2022 KIA EV6 ICCU failure. Car stopped Level 1 and Level 2 charging. Dealer confirmed failure and replaced under warranty. This was the best of the failure modes, we were not stranded and the 12v battery continued to the charged. Thanks.

On Sunday, October 4, 2026, the vehicle lost drive power while I was operating it. At the same time, steering became extremely difficult and the brakes required extraordinary physical force to apply. I had to use all of my strength to safely bring the vehicle to a stop. At that point we were stranded in the #2 lane of travel. This was not a minor inconvenience or an isolated warning light; it was a serious roadway safety event. Had my wife been driving, I do not believe she would have had the physical ability to safely control and stop the vehicle under those conditions.

Component that failed: Vehicle headlight/running light has water penetration and the running lights do not stay on. Additionally there is yellowing of the LED running lights, which is a known defect in the Kia EV6. Safety issue: Running lights reduced night time illumination and made it more difficult to see road. Running lights yellowing are a sign of premature failure. Dealer inspection: Dealer identified problem during a state inspection (light turned off after a few seconds). Vehicle headlights have three issues: 1. Yellowing of LED running lights, 2. Failure of seals allowing water into the headlight unit, 3. Malfunction of the running lights (turns on briefly and then goes out) Manufacturer included replaceable desiccant packets in the headlight, which indicates they understood the potential for water penetration/condensation.

The ICCU, or integrated charge control unit, continually fails on this car. When it fails, the 12V battery rapidly drains and the car goes into turtle mode (25mph max) until the 12 battery drains completely. This has happened 4 times on this car, twice since I purchased it 'certified pre-owned" from a Kia dealership in February 2026. Luckily for me the two times it has failed on me, I was in town and close to home. I purchased this car to use for road trips, and out in remote areas of wilderness that do not have cell reception. It is my opinion that the lack of a permanent fix from Kia is a safety issue, as this problem can strand a driver like myself in the middle of nowhere without cell service or any way to get back. Kia has increased warranty coverage on this component, but has not rolled out a permanent fix. My car has been sitting at a dealership service department for 4 weeks now, waiting for Kia to approve the warranty work. This is a known issue, Kia has increased warranty coverage on this part, but they are refusing to allow the dealership to perform the work to fix it.

I began to drive. The dashboard display read "Check low voltage supply" or something like that and on the opposite side of the display there was a small image that looks like a 12V battery. A moment later the dashboard display changed to read "DO NOT DRIVE." The car was towed to a dealer who reported a "failed ICCU and High Voltage Fuse." The vehicle was towed to a dealership where it is being repaired under warranty. The same parts were replaced on December 26, 2024, that time because the electric vehicle would no longer accept a charge from a 240VAC source, although it continued accept a charge from a high voltage DC source. At that time there was also a software update that was said to correct the defect.

The taillight came loose and every time i take it in to get checked or fixed at the dealer they ignore me, so i went in and tightened my self. there were 4 nuts already off and inside my trunk and there was no loctite on the bolts holding the light on. now the lamp is leaking water into the trunk and the tail light has water inside of it.

Vehicle Safety Complaint My Kia experienced an ICCU (Integrated Charging Control Unit) failure and was at the dealership for approximately two months while awaiting repairs. The ICCU and related components were replaced, and I was told the vehicle had been repaired. However, immediately after I received the vehicle back, the “Check Electric Vehicle System” warning illuminated again. Since that time, the vehicle has continued to experience serious electrical issues. The vehicle has unexpectedly shut off while stopped at red lights and has failed to restart on multiple occasions, leaving me stranded. This creates a significant safety hazard because the vehicle can lose the ability to move while in traffic, placing me and other motorists at risk. I have returned the vehicle to the dealership twice since the ICCU replacement, but the problem has not been resolved. The dealership has been unable to identify or permanently repair the defect. I have been without my vehicle for nearly three months this calendar year due to this issue. More importantly, I no longer feel safe driving the vehicle because I cannot trust that it will remain operational in traffic. I am submitting this complaint because I believe this represents a serious safety defect involving the vehicle’s electrical system and propulsion system. I request that NHTSA investigate this issue to determine whether other Kia owners are experiencing similar failures and whether additional action is warranted to protect consum

