Potential Consequences:

The main display of the vehicle which shows Speed, Range, Blind Spot Cameras, etc - essentally all the critical vehicle information needed to drive - goes blank randomly. While the vehicle is driveable during this time, the driver does not know their speed, range, any other alerts/warnings that would typically be shown on the guage screen (including seatbelt warnings, mechanical failure warnings etc). During this time the climate screen and infotainment screens, which are seperate, function but the main guage screen does NOT. There is no pattern/predictablity as to when the screen will be unavailable. Further, it does not seem to return until the vehicle is parked and locked for an extended period (eg, several hours).

UNKNOWN OR OTHER

Potential Consequences:

The control screen with speedometer, all the advanced driving systems has blanked twice. The car still drives fine, but I couldn’t tell how fast I was going or access any of the advanced driving features or warnings using a camera. I wasn’t even sure if my turn signal was going until I got out and checked. All the online forums advise to turn off and lock car for 30 minutes and restart, which has worked, but the first time it happened I was driving downtown and couldn’t tell whether any of my external signals were working. The second time (several weeks later) driving carpool. Get out and wait 30 minutes is not feasible. Because they were spaced rather far apart, I don’t feel like it’s a single software update issue.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

Potential Consequences:

After returning to the car from a short stop, the cluster display, including speedometer, would not turn on or display. This also made it seem like turn signals were not working, but they seem to actually have worked, just not been audible or visible inside the vehicle. This reportedly is happening to many Kia EV9 owners, and the solution is to leave the car off for 30+ minutes. In my case, leaving the car off over night worked and everything was back to normal after, but it was very disconcerting and unsafe to have to drive home with no speed information (or any other usual cluster display details).

Defect Description:

LANE DEPARTURE: BLIND SPOT DETECTION

Potential Consequences:

The main display panel that shows the speed, turn signal info, blind spot monitoring, and many other things just intermittently dies. According to many posts within online forums, the only known fix is to turn off the vehicle, wait at least 30 minutes and turn the car back on. There does not seem to be a reset option like there is for the radio/map/settings panel. It also does not allow you to see how much fuel (or charge in this case) is left in the vehicle.
