Issue Description: When parking facing downhill, I put the car in reverse but the car rolls forward. Feels like the car is either in drive or neutral. Concern is intermittent, and I confirmed each time it happens, gear selector is in reverse. When trying to re-engage reverse, the display shows "gear already selected." Safety risk: Car almost hit car in front of us while trying to reverse. Car was inspected by dealer service center. Could not duplicate, but found an error code. Dealership found multiple software updates available on the brand new car and installed.
2025 Kia EV6 transmission complaints

Power completely dropped while driving in traffic. This occurred several times. I could have easily been rear ended. Also, I could have been stuck within an intersection, I could have been broadsided. I see researched this issue and found it was widely written about in KIA EV6 online forums. Kia should have checked for issues before I leased the 2025 EV and informed me before I made a decision to lease vehicle. This occured in first weeks I drove the new car.
ICCU failure caused loss of power on interstate. I almost got in a wreck because of this. Kia dealer refused to look at my car. Took vehicle to independent repair shop who diagnosed issue.