The front lower air dam and felt underguard detached while driving at highway speed on an interstate. The panel dropped and dragged on the pavement. I secured it with duct tape and zip ties at the roadside in order to drive home. There was no collision and no impact with road debris. The bumper fascia directly above the panel is undamaged, with no deformation and no paint transfer, which is not consistent with an impact and is consistent with failure of the panel's mounting fasteners. The panel shows longitudinal drag scoring on the underside and outward flex-fracture of the mounting clips. The right side detached first and the left side remained held by a single screw. The component is available for inspection on request. There were no warning lamps or messages before the failure. I brought the vehicle to a Kia dealer in [XXX] on XXX, at approximately 40,000 miles and within the 5-year/60,000-mile basic warranty. The dealer's technician identified multiple fractured mounting clips, of which only two remain intact. The dealer declined to submit a warranty claim, citing evidence of impact, and reattached the panel using added screws. The fractured clips were not replaced. The dealer's paperwork records the vehicle as repaired, but the technician verbally advised me to drive carefully because the underlying fastener failure was not corrected and the panel is not held by its designed fasteners. I opened a case with the manufacturer's consumer assistance center on June 9, 2026 (c

1. Severe Safety Concerns (Battery Thermal Risk & Component Interdependency) The PTC (Positive Temperature Coefficient) heater in my vehicle has failed. This component failure has completely disabled my vehicle’s air conditioning (AC) system. In the Kia EV6 architecture, the AC compressor loop is not merely a cabin comfort feature; it is intrinsically linked to the vehicle's thermal management system responsible for cooling the high-voltage traction battery pack. California temperatures are projected to hit 110°F immediately. Without a functioning AC system, the vehicle cannot execute critical battery cooling procedures. Yesterday, when plugging the vehicle into a charger, the high-voltage battery became alarmingly hot. Forcing a lithium-ion battery pack to accept high-current DC fast charging without operational coolant loop heat rejection poses an immediate, catastrophic risk of thermal runaway and vehicle fire. I am terrified to operate, park, or charge this vehicle in upcoming extreme summer conditions. 2. Predatory Maintenance Plan Tie-In Offer Yesterday, the dealership called and acknowledged the issue. They offered to cover 70% of the diagnostic and repair labor costs under corporate goodwill, as I am technically out of the standard warranty period. However, they applied an unfair and coercive condition: I am only eligible for this safety assistance if I purchase a mandatory 2-year maintenance contract costing $120 per month (totaling $2,880 over 24 months). Because th

ICCU failure caused charger circuit breaker to trip due to sudden fault current situation

The contact owns a 2022 Kia EV6. The contact stated that while driving approximately 6-7 MPH in the left-turn lane, the vehicle made an abnormal popping sound and stalled. The vehicle was pushed to the side of the road with assistance. The vehicle failed to restart and was towed to the dealer, where it was diagnosed with Integrated Charging Control Unit (ICCU) failure. The ICCU was replaced, and the vehicle was repaired; however, the failure recurred several times. Additionally, the contact stated that while driving at slow speeds, the messages "Check ABS", "Check ESC", "Check Electronic Parking Brake" and "Pull Over Safely" were displayed, and alarms sounded on several occasions. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was contacted several times, and a case was filed. The failure mileage was approximately 12,000.

On the night of [XXX], the vehicle was plugged in to AC charge at my home charging at 7.5kw (32 amps/240 volts). The next morning, the dedicated breaker to the EVSE was tripped, and the EVSE was damaged and unusable upon resetting the breaker. The car had charged approximately 20% before cutting off. A new EVSE was ordered and arrived by that night, however the car would not accept a charge, and displayed a "charging failure" message, despite the new EVSE working on two other electric vehicles. Additionally, the vehicle to load (V2L) functionality was compromised, and the vehicle displayed an error message when attempting to use the V2L. The vehicle was taken into Kia service center located in Mission, KS on 6/29, and diagnosed with a broken ICCU, which is scheduled for service on 7/1/2026.

ICCU electrical system failed while driving (~1mi from house). Warning messages popped up and caused me to pull over and drive back to house under reduced speed. Kia told me car was not safe to drive and to tow car for repair under warranty. ICCU failure was confirmed by service provider and repaired after 2 weeks (diagnosis, part order, and replacement).

Vehicle ICCU unit failed resulting in inability to charge at level 1/2 on AC power and would have ultimately led to failure of the 12v battery, which results in the car shutting down. Posing a safety risk. Resulting repair led to coolant level issue. Currently the only solution to the problem is replacement of the unit, with the exact same unit model. Leaving the possibility of it happening again. The manufacturer has not developed a long term solution to the problem, which is common and affects a large percentage of the vehicles. Previous software update recall did not correct the issue.

