Consumer Description
The 12V battery on my Kia EV6 has died 5 times (May 9, May 23, Jun 18, July 3, July 5 2023). I bought the car in March 2022 and there were no issues until May 2023. Twice the 12V died when parked at home with the Lithium battery at 80% charge, twice when my wife was out and parked and the last time at the 'Serramonte Kia' dealership in Daly City, CA. It required us to call Kia Roadside assistance to jump start the car. It was reported to Kia all 4 times that it happened to us. They recharged the car and when it finally died at the dealership, they replaced the 12V battery. I suspect that it's going to happen again because there's a fundamental problem with the ICCU which prevents the Lithium battery from charging the 12V. I have read that it's already been reported to NHTSA and that it's been investigate. Kia needs to recall and fix the underlying issue. I am worried that it puts my family at risk if we are stranded in the middle of nowhere.
