":11753114,"manufacturer":"Kia America, Inc.","crash":false,"fire":false,"numberOfInjuries":0,"numberOfDeaths":0,"dateOfIncident":"06/07/2026","dateComplaintFiled":"07/27/2026","vin":"KNDC4DLC5N5","components":"STRUCTURE","summary":"The front lower air dam and felt underguard detached while driving at highway speed on an interstate. The panel dropped and dragged on the pavement. I secured it with duct tape and zip ties at the roadside in order to drive home. There was no collision and no impact with road debris. The bumper fascia directly above the panel is undamaged, with no deformation and no paint transfer, which is not consistent with an impact and is consistent with failure of the panel's mounting fasteners. The panel shows longitudinal drag scoring on the underside and outward flex-fracture of the mounting clips. The right side detached first and the left side remained held by a single screw. The component is available for inspection on request. There were no warning lamps or messages before the failure. I brought the vehicle to a Kia dealer in [XXX] on XXX, at approximately 40,000 miles and within the 5-year/60,000-mile basic warranty. The dealer's technician identified multiple fractured mounting clips, of which only two remain intact. The dealer declined to submit a warranty claim, citing evidence of impact, and reattached the panel using added screws. The fractured clips were not replaced. The dealer's paperwork records the vehicle as repaired, but the technician verbally advised me to drive carefully because the underlying fastener failure was not corrected and the panel is not held by its designed fasteners. I opened a case with the manufacturer's consumer assistance center on June 9, 2026 (case number XXX) and submitted photographs as requested. I have received no substantive response in six weeks. A body panel that detaches at highway speed and drags on the roadway is a hazard to the vehicle behind it and to my control of the vehicle.

Severe Safety Concerns (Battery Thermal Risk & Component Interdependency) The PTC (Positive Temperature Coefficient) heater in my vehicle has failed. This component failure has completely disabled my vehicle\u2019s air conditioning (AC) system. In the Kia EV6 architecture, the AC compressor loop is not merely a cabin comfort feature; it is intrinsically linked to the vehicle's thermal management system responsible for cooling the high-voltage traction battery pack. California temperatures are projected to hit 110\u00b0F immediately. Without a functioning AC system, the vehicle cannot execute critical battery cooling procedures. Yesterday, when plugging the vehicle into a charger, the high-voltage battery became alarmingly hot. Forcing a lithium-ion battery pack to accept high-current DC fast charging without operational coolant loop heat rejection poses an immediate, catastrophic risk of thermal runaway and vehicle fire. I am terrified to operate, park, or charge this vehicle in upcoming extreme summer conditions. 2. Predatory Maintenance Plan Tie-In Offer Yesterday, the dealership called and acknowledged the issue. They offered to cover 70% of the diagnostic and repair labor costs under corporate goodwill, as I am technically out of the standard warranty period. However, they applied an unfair and coercive condition: I am only eligible for this safety assistance if I purchase a mandatory 2-year maintenance contract costing $120 per month (totaling $2,880 over 24 months). Because the EV6 is a fully electric vehicle, its routine maintenance profile is virtually nonexistent. The dealership explicitly stated that this contract would exclusively cover tire rotations. Charging nearly $3,000 for tire rotations as a gatekeeping mechanism to fix a dangerous battery cooling defect is highly exploitative. The cost of this forced maintenance plan essentially equals or exceeds paying for the entire repair out-of-pocket, rendering the \"70% goodwill coverage\" an empty gesture.","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2022","productMake":"KIA","productModel":"EV6","manufacturer":"Kia America, Inc."}]},{"odiNumber":11747389,"manufacturer":"Kia America, Inc.","crash":false,"fire":false,"numberOfInjuries":0,"numberOfDeaths":0,"dateOfIncident":"05/21/2026","dateComplaintFiled":"06/30/2026","vin":"KNDC3DLC9N5","components":"ELECTRICAL SYSTEM","summary":"ICCU failure caused charger circuit breaker to trip due to sudden fault current situation","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2022","productMake":"KIA","productModel":"EV6","manufacturer":"Kia America, Inc."},{"type":"Equipment","productYear":"9999","productMake":"UNKNOWN","productModel":"UNKNOWN","manufacturer":"UNKNOWN MANUFACTURER"}]},{"odiNumber":11747419,"manufacturer":"Kia America, Inc.","crash":false,"fire":false,"numberOfInjuries":0,"numberOfDeaths":0,"dateOfIncident":"12/31/2022","dateComplaintFiled":"06/30/2026","vin":"KNDC3DLC5N5","components":"ELECTRICAL SYSTEM","summary":"The contact owns a 2022 Kia EV6.