My car was in my garage and charging with my home's level-2 charger on June 1 2026 in standard fashion. At 2am the charging was interrupted by the car (per charger log) and stopped at 68% charge (set to fully charge to 100%). Subsequently the car could not charge any more, and I tested this with two independent level-2 charging units. Both of these chargers are confirmed operational with another electric car in my garage. I took the car to Kia Service on June 4 and they confirmed it was a failed ICCU.

On [XXX] while traveling to NJ, the vehicle displayed "check electrical system" and would not accept a charge. With only 40 miles of range remaining, I drove the vehicle to Jack Daniels KIA. It is STILL at the dealership, and neither the dealer nor KIA Corp has provided a date that the car will be repaired. The dealer told me that it is covered under the 100kmi powertrain warranty, but that KIA corp must direct how and what to fix. They continue to supposedly try different things to fix the car, but either are not applying resources or are ignorant in how to fix the vehicle. KIA will also not compensate me $1308.99 to cover my current losses (car note, uber to get home when it died, and fuel costs) to date. The car has been out of my possession now for 44 consecutive days straight without any end in sight, compensation, or expected repair date.

Integrated Charging Control Unit (ICCU )failure on the high voltage battery leading to also the 12v battery failure.

Lost power while driving. 12Vbattery low voltage on dash. ICCU not responding. Dealership replaced ICCU and told me it wasn't under warranty. Had to pay out of pocket.

Vehicle would not start/drive. Vehicle was parked in garage at time of failure. Kia dealership said the ICCU needed to be replaced along with the 12V battery. Prior to the failure, audio was not working in the car for several weeks. Kia stated that was due to the ICCU issues and that the 12V was most likely also failing due to the ICCU. ICCU was covered by KIA, but owner of the vehicle had to pay for the replacement of the 12V battery. Vehicle was inspected by manufacturer at the local Kia dealership.

Car lost power and stopped Diagnosed iccu failure Now reporting coolant issue following repair

The Integrated Charging Control Unit (ICCU) failed twice within four weeks. The first failure occurred in March 2026 and was repaired under recall SC327 with a replacement ICCU and fuse. The second failure occurred April 7, 2026, approximately 12 days after pickup. Symptoms: Vehicle failed to charge overnight on Level 1 and Level 2 circuits despite being plugged in. Later that day, while driving, a “Check Electrical System” warning appeared on the dashboard followed by sudden loss of power and acceleration. Vehicle fluctuated between 25-45 mph and could not maintain speed. Vehicle was driven approximately 2.2 miles to the dealership under its own power after warning onset. Safety risk: Sudden loss of power and acceleration while driving created a hazardous condition for myself. Dealer confirmation: The authorized Kia dealer confirmed a DTC for battery overheating and acknowledged the ICCU coolant was not fully topped off after the first replacement, suggesting the recall remedy was incompletely performed. The vehicle has remained at the dealer unrepaired since April 10, 2026. Component available for inspection: Yes, vehicle is currently at the dealership. Recall remedy concern: The SC327 recall remedy did not resolve the ICCU failure. A second failure occurred within two weeks of the repair. The dealer’s subsequent diagnosis of owner-caused undercarriage battery damage is contradicted by their own signed inspection report documenting all undercarriage items as passed with no

ICCU failed after 49,059 miles. Levels 1&2 charging do not work. I must use DCFC to charge the car.

This make/model has a known ICCU issue. Ours went out just after warranty expired and the cost is $4,000. The EU and some Asian countries have extended the warranty of this fault due to how prevalent it is.

ICCU failure at 16k miles. The ICCU was replaced at the dealership on January, 29th of this year, so it is not available for inspection. The failure tripped a breaker at my home while it was charging possibly indicating a short circuit. The short circuit could have potentioally overheated and caught fire in my home. I took the vehicle to the dealership and they confirmed it was the ICCU and replaced it under warranty. I have a copy of the invoice received after the replacement was installed. I do not know what they did with the old ICCU after it was placed. There was no indication of pending failure that I noticed prior to this incident occuring.

Electrical propulsion failure resulting in 3 tow-ins. Vehicle goes into limp mode, slows to 20 mph on highway and then stops after about 2 miles. The issue appears related to the ICCU, fuse and 12V battery failures. History includes 6 attached ICCU related Repairs. #1 ICCU updated under recall SC271 at 31,678 miles. #2 Then the ICCU was replaced under recall SC302 at 45,059 miles. #3 Then the ICCU was replaced along with fuse and 12V battery after on road failure and tow in at 52,296 miles. #4 Then the ICCU was updated under recall SC327. #5 Then the ICCU, fuse and 12V battery was replaced at 69,849 miles under recall SC327 after another on road failure and tow in. #6 Then there was a ICCU overheat and charging fault related to a bad ICCU coolant reservoir cap after a charging failure and tow in at 70,957 miles.

