2024 Kia EV6 Complaints

The vehicle’s ICCU unit stopped working out of the blue. This happened on a busy intersection and the car came to a sudden and violent halt. Luckily we were not involved in an accident. It’s a very well known issue with these vehicles and it’s really criminal that Kia has done nothing to fix it. They just change the ICCU unit and then it happens again.

I was backing out of my driveway and backed into a vehicle parked directly behind me. The collision avoidance and emergency braking system should have stopped my car before impact but it did not. No sounds other than the normal backing up beeping. Proximity alert did not ping. The vehicle is available for inspection upon request. The safety feature of collision avoidance and emergency breaking did not work. No, the problem has not been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center. No, the vehicle component has not been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representative or other. The police were called to the scene, they just looked at the damage on both vehicles.

Went to charge my vehicle in my garage on 4/15/26. When it was fully charged, I reached to disconnect the charger from the vehicle and the connector was hot to the touch; the charging hub on the vehicle was also hot, the charger had a slight plastic burning smell. I immediately tried to contact the company and learned that they had unbeknownst to me, ceased conducting operations in the US. So I ordered a new charger. I also tried it again on 4/17/26; and the heat was higher faster than it was on 4/15/26; so I hav disconnected the device and installed a new one. The electrician noted that the breaker was damaged and had to be replaced. I also recall, that a few months after the initial install of the charger, there was an incident where my wife saw sparks in the garage from the breaker and we heard a large pop; and then the charger went out. The company sent us a new one then that worked fine for a few years.

Issue was diagnosed as ICCU failure.

Known ICCU issue by manufacturer. While driving get alert on screen the check electrical system. Had to pull over and call tow truck for safety reasons. Charging system is not working properly and 12v battery can die at anytime.
