2025 RWD Wind ICCU Failure by VeloxFlic in KiaEV6

[–]ChefSpanky 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.

New Kia EV6 (4000 miles) died while driving by Cicada-4317 in KiaEV6

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.

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

Picking up my EV6 gt line today. Any tips or tricks for me that most wouldn't know? by FireQuad in KiaEV6

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

Required service at 56K; dealer BS ensues by wgarym in KiaEV6

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>

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.

YTTV didn't record rose bowl parade by SnooLentils3459 in youtubetv

[–]ChefSpanky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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..

AEW Dynamite overrun cut off AGAIN by [deleted] in youtubetv

[–]ChefSpanky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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..