The contact owns a 2022 Kia EV6. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 24V867000 (Electrical System) and the vehicle was repaired at the local dealer. The contact stated that four months later while driving 75 MPH, there was a popping sound coming from the rear of the vehicle. The message to "Check Electrical System" was displayed, and the vehicle unexpectedly decelerated to approximately 45 MPH. The contact continued driving and the message to "Stop Vehicle and Check Power Supply" was displayed. The vehicle decelerated to 5 MPH and failed to accelerate as intended. The vehicle was pulled over to the side of the road and inspected. All the doors were unlocked, and the vehicle then stalled. The vehicle failed to restart. The vehicle was towed to a dealer where it was diagnosed and determined that the Integrated Charging Control Unit (ICCU) assembly and fuse needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 148,309.

Iccu failure and defective drivers seat. Was covered under warranty but took over a year to finish all defective parts. Still not 100%

The contact owns a 2022 Kia EV6. The contact stated that while driving approximately 64 MPH, the left side of the steering wheel seized, and the vehicle aggressively jerked to the left into oncoming traffic. The message “Smart Cruise Disabled” was displayed. The contact was able to quickly regain control of the vehicle. The dealer was contacted. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure, and a case was opened. The approximate failure mileage was 65,300.

The car has 41,000 miles and has experienced the second failure of the ICCU, so it will have a third unit in 3 years. The noteworthy issue is the risk associated with these failures. The unit failed on the freeway, and power was reduced to 20% (estimate), which put me and others in danger. This is apparently a known and significant issue with KIA. As a consumer, I am extremely concerned it will experience a 3rd failure, which could include immediate risk to self and passengers. How is this acceptable? Thanks for providing the forum to discuss.

The ICCU failed and had to be replaced. This is a known issue.

The ICCU failed which was part of the recall. Kia is unwilling to honor repairs beyond the 100,000 mile warranty which is unacceptable because there is still no resolution and it is subject to potential future failure. I need an extended warranty.

My car was / is one of thousands of Kia cars based on the eGMP platform to experience an ICCU failure. This is believed to be a design issue. While the repair was covered, reports indicate that the problem is not solved and will re-occur in time.

I am reporting a recurring safety and reliability issue with my 2022 Kia EV6 GT-Line (VIN: [XXX] ). The vehicle currently has approximately 63,100 miles. The vehicle repeatedly displays a “Check Electric Vehicle System” warning message. This problem has occurred three separate times. On at least two occasions, the vehicle became undriveable and required towing. The failure appears to affect the vehicle’s electric powertrain or control systems. The vehicle is currently being taken again to the dealership (Lou Sobh Kia in Cumming, Georgia) for diagnosis of the same issue. This will be the third service visit for this recurring failure. Because this issue can cause the vehicle to become unexpectedly inoperable, I am concerned about the safety implications and believe it may indicate a broader defect affecting Kia EV6 vehicles.

The vehicle lost the ability to charge on Level 2 and Level 1 charging. I took it to the Kia dealer and they told me it was the ICCU, took then a week to repair.

Perhaps 1 year into owning this car the apple carplay connection started going in and out-- it takes perhaps 10 to 15 seconds for it to start working again. I've tried different phones and cords. This issue is getting worse, sometimes 6 times in a 20 minute drive. Now it goes out very frequently (though it is rare in the mornings for some reason). I have brought the car into a dealership and they cannot find any issue with the car. At the recommendation of the dealership I switched the cord to an official apple cord, but when I did this the connection would be lost and I'd have to reach down, disconnect the cord, and reconnect it to get the screen to come back on-- I have since switched back to an Anker cord. There have been many drivers with the same EV6 reporting this issue in Kia FB groups. Now that the car is about 4 years old, it happens very frequently (one time 6 times in a 10 minute span). The safety issue comes in as one, some people may be reaching to disconnect and reconnect their cord while driving, which can be a distraction and may lead to increase in accidents, two, if someone is on a call they may disconnect the cord and switch to speaker, which again is a distraction, and three, I have also been using the navigation system through the carplay, and when the map goes out my turn is going up it can cause me to hesitate on whether to turn or not (and perhaps if the screen comes on at the last minute, make a quick turn, which can increase risk of collision).

ICCU issue. Car showed zero percent battery after charging all night. No warning lights no errors

A warning came up on the dashboard to “Check electric vehicle system”. 12v battery light also on. Vehicle went into limp mode and drove at 45 mph max for a period of time, then dropped to 27 mph max. Inspections at Ziegler Kia in Holland, MI, found the ICCU was faulty and needs to be replaced. This vehicle has already had the ICCU recall applied, yet ICCU has failed again.

