Defect Description:

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: WARNINGS

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.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

Potential Consequences:

Our vehicle is a brand-new Kia EV9, and since ownership, we’ve experienced two serious incidents where the instrument cluster/dashboard display has gone completely blank. This occurred once while driving and once immediately after starting the car. The failure is critical because it not only prevents the display of essential information such as speed, but it also disables turn signals, creating an extremely dangerous situation. During the incident that happened while driving, I was unable to signal my intentions to other drivers, significantly increasing the risk of an accident. At present, the only known workaround is to pull over and turn off the vehicle for at least 30 minutes, after which the display typically returns. This issue poses a severe safety concern, and we are eager to have it inspected and properly addressed.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

Potential Consequences:

I had finished charging the car over night and just turned it on to drive to work. However, the dash display did not fully turn on. It did not display the speed, charge, odometer reading, any form of driver safety information, etc. The display was completely blank except for displaying the gear the car was in, that the parking break was on, and that auto hold was engaged. The infotainment and climate control screens were functional and the vehicle could drive but it was unsafe to drive without the main dash screen (including the speedometer).

UNKNOWN OR OTHER

Potential Consequences:

Kia is promoting the use of Digital Keys which rely on your phone and their app. Their app has been down for almost an hour now and it renders EVERY digital key to every owner, useless. While you can unlock your car in some cases, you cannot start your car. No matter what you do, you have to wait for their services to come back online in order for the digital key to work. The digital key also serves as a smart key. Smart keys immobilize cars without the key, to prevent car theft. What’s to say this in the middle of driving, the Kia app goes down again and causes an accident because you no longer can drive your car while on the highway ? I can’t drive anywhere as much as I would like to. I’m stuck at work with no ride and I’m not sure for how long. This is unacceptable.

Potential Consequences:

The vehicle digital instrument cluster turned off and wouldn’t show speed or any other information. The central infotainment screen and the climate control screen worked while driving. The turn signals were not working while this was happening either. Tried to stop the car and start back again within a minute, but the screen never came on. Have pictures taken to prove it. Once we were at our temporary destination, car turned off and when we came back after an hour and restarted the car, the digital instrument cluster came back on and started behaving normally. Can’t reproduce the problem on demand, but happened a few times already.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

Potential Consequences:

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. I turned the car off again for a few minutes and then back on and the instrument cluster screen still did not turn on. I had to go pick up my child from school and so I had to use a 3rd party GPS app to monitor speed and the screen never came back on. The next day I checked and the main gauge cluster screen was working again.

Corrective Action:

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. I turned the car off again for a few minutes and then back on and the instrument cluster screen still did not turn on. I had to go pick up my child from school and so I had to use a 3rd party GPS app to monitor speed and the screen never came back on. The next day I checked and the main gauge cluster screen was working again.

Defect Description:

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

Potential Consequences:

The screen directly in front of the driver stops displaying all information except the gear selection part of the screen and Auto Hold displays. No speedometer or anything. This has happened to us twice now since purchasing the vehicle in March. The dealership can't reproduce it so they can't diagnosis the problem to solve it. I've sent them 2 videos of this happening on different days. After shutting the car off for an hour and turning it back on it seems to correct itself.
