ELECTRICAL SYSTEM PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2024-10-27
- VIN: KNDADFS53R6
- Components: ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
- Summary: Main head display in front of driver is blank. No live driving information is displayed, speed, state of charge, etc. This has happened 3 separate times at this point. So far, leaving the car turned off and locked for an undetermined amount of time (over 30 minutes?) has resolved the issue as the next time the car is started the display functions as normal.
2024-10-24
VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL,UNKNOWN OR OTHER PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2024-10-23
- VIN: KNDAEFS59R6
- Components: VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL,UNKNOWN OR OTHER
- Summary: My gauges stopped displaying any information outside of the gear selection. I had no Speedometer, or acess to any of my safety features. This has happened twice and gauges will turn on again on the next drive if sufficient time has passed.
2024-10-23
STEERING,WHEELS PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2024-10-14
- VIN: KNDADFS5XR6
- Components: STEERING,WHEELS
- Summary: Bought a new EV9 and experienced steering shaking/vibrating heavily on high way speeds. There is always a subtle vibration on speed around 70mph where the cup holders in the middle of front seats vibrates, the driver seat and steering vibrates and creates a unpleasant and disturbing driving experience which can lead to anything worse. There are so many other complains on the similar issue but the manufacturer and/or service agents are not agreeing.
2024-10-23
FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM,FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2024-10-23
- VIN: KNDAEFS55R6
- Components: FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM,FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE
- Summary: I recently had recall 24V693000 completed on my vehicle. After the recall while using the remote vehicle movement feature it no longer stops at all. While demonstrating the feature for a friend interested in purchasing a similar vehicle it did not stop and I had to move and release the remote to stop the vehicle. I have tested it again twice and the same problem occurs, the vehicle does not detect a pedestrian behind it and does not attempt to stop or stop.
2024-10-22
FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE,LANE DEPARTURE PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2024-10-01
- VIN: KNDADFS5XR6
- Components: FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE,LANE DEPARTURE
- Summary: When the vehicle is in adaptive cruise mode and tracking a lane with Lane Keeping Assistance, if the lines on the road widen beyond a certain point (perhaps 3-5ft wider than a normal lane), the vehicle will suddenly stop maintaining the lane with no audio warning or significant visual indicator. As the driver should always be paying attention, it is the lack of an audio warning that is the major concern. On a straight road, the vehicle will slowly begin to drift out of the lane. However, when this happens on a curve, the vehicle will suddenly stop steering around the corner, and throw the vehicle out of the lane in a dangerous way. This happens all the time when the lane widens, which I often experience on newer freeways with wider lanes. If a fix can't be provided for the system shutting down, it at least needs an audio warning indicator so the driver is alerted to what is happening and can safely take control.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL,FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2024-10-11
- VIN: KNDAEFS59R6
- Components: ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL,FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE
- Summary: I am reporting a critical safety issue with my KIA EV9. The vehicle's information screen, which displays essential driving data such as vehicle speed, cruise control status, advanced driving system indicators, lights, and signals, has malfunctioned. On two separate occasions, the screen went completely black while driving, leaving all critical driving information inaccessible. This malfunction poses a significant risk to my safety and the safety of others, as I was unable to monitor the vehicle’s speed or system status while driving. Availability for Inspection: The malfunctioning component (information screen/system) is available for inspection upon request. Safety Risk: This issue compromised my ability to safely operate the vehicle. Without visibility of the speedometer, driving system indicators, or signal lights, I was unable to monitor crucial driving functions. This increased the risk of speeding unknowingly and reduced my ability to respond to surrounding traffic, creating a dangerous situation on the road. Reproduction of the Problem: The issue has occurred twice. While I have not yet had it reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or service center, I am aware that other KIA EV9 owners have reported the same issue, indicating it is not an isolated case. Inspection by Others: To date, the vehicle has not been inspected by KIA, law enforcement, insurance representatives, or other authorities regard Please find below links to forums and websites where other KIA EV9 shared about this issue. 1- [XXX] - [XXX] - [XXX] - [XXX] Here is the video of the incident.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2024-10-08
- VIN: KNDAEFS57R6
- Components: ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE
- Summary: Each time, the digital instrument panel (where the gauges are displayed) goes almost entirely blank. It’ll restart after the car sits while off, but we’ve had to drive without the instrument panel telling us how fast we’re going and whether the turn signals are on or off. This has happened twice now. Twice I have had close calls with forward collision braking. The warning comes on but the automatic breaking does not occur.
2024-10-10
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM PROBLEM

