In owners’ own words

Kia has a known ICCU issue with several of their electric vehicles. Mine went out yesterday creating an extremely dangerous situation on the road. After it blew, I lost the ability to accelerate or steer. This was obviously very scary for me and the drivers around me. I feel very lucky to have not been hit by another car.
ICCU failed. Heard a popping sound from rear of passenger compartment, dash errors lit up, car went to limp mode
Multiple times the 12V battery has died without warning. Once in driveway while engine was charged to 93%, once while parked at work parking lot at charging station. Both times the car had to be jumped by AAA and driven to the dealership where it sat for 7 days each time with NO diagnosis, no loaner, no rental, and no transport.
I was driving and got an error that there was a problem with the electrical system. It then gave me a n error of "Stop vehicle and check power supply". It's an electrical vehicle and I am not able to charge it now
I see there is a lot of battery issues with KIA EV6 out lately; my car randomly died near my house and nothing was working, doors wouldn't open/close, hazard light wouldn't come on.. had the car towed to the dealership same day. they claim that they fixed my car properly and fixed the recall issue with the battery..