I've tried different phones and cords. This issue is getting worse, sometimes 6 times in a 20 minute drive. Now it goes out very frequently (though it is rare in the mornings for some reason). I have brought the car into a dealership and they cannot find any issue with the car. At the recommendation of the dealership I switched the cord to an official apple cord, but when I did this the connection would be lost and I'd have to reach down, disconnect the cord, and reconnect it to get the screen to come back on-- I have since switched back to an Anker cord. There have been many drivers with the same EV6 reporting this issue in Kia FB groups. Now that the car is about 4 years old, it happens very frequently (one time 6 times in a 10 minute span). The safety issue comes in as one, some people may be reaching to disconnect and reconnect their cord while driving, which can be a distraction and may lead to increase in accidents, two, if someone is on a call they may disconnect the cord and switch to speaker, which again is a distraction, and three, I have also been using the navigation system through the carplay, and when the map goes out my turn is going up it can cause me to hesitate on whether to turn or not (and perhaps if the screen comes on at the last minute, make a quick turn, which can increase risk of collision).","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2022","productMake":"KIA","productModel":"EV6","manufacturer":"Kia America, Inc."}]},{"odiNumber":11724240,"manufacturer":"Kia America, Inc.","crash":false,"fire":false,"numberOfInjuries":0,"numberOfDeaths":0,"dateOfIncident":"11/12/2025","dateComplaintFiled":"03/13/2026","vin":"KNDC3DLC4N5","components":"ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM","summary":"ICCU issue.

He eventually called another  company who arrived with a large crane-like vehicle that lifted my car off the pole. The top portion of the pole was missing and apparently stuck in my car .

The Safety of Others: While the primary consequence of the FCA failure was the tragic impact with the pedestrian, the malfunction of a safety system designed to prevent or mitigate collisions inherently puts all potential road users at risk. Had the FCA functioned correctly, the collision might have been avoided entirely or the impact speed significantly reduced, potentially altering the outcome for the pedestrian.  Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center?   No not to my knowledge.  Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others?  As mentioned above, the car was impounded by the SDPD and was fully inspected by both the police and State Farm.   Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear?  None.","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2022","productMake":"KIA","productModel":"EV6","manufacturer":"Kia America, Inc."}]},{"odiNumber":11653565,"manufacturer":"Kia America, Inc.","crash":false,"fire":false,"numberOfInjuries":0,"numberOfDeaths":0,"dateOfIncident":"11/25/2024","dateComplaintFiled":"04/08/2025","vin":"KNDC3DLC2N5","components":"ELECTRICAL SYSTEM","summary":"24V200 KIA recall is not being upheld by the manufacturer. they are only performing recall in a small subset of customers - hundreds if not thousands are being fobbed off  (by JUST doing software updates) even when having to be towed in 4 or 5 times.

The safety concerns associated with this are most acute when using Apple CarPlay-based navigation systems, as the native infotainment system stops displaying Apple Car-Play navigation, and begins searching for a USB-A connection with display \"Reading USB.\" This sometimes remedies itself, with return to Apple CarPlay display but often requires physical reconnection of the USB-A cable. This level of manual manipulation of the infotainment system has caused me to lose navigation capabilities mid-trip and frequently takes my attention away from safely navigating the vehicle, especially when in urban traffic. The problem is persistent across multiple phones, multiple cables (including brand new Apple-branded cables), and other USB-A hardware external to the vehicle's infotainment system. The problem is well documented in multiple online owners' forums (see links below), and appears to be experienced in the similarly engineered/equipped Hyundai Ioniq 5. In my experience, Kia dealers have difficulty recreating the issue, as it is intermittent. Even when they are able to recreate the issue, they are unwilling to perform service, as neither Kia nor Hyundai have developed related technical service bulletins documenting or addressing this issue despite its persistence over multiple years since the cars' release. This presents an ongoing and unaddressed safety risk to Kia EV6 and Hyundai Ioniq 5 drivers.

