2024 KIA EV6 Power Train Problems

The ICCU failed while I was driving my car on a 50 mph road. Check electrical system warning lights appeared. Maximum speed was reduced to 19mph and my car became a road hazard for other cars on the road. I managed to pull off the road once I found a safe spot. After visiting the Kia dealership, the problem was confirmed as a failed ICCU (Integrated Charging and Control Unit) and replaced under warranty. No problems appeared prior to the failure. Vehicle was required to be towed to the repair facility.

2024 EV6 GT-Line with 13,165 miles suddenly showed multiple faults, including "Check electric vehicle system” followed shortly by "Stop vehicle and check power supply". The vehicle almost immediately stopped in the roadway, and my wife (driver) was unable to move the vehicle or even put the vehicle in neutral so the vehicle could be moved. The car is at a Kia dealership for repair who confirmed an ICCU failure. This is an exceptionally dangerous situation.

While operating my 2024 Kia EV6, the vehicle began displaying repeated warnings related to the power system and 12-volt battery. The instrument cluster first showed a “Power limited” message, followed shortly by a “Stop vehicle and check power supply” warning. At the same time, the vehicle indicated that the 12-volt battery was low, despite the high-voltage traction battery being at or near full charge. Shortly thereafter, the 12-volt battery became fully depleted, resulting in a complete loss of low-voltage electrical power. I was unable to electronically unlock the doors, and the vehicle could not be started or shifted into gear. The vehicle became immobilized and inoperable, requiring towing. This failure occurred without warning and created a safety concern, as loss of power could potentially occur while driving or leave occupants stranded and unable to access the vehicle. The vehicle had previously been serviced at a Kia dealership for known power...

Driving with my wife and [XXX] child, there was a pop sound from under the car, and the car suddenly showed multiple faults, including "Check electric vehicle system”, which cleared on their own. I parked and turned the car off and on again and the faults reappeared. I started driving home, and during the drive it showed "Stop vehicle and check power supply" and audibly alarmed. As I was only half a mile from my house on local quiet roads, I made it. A few minutes later, I tried to turn on the car and some displays were off, there was no drive power, the steering wheel did not turn, the door locks were flakey, and I wasn't able to tell if I had shifted into Park or if the parking brake was engaged. When the tow truck arrived, the car was completely unresponsive and there was no way to...

Vehicle ICCU blew up while driving, causing drive train system shut down and limited speed to 10 mph.

About 10 miles from home a warning saying to check the electrical system came on the dash and the car would not go faster than about 25 miles per hour. We had to limp back home, turning the car off every few miles as it would start aggressively beeping to turn off the car. After getting it towed to the dealership, it took them several weeks to determine it was the ICCU and fuse, and I did not take possession of my car back for nearly 8 weeks. While this was under warranty, I am still currently waiting for reimbursement on the tow to the dealer and the rental I had to get for 3 days before the dealer could get me a loaner.

Heard a pop, followed by power failure and warning lights to stop operating the vehicle. The ICCU unit had blown.

ICCU failed. Heard a popping sound from rear of passenger compartment, dash errors lit up, car went to limp mode

[XXX] about [XXX] our 2024 Kia EV6 WIND RWD AUTO VIN: [XXX] already serviced in both NHTSA Campaign #: 24V867000 and Campaign #: 24V200000 had a sudden loss of drive power and nearly all control while driving in rush hour traffic at 65MPH on [XXX] between Atwater and Livingston. The confirmed failed ICCU component can be inspected at Modesto Ca Kia. The sudden loss of drive power and control in rush hour highway traffic put me and numerus other rush hour highway drivers at catastrophic risk of multiple crashes, this could happen to anyone with the same car and especially concerning because our car had ALREADY been serviced in the 2 previous NHTSA recalls (see above) for the very issue (ICCU) that impacted our car nearly resulting in a catastrophic outcome. The confirmed failed ICCU component has only been inspected, and confirmed failed by the KIA EV certified technician at...

Description of Incident: 1. What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? The high-voltage battery system and charging system in my 2024 Kia EV6 malfunctioned. Despite showing 40 miles of range remaining, the battery suddenly dropped to 5 miles before the car became completely unresponsive and failed to charge. Additionally, the vehicle could not be shifted into neutral or powered on. The vehicle is available for inspection upon request. 2. How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? The sudden loss of battery range left me stranded at a Shell Recharge station in Elkridge, MD, at [XXX] on[XXX]. Being stranded at this hour posed a personal safety risk, especially in an unfamiliar area, as I was unable to move the vehicle. Moreover, the malfunction could endanger drivers if such a failure occurred while driving. 3. Has the problem been...

8 days after purchase from dealer, new vehicle, it went into "zombie" mode. Electrical system for radio, climate, lights, etc. all worked but it wouldn't come out of park or neutral. The online app kept saying there were no mechanical problems even though it was "dead in the water" and couldn't be moved. Then the electronic parking brake engaged so it could not be towed. It had less than 400 miles, had been working fine in the prior 7 days. Stopped at Home Depot, when I came out it entered zombie mode, and it couldn't be moved or put into gear. Even though it was in neutral at times the electronic parking brake kept it from moving. I was told today it was a "front inverter" and Kia had to approve repairing it????
