Kia EV9 electrical problems, 2024–2026

119 of the 252 complaints owners filed with NHTSA about the Kia EV9 2024–2026 name the electrical system (NHTSA’s “Electrical System” heading — wiring, modules, batteries, charging, infotainment and driver displays — NHTSA's broadest heading). The loudest years: 2024 (104), 2026 (12), 2025 (3). Filed under the same heading across these years: 9 manufacturer bulletins, 4 recall campaigns. Every figure is a linked federal record; none is a failure rate, none a repair cost, and none a verdict on one car.

One row per model year on file, newest first. A year marked in depth has its own page: the complaints, the owners’ words and every document under this heading for that year.

Two things the counts carry that are not the car: how many of each year were sold, and how long each has been on the road — an older year out-counts a newer one before anything is wrong with it. The share column is the honest comparison across years: what part of that year’s complaints named the electrical system. Nothing here is a rate.

In owners’ own words

Filed with NHTSA by the people who own these cars, about the electrical system, from the model years with the most to say. Quoted as written, with anything identifying removed; unverified reports — what was said, not a finding that it was true.

When the car is turned on the speedometer display is blank. Further, the indicators of the car does not function as well. HVAC and info entertainment display worked as expected
Electrical System Sep 13, 2024 NHTSA owner report
I went out from my house and got in my vehicle, turned it on, and the instrument cluster screen was not working. I turned off the car and turned it back on and the screen was still not working; I did not have any way to display my speed on the dash.
Electrical System Sep 12, 2024 NHTSA owner report
I was sold a vehicle with a manufacturer defect. At purchase there was a loud wind noise coming from sunroof. I was promised a swift service department visit to realign the sunroof. At service visit ten days later the dealership replaced sunroof and threw electrical error codes B271100.
