What owners say
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.
ICCU failed while driving on freeway. Heard loud pop which dealership determined to be a blown fuse as a result of the ICCU failing. Car decelerated to 30-40 mph and stayed in this limp mode. Light on dash indicated an electrical system issue. Vehicle was towed to dealership and repair was made under warranty.
I bought my Kia ev6 new in October 2022, I have had problems with the charging system. I had the ICCU replaced on 9/12/2024 60,488. I just had to have it towed to the dealership because the same issue came up on 1/2/2026 92,943. It went into check electric system and pull over, then went into limp mode got it pulled over to the side of the road and it died. Dealership has it now and will give updates. I don't charge at DC only charge at home on a level 2 charger.
Vehicle went into limp mode and was unable to exceed 20 mph on a 45 mph street. Was told by the dealership the the ICCU unit, which was under recall, would need to be replaced. The dealership has had my vehicle for over a month and is becoming increasingly unresponsive.