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2024-09-26
- VIN: KNDAB5S15R6
- Components: ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
- Summary: The two drivers electrical monitors fail. The driver side monitor goes blank and the second monitor gets stuck in backup camera mode. When this happens, the turn signals are not indicated inside the car, so driver is not informed if this is working or not. This has happened twice and car was brought to KIA for inspection each time. From the [XXX] article, it appears that numerous other people are having this problem as well. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

UNKNOWN OR OTHER PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2024-10-01
- VIN: KNDADFS58R6
- Components: UNKNOWN OR OTHER
- Summary: Instrument panel went blank while driving. No digital gages available. No sound or picture when turn signals used. Had no idea how fast I was driving. The issue resolved itself after the vehicle was turned off and sat for a few hours. Have a service appointment for safety recall in addition to this and another concern.
2024-10-09
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,UNKNOWN OR OTHER PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2024-09-28
- VIN: KNDAB5S13R6
- Components: ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,UNKNOWN OR OTHER
- Summary: Twice in approximately 6 weeks of ownership, when starting the car, the screen that displays the digital instrument panel for the driver has been blank with the exception of a single letter at the bottom of the display that indicates the drive mode of the vehicle (D). While in this state, the vehicle does not have any audio alerts (e.g. turn signal, blind spot warning, etc). Also, due to the screen being blank, the vehicle speed, remaining range of the electrical vehicle, and all other digital gauge data are unable to be seen. The screen portions to the right of the driver instrument panel (radio, android auto, etc.) are displayed when this occurs. If the vehicle is turned off and then allowed to sit for 30-60 minutes, when restarting the vehicle, the condition is cleared.
2024-10-09
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL,FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2024-10-09
- VIN: KNDAEFS57R6
- Components: ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL,FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE
- Summary: The screen that shows speed, miles remaining, etc. went black on a long trip. All of the automated cruise control, lane keeping, etc. are also housed in that screen. The blinkers would not work, I had no idea how fast I was going at any time which is unsafe. I could not see how much range is left on the vehicle which I imagine could lead the car just dying while driving or going into the turtle mode with too low of a charge. Also, the adaptive cruise control was not working properly and at one point when a car in front of me moved over out of my lane, the car accelerated hard and brought me up to about what was probably about 90-100mph, not even close to where it was set earlier. 2 hour drive without screen or these safety features and the screen still is not back. I will be taking it into the dealership. This is the second time this screen went out but luckily the first time I was not on a 2 hour work trip/drive and was able to just leave the car in my driveway and use another vehicle.
2024-10-09
UNKNOWN OR OTHER PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2024-10-09
- VIN: KNDAEFS52R6
- Components: UNKNOWN OR OTHER
- Summary: Display doesn’t come on when car goes on. Blind spot indicator, turn signal, speed display, nothing works. Car will drive but very unsafe without dash display.
2024-10-09
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2024-08-30
- VIN: KNDAEFS58R6
- Components: ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
- Summary: I copied this from this website. I'm having the exact same issues. I took it to Oakes Kia where I bought the car and they investigated it and said they had no idea what was going on. [XXX] The digital instrument panel (where the gauges are displayed) goes almost entirely blank. It’ll restart after the car sits while off, but we’ve had to drive without the instrument panel telling us how fast we’re going and whether the turn signals are on or off. The screen appears to be losing some communication with the rest of the car, too, because when the digital gauge screen is blank, the camera view that’s activated when you’re in Reverse doesn’t automatically shut off when you’re in Drive and moving forward. The odometer, however, appears to still be accumulating mileage when the screen is off. Changing drive modes, however, did not work.

Driving is so much more enjoyable and secure with all of these safety features!

I absolutely adore this car! It's perfect for everyone and drives like a dream - so smooth and comfortable. The sound system is great, although it could use a little more bass. The back row is a hit with the kids on road trips, thanks to the charging outlets and high-quality seats. It's amazing how quickly it charges - I've even had to cut my zen moments short because it reaches 80% faster than I expect! The acceleration is fantastic and the car is so quiet on the road, it's almost eerie. I've driven sporty Subarus and huge Land Cruisers all over the world, but I've never been as excited for my morning commute as I am in this car.

Are you having problems with your 2024 Kia Ev9?
Watson Parker 2024-11-29
During the first month of owning my KIA, I experienced some issues with the car. It was in the shop for 16 days and stalled in the middle of the road when I hit the brakes to avoid a crash. Although the brakes worked well, the car would only idle after that. Additionally, when we tried to use the converter, it broke our home Telsa charger. Despite these challenges, I am confident that these issues can be resolved and I am working with the dealer to find a solution. I am also actively seeking out chargers that work with my car. Thank you for your understanding.
