NHTSA Complaint #11528221 — 2022 KIA EV6

On June 3, 2023 I found out that my EV6 was no longer charging, and that I could not open my doors or my trunk with my key fob. Nor could I start the engine. It turned out that my 12v battery was drained. As I never left my headlights or doors open overnight, I had no clue why the 12v battery was suddenly inoperable. I called AAA roadside assistance to have my 12v battery jumped. On June 4, 2023 my 12v battery had drained again, and I had to call AAA roadside assistance once more to have my 12v battery jumped. The earliest I could take my car in to the dealership for warranty-covered repairs was June 14. There, I was advised of the issues regarding the integrated charge control unit (ICCU). The dealership could not tell me when the part would arrive so they could replace it. I am currently using a rental car provided by the KIA dealership. Until the ICCU is replaced, I fear my EV6 could stop in traffic and leave me vulnerable to danger.