When using this system, the vehicle can decelerate rapidly and to a complete stop, however the brake lights do not illuminate unless the drivers foot is completely removed from the accelerator pedal. Doing this causes rapid deceleration beyond what would be considered normal for a driver approaching a turn or any other scenario where a planned stop will occur. Because the vehicle does not illuminate the brake lights during normal deceleration when using the one-pedal-driving feature of the regenerative braking system this significantly increases the risk of a rear end collision. The vehicle has been found to be operating normally and matches the behavior of other EV6 models. Although I have not yet been involved in a collision, I have been advised by other drivers that my brake lights are not working, and have had multiple 'close-calls' where drivers behind me have been unable to correctly determine that my vehicle is decelerating and have subsequently caused them to brake erratically or harshly putting myself and others at risk.","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2022","productMake":"KIA","productModel":"EV6","manufacturer":"Kia America, Inc."}]},{"odiNumber":11523894,"manufacturer":"Kia America, Inc.","crash":false,"fire":false,"numberOfInjuries":0,"numberOfDeaths":0,"dateOfIncident":"05/25/2023","dateComplaintFiled":"05/25/2023","vin":"KNDC3DLC3N5","components":"SERVICE BRAKES","summary":"The vehicle does not trigger brake lights when it is using Regen braking or the ipadel mode.

The models affected are the '22 Kia EV6 and the '22 Hyundai Ioniq 5. Both were advertised to charge from 10% to 80% of battery capacity in eighteen minutes at DCFC chargers. This is done with a feature called battery preconditioning which heats or cools a battery to optimum temperature for rapid charging at DCFC chargers and is necessary for the fastest charging speed when charging a car in cold conditions. The feature is now available via a software update issued in Europe and recently for Ioniq 5 owners in North America. To date they have not offered the update for Kia EV6 owners in the US. This feature is available as mentioned via a software update for early '22 Ioniq 5 models in the USA and became standard on '22 EV6 and Ioniq 5 vehicles built after July '22. It is now standard on all '23 models of both cars.    Both these vehicles have a feature called Winter Mode that the Owner's Manual states will heat the battery for charging. However, this is not the same as battery preconditioning. Owners were led to believe that Winter Mode would condition a cold battery to facilitate rapid charging because the Manual and Kia's own press releases made this implication. What is known now is that it does not heat enough. The manufacturers developed a software fix but chose to release it first in Europe and more recently to Ioniq 5 owners in the US but have thus far excluded EV6 owners of '22 models purchased earlier in the year. Kia advertises being able to charge the vehicle from 10% to 80% in 18 minutes. The fine print of the claim states that this is under ideal conditions; Winter Mode was supposed to create those conditions. It does not and constitutes false advertisement. Without preconditioning, charging can take over an hour on a cold day, nowhere close to meeting the advertised claim. EV6 owners want Kia to release the battery preconditioning update to all early '22 EV6 cars in the US.","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2022","productMake":"KIA","productModel":"EV6","manufacturer":"Kia America, Inc."}]},{"odiNumber":11505632,"manufacturer":"Kia America, Inc.","crash":false,"fire":false,"numberOfInjuries":0,"numberOfDeaths":0,"dateOfIncident":"02/04/2023","dateComplaintFiled":"02/05/2023","vin":"KNDC3DLCXN5","components":"EXTERIOR LIGHTING","summary":"The headlights on the 2022 Kia EV6 do not provide enough illumination for proper night driving.

I believe that if the vehicle had applied the parking brake on its own at speed on an ice- or snow-covered road, or possibly even on a wet road, the rear tires would have locked up, causing the vehicle to enter an uncontrollable spin.

