Consumer Description
Issue has been diagnosed by Kia and our dealership as a failed Integrated Control Charging Unit (ICCU). Parts are backordered indefinitely (we were told there's 106 on order nationally). Same issue as the Hyundai Ioniq 5 (which is built on the same platform): https://news.yahoo.com/highway-safety-agency-reports-power-162735107.html Car dash showed a "Check electric vehicle system" alert, followed shortly after by "Stop vehicle and check power supply" on a short city drive home. Was close enough to make it home without the car turning off, where I confirmed the car could also no longer be charged at home using AC charging. The ICCU manages AC to DC power conversion for home charging and also keeps the 12-volt battery charged. Per Kia's recommendation, had the car towed to the nearest dealership. The worst part is just the wait time for backordered parts that Kia and Hyundai; dealership can't even give us an estimate of when to expect the parts. 107 does not seem like a difficult number of components to come up with on short notice for a carmaker that sells 2.3 million cars annually.
