Narrative

[XXX] about [XXX] our 2024 Kia EV6 WIND RWD AUTO VIN: [XXX] already serviced in both NHTSA Campaign #: 24V867000 and Campaign #: 24V200000 had a sudden loss of drive power and nearly all control while driving in rush hour traffic at 65MPH on [XXX] between Atwater and Livingston. The confirmed failed ICCU component can be inspected at Modesto Ca Kia. The sudden loss of drive power and control in rush hour highway traffic put me and numerus other rush hour highway drivers at catastrophic risk of multiple crashes, this could happen to anyone with the same car and especially concerning because our car had ALREADY been serviced in the 2 previous NHTSA recalls (see above) for the very issue (ICCU) that impacted our car nearly resulting in a catastrophic outcome. The confirmed failed ICCU component has only been inspected, and confirmed failed by the KIA EV certified technician at the Modesto Ca Kia dealership. Since owning the car [XXX] a yellow 12 volt battery lamp indicator, not a warning light, on the front dash would occasionally be lit randomly while driving or parked. Just moments before the sudden loss of power and control numerus warning lights and messages were appearing and the displays were flashing on and off. We had absolutely no: warning lamps, messages, symptoms, nor any other issue whatsoever with our car prior to this sudden failure while driving on the highway. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
