The correct VIN for this vehicle is [XXX] \u2014 a 2019 Kia Niro EV EX Premium, 138,457 miles. I am filing on behalf of the vehicle owner, [XXX], who has authorized me to act as his advocate. The owner is a Ukrainian speaker and I am assisting with all documentation and communications.  In addition to TSB ELE234 (drive unit motor rumble, April 2021), this vehicle is also subject to Kia Service Action SA512 (April 2023): Inverter Coolant/Debris Flushing for the \"Refill Inverter Coolant\" cluster warning, affecting 2019\u20132022 Niro EVs produced May 10, 2019 through October 4, 2021. SA512 has also not been confirmed as completed on this VIN.  CARFAX records document multiple authorized Kia dealer visits \u2014 at Roseville Kia and Folsom Lake Kia \u2014 between 2019 and 2022, during the period both ELE234 and SA512 were active and applicable. Neither service action was applied during those visits.  This filing requests that NHTSA investigate both the safety implications of the ELE234 drivetrain defect and the broader pattern of authorized Kia dealers failing to notify owners of and apply active service bulletins during routine service visits on affected VINs.
