As a 2022 EV6 owner with almost 70k miles on it, I have to share that it is an excellent vehicle. The ADAS is great and has saved my bacon a few times. The ICCU is original and I have had relatively few visits to the dealer. Only a set of tires, cabin filter, and an AGM 12V battery needed for maintenance
Jumped a cascadia '21 with my 2014 Kia Sorento
Changing the cabin air filter is the easiest maintenance you can do on the EV9. There are a few covers to pull out in the frunk and no tools required. You could do it yourself in under 5 minutes for the cost of a new filter.
I have a 06 sportage, just did the timing belt, and it locked great after 80k km. changed it anyway, and the water pump.
Aftermarket on some newer Kia models can cause judder.
Only issue I ever had was on a 15 Optima, welds on the muffler broke when driving between 2 extreme temperatures and it was a cheap fix.
Around August 12th my son was driving my vehicle and my motor blew!! I was truly lucky they were able to to get Kia to replace motor but the damage was already done to my catalytic converter so they said I had to replace that!
Back in December, when I had only 36k miles, I went to accelerate on the highway and the check engine light started FLASHING. I got a P0301 Cylinder 1 Misfire code, which ended up being my fuel injector failing open, which Kia covered under warranty, including an oil change for the contaminated oil.
I just had the ignition coils blow on my ‘23 at just 29k miles. While out of state. It’s been a nightmare dealing with Kia customer service because the part was back ordered.
My 2025 Carnival EX just got a crack and I’ve had it about three weeks. Don’t even remember seeing a rock hit it.