This is a known defect - I know other owners are affected, the dealer was able to diagnose the issue and mentioned it\u2019s a known problem with the model.   My vehicle was only inspected by the service department of the Kia dealer that sold me the car.   The only warning was a loud popping and static sound from the stereo before the audio nearly stopped entirely.   All other systems in the car still work that don\u2019t rely on audio.  The rear and surround cameras work, and the parking distance system still displays a visual alert but the audio alert cannot be heard","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2022","productMake":"KIA","productModel":"EV6","manufacturer":"Kia America, Inc."}]},{"odiNumber":11480030,"manufacturer":"Kia America, Inc.","crash":true,"fire":false,"numberOfInjuries":0,"numberOfDeaths":0,"dateOfIncident":"05/17/2022","dateComplaintFiled":"08/18/2022","vin":"KNDC34LA4N5","components":"FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE,LANE DEPARTURE","summary":"This vehicle is equipped with Semi Autonomous Driving.

There are some more out there like mine. I feel this is a safety problem that the area of the body where the hinges attach is not stiff or strong enough to open/close the heavy unbalanced tailgate when the car is not completely level causing damage to the area of the body part of the tailgate and tailgate safety switch not allowing the tailgate to close. This is a serious structural defect that Kia America is ignoring. My dealer took it to the body shop they use who tried 7 different adjustments that did not fix mine but said can be fixed by body work. Kia is just ignoring this as I feel if the truth comes out they will be forced to recall the EV6 and they have no solution. I have written a certified letter to the CEO of Kia America and was received by front desk/mailroom and I have not received a response or call. I have been in contact to Kia customer service and honestly they have been of no assistance. I am sending you the important videos of an EV6 that the tailgate is attempting to open/close when car is not on an even surface. This is a serious is, mine is cosmetic as it came that way from the factory but I feel for the same reason, maybe car, tailgate or assemblers were not completely level during tailgate installation or maybe car was moved on assembly line with tailgate open causing the misalignment on mine and some others. I have been in contact with numerous owners on the forums, social media, etc. I have sent information to news outlets that do investigations. These are puctures of the damage caused when car was not level.

When coming to a stop light unbeknownst to me the emergency brakes (Parking brake) automatically comes on.  I was unable to continue in drive until manually unlocking parking brake, but it took me a minute to figure out what was the issue.  During this time I was blocking traffic till I figured the work around.  This undoubtedly a software glitch by kia's programmers.  To ensure that this was not a singular incident, I took the car on a quiet street to replicate this by keeping the hatch slightly ajar while coming to a standard stop like a stop sign as if I had stopped in traffic as well as stopping as if I was in traffic..  I attempted this over a dozen times.  Each time in the 1Pedal mode the emergency brakes came on and wouldn't disengage till manually doing so.  I have not tried to replicate this other regenerative braking modes other than 1Pedal. But when I get back to an area where traffic is not an issue I will see if it is an issue with those modes as well.  I notified the service department of this matter when I Brought in the car in for software update for a safety recall.  The service department did not do anything to see if there was a fix other than take a written statement that I left with them.  This becomes a safety issue for the following reasons.  1. First, there is no mentioned in the Kia EV6 bible on this issue and this will take place, so there is no warning to the driver that this going to happen.  2.  When coming to a stop and car does not move a nervous or inexperience driver may panic or not no what to do to remedy the situation, thinking the car is dead.  And thus leaving a car obstructing the flow of regular as well emergency vehicular.  3. Driver behind the stalled vehicle may plow into the rear end of the stalled vehicle.","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2022","productMake":"KIA","productModel":"EV6","manufacturer":"Kia America, Inc."}]},{"odiNumber":11468567,"manufacturer":"Kia America, Inc.","crash":false,"fire":false,"numberOfInjuries":0,"numberOfDeaths":0,"dateOfIncident":"06/09/2022","dateComplaintFiled":"06/10/2022","vin":"KNDC3DLCXN5","components":"SERVICE BRAKES","summary":"When coming to a stop while ascending a hill, the vehicle will roll backward while the brake pedal is depressed.

I have informed Kia America in Irvine, Ca with a letter to the CEO over 3 weeks ago but no response. I followed up with a certified letter that was received by them but again no response.
