POWER TRAIN,ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,UNKNOWN OR OTHER

37 months

While driving a rented 2023 Kia EV6 on the freeway, the vehicle lost power and shut down completely, without warning, on multiple separate occasions during a single trip. This occurred at highway speed in live traffic, creating a serious risk to vehicle occupants and surrounding traffic. The vehicle was a rental (Dollar Rent A Car); no external damage or collision was involved. The vehicle has since been towed.

Electrical Failure

12-volt battery, electrical system

The vehicle experienced a persistent electrical system defect causing the 12-volt battery to repeatedly discharge. The dealership replaced the 12-volt battery and performed a software update, but the issue remained unresolved. On two separate occasions the owner arrived to retrieve the vehicle only to find the battery completely discharged and the car non-operational. The vehicle remained at the dealership for over 30 consecutive days with multiple failed repair attempts.

Electrical/Powertrain Failure

ICCU (Integrated Charging Control Unit), 12V battery

The ICCU failed despite all prior recall updates having been performed. The failure began when the home circuit breaker tripped and the vehicle refused Level 1 charging, displaying a 'Check Electrical System' warning. When connected to a Level 2 AC charger at a public station, a loud pop occurred and the charging station immediately suffered a mechanical failure and shutdown. The vehicle then displayed 'Stop vehicle and check power supply' and was limited to 40mph with a turtle icon on the dash, creating a safety hazard in traffic. Within two hours the 12V battery was fully depleted, leaving the vehicle unresponsive and requiring a jump-start for towing. The dealer confirmed ICCU failure requiring replacement.

Electrical Failure

ICCU (Integrated Charging Control Unit), low-voltage battery

$0

The ICCU unit failed, triggering a 'Check Electrical System' warning on the instrument cluster. The low-voltage battery dropped to 12.0V and vehicle speed was limited to 60 mph, then gradually reduced to 30 mph over 40 minutes as voltage fell to 11.5V even with minimal 12V loads. The vehicle had to be towed to a service center, where Kia confirmed the ICCU was defective and replaced it under warranty.

Electrical/Powertrain Failure

ICCU, 12V battery, electrical system, fuel/propulsion system

The vehicle experienced complete power loss on multiple occasions. The ICCU (Integrated Charging Control Unit) failed, causing the car to lose power while in traffic and become immobile. The 12V battery subsequently failed to hold a charge on multiple dates. Kia issued a letter acknowledging the ICCU issue and offered free diagnosis and possible no-cost servicing. The vehicle was towed to a dealership and reportedly repaired, but power failures continued. The owner considers the vehicle unsafe due to sudden power loss while driving.