Sunroof glass spontaneously exploded outwards while driving on the highway with a loud boom

I was unable to charge this electric vehicle which I normally do almost once or twice a week using my home level 2 charger. It also did not speak the message that "your vehicle is being charged" which it normally does when I charge the vehicle. I tried multiple times. Then I got into the vehicle and saw that it was giving me the following error messages (pics included below) upon trying to start it. 1. "Check Electric Vehicle System" 2. "Battery Discharge Warning - Please use the vehicle after starting the vehicle". However the vehicle would not start and then it went went totally dead. Kia was kind enough to tow it under warranty to Century Kia in Tampa, FL as well as now they are trying to identify the issue. Kia was also kind enough to provide me a rental via Century Kia which I appreciate.

The iccu failed on this car rendering the whole vehicle useless. This part is currently a recall and I was using a new ICCU with the software update per their recall solution. My second ICCU failed at approximately 40k miles.

When attempting to level one charge the vehicle at home, the car returned a failure to charge error and would not charge. This was attempted several times using different outlets and the same error occurred. The car was brought to Gettel Kia in Bradenton Florida. The dealership confirmed that the ICCU had failed,. They did not have the part and apparently it is on backorder. The repair is being covered under warranty, however, it is not being considered a recall, despite many other Kia EV6s having ICCU failures. The ICCU failures are extensive and need to be further investigated by NHSTA and a full recall for all Kia EV6s should be ordered.

While driving the vehicle a short distance, I heard a loud pop from the back seat. The car immediately warned of an electrical system failure. The issue and symptoms are consistent with ICCU module failures, reported across the kia/hyundai egmp platform. My safety was put risk, because I was stopped in heavy traffic when this happened and could have been stranded far from home with no ability to drive the vehicle more than a couple of miles at most. The warnings started immediately after the pop I heard.

ICCU unit lost power and the car was unable to drive. Luckily I was parked when it happened but if I had been driving it would have been very dangerous. The part was replaced under warranty but they said it could happen again which really scares me.

Persistent ICCU failure causing charging interruptions, “Check Vehicle Charging System” → “Stop vehicle and check power supply” warnings, low 12V battery voltage (down to 12.1V), and risk of power loss/strand. Kia Connect sent “Charge Interrupted” alert during a session that reached 99%. Multiple prior recalls/attempts failed to resolve (Sep 2023 TSB ELE291 BMS, Jun 2024 SC271 ICCU SW, Jan 2025 SC273 VCU SW, May 2025 SA5999 limp-home logic, Sep 2025 dead 12V stranding). Towed Feb 2026 after stranding; dealer confirmed ICCU failed (DTC P1A9096), replaced ICCU (P/N 36400-1XFA0AQQK latest revision), fuse, and SW update under SC327 (24V-867). Repair completed same day (Feb 24, 2026), but dealer skipped charging system test and filling coolant. Safety impact: Stranded wife twice (dead battery and iccu failure), tow required, potential sudden power loss while driving. Report purpose: Document recurrence despite multiple recalls; seeking NHTSA tracking for effectiveness of SC327 remedy.

My car (Kia EV6) suddenly stopped charging with Level 1 and Level 2 charging. I brought it to the Kia dealership and it was diagnosed ICCU failure. ICCU was swapped and the car is charging again.

ICCU failure. The vehicle would no longer charge via AC and tripped the circuit breaker whenever plugged in. All necessary software updates related to the ICCU issue were completed timely before its failure.

The contact owns a 2022 Kia EV6. While the contact’s daughter was driving approximately 40 MPH, the messages "Electric Failure: Stop Car Do Not Drive” and “12-Volt Battery Voltage Low" were displayed on the instrument panel. The vehicle then failed to exceed 20 MPH, causing the driver to activate the hazard lights while pulling over to a side street while driving approximately 5 MPH. On the side of the road, the vehicle lost power. The vehicle was left at the side of the road to be towed to the nearest dealer. The dealer was contacted and confirmed that it was a known failure with the Interior Command Centre Unit(ICCU), and that the ICCU might need to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 23,000.

Vehicle will not charge properly due to ICCU failure, causing it to not charge the 12v battery which could have caused it to run out of battery at any moment causing the car to stop operating while driving which could have caused an accident, particularly because I do mostly highway driving. The dealership has confirmed the ICCU failure. While it supposedly got the previous recall fixes, that did not prevent it from failing.
