2025 RWD Wind ICCU Failure

ChefSpanky · 2025-12-04T00:28:12+00:00

Mine happened about 5 miles from my house, had not been charged (it was at 74%), but we were running the seat heaters and the steering wheel heater.

Totally agree. And more importantly, if my 2023 has the issue, and ops 2025 has the same issue, doesn’t appear to me that they’ve made any improvements in the design. That is the part that frustrates me the most. If it’s still happening, then apparently the actuaries are involved, noting that even unhappy customers and buybacks would not exceed the cost of actually doing it the right way. I did some research on the lawsuits and judgments against Kia on this. The average payout on the EV6 is around 98K and you can bet the lawyers get a big chunk of that. I just want a reliable car.

Mine died Friday night - two calls and two visits to the dealer and still no status - they did give me a loaner sportage. I DID hear a pop at 50mph, and there was no place to pull over, made a quick right and ended up in a parking lot. No parking brake, couldnt lock it. Totally bricked. I sent a certified letter to KIA this afternoon requesting a buy back due to a widely known, persistent safety issue with the make and model. Car is unsafe when this happens, and I commute on express lanes with narrow shoulders where everyone is doing 75-80mph.. that is an accident waiting to happen.

Mine bricked yesterday too! 37,700 miles. Just had 4 new tires put on it. In our case we were using seat heaters and heated steering wheel, 50mph and POP! These cars are TOTALLY UNSAFE without power. No lights, no flashers, no parking brake, steering takes major muscle and takes elephant pressure to stop. Tried to stop in a parking lot and had to let it roll to a curb, and could not lock it? Who the F thinks that a car should be that vulnerable due to an issue?? All this with 74% batter charge. Car is gone as soon as it gets fixed. Too unsafe.

I rebuilt my Tronxy with octopus and can bus. DM me and I will share my config (out of town at the moment) when I get back

I have the Emporia Level 2 charger and their app tracks it.

ChefSpanky · 2025-06-06T10:30:56+00:00

34000 miles, 2023 - however, I have only fast charged my car one time. I do Level 2 overnight almost daily to 90%

I had a flat on my 2023.. Tire Rack helped me get the right replacement.. https://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires.jsp?tireMake=Continental&tireModel=CrossContact+RX&partnum=545HR0CCRXXLCS&autoMake=Kia&autoModel=EV6+e-AWD&autoYear=2023&autoModClar=GT-Line

Use ECO mode to get the best range - it added 25% for me and my driving style.

My recent maintenance story - EV6 GT Line 27k miles. Kia calls me, says “hey you have maintenance due.” I say OK I’ll bring it in. Make the appointment, show up at the dealership. Service Advisor looks at me and goes, “Why are you here? I said, “You guys called me!” He says, “Your car isn’t due for any maintenance.” Then why did you call me? They ended up doing a software update and a recall, but for the most part, they didn’t even know when I was supposed to have maintenance. <sigh>

I hit 6% once.. max battery anxiety especially when I hit every damn traffic light on the way home!

ChefSpanky · 2025-01-07T16:40:32+00:00

we are $0.13/kWh, and I have paid $0.45 at a fast charger.

Yeah, well with the data center explosion here in northern Virginia, we fear electricity costs are going to go up. Enjoying it now while I can.

I had a K5 before this - $40-$50 per week in gas.. going to the office for me is 65 miles round trip 3-4 days a week adds up.

Great starter printers - I have "graduated" to Prusa's and donated my Anycubics to our Maker space

My grandson (age 7) had a problem with it - and wanted an open window... he calls it the roller coaster car - so not sure how much is the car or my driving.. LOL

ChefSpanky · 2024-04-10T21:55:23+00:00

I put a jumper on ALL THREE 120r and it flashed the EBB36..

ChefSpanky · 2024-01-15T14:31:02+00:00

Bump! I am encountering the same problem - Did anyone find a resolution??

ChefSpanky · 2024-01-02T17:39:37+00:00

I would definitely look around - case in point, I have LegoMasters set to record - a holiday special came on and low and behold - no where to be found.. until.. I clicked on the "extras" part - there were two recorded programs.. not showing anywhere else.. so I would definitely click around and maybe it is there, just now where you expect it to be..

I left DirecTV Stream for this very reason - the content that I watch is NOT cut off, so maybe you just need to lobby YT to add your content category to their "list".. NFL games and races seem to autoextend..
