Got hit by the ICCU failure today. Car completely shut down while I was driving. No power, no response, nothing. Had to roll to a stop and keep my foot on the brake to stop it from rolling backward.
It’s at the dealer now. Hoping they can sort it out quickly. This is frustrating.
I’m in Ontario… mine failed two weeks ago, still no ETA for the part. Good luck, hope yours gets sorted faster.

I really hope it doesn’t take that long .

Some people get lucky and have it done in two weeks… others end up waiting months. It’s like a lottery but with worse odds.

Mine has been at the dealer for over a week and they still don’t have a timeline. It sucks.
Mine has been sitting at the dealer for 28 days. I’m in WA state, and if it hits 30 days, I can push for a buyback under the Lemon Law. I love this car, but this whole situation is unacceptable.
Hope you got a dealer that knows what they’re doing.

They’re supposed to be one of the best around here, so fingers crossed.
The parts situation is bad. My dealer told me the ICCU is on national backorder (USA). My car has been stuck at the shop since January 24th.

Wow, that’s really bad.

Ask them for a rental… you shouldn’t be left without a car.
@Ali
Already asked. They said they’re checking if they can approve one for me.

My 2013 Rio has been at the dealer since June 19, 2024. They broke a part because they didn’t follow the right procedure, and now they say they can’t get a replacement. I don’t want to get lawyers involved because of the car’s age, but after this, I’ll never buy a Kia again.
Adding my story here… my ICCU failed two months ago, with only 2,000 miles on the odometer. Yes, two thousand. Brand new 2024 GT.
Luckily, my dealership is solid. They replaced the ICCU, the 12V battery, and a couple of other things. No issues since.
But still… 2,000 miles? This feels like a ‘when’ not ‘if’ kind of problem. My last car was a 2019 Stinger, which got hit with the whole Kia Boys situation, so I switched to this thinking it would be better. And now this.
Still not completely done with Kia, but they really need to step up and fix this for good.
@Weston
Hope it holds up, but just so you know, they’re putting in the same ICCU that failed in the first place. Some people have already had their replacements fail too. They know what’s wrong with it but aren’t fixing the actual issue.
How many miles were on your car when it failed?

Just over 18,300.

What year and trim? Just trying to figure out if mine is at risk.

2023 Kia EV6 GT-Line.
Kia has sold about 96,000 EV6 worldwide, and if this affects 1%, they should be able to get 960 replacement ICCUs, right? But here we are, with people waiting months.
