36 Electrical System problem

Failure Date: 06/16/2022

Upon starting my vehicle morning of 6/16/22 the lcd cluster display showed “system check” with the scan of the picture of the SUV then screen went to black. I attempted to restart the vehicle and it did the same thing. I took the vehicle directly to dealer and rep saw the blank display. In addition apple car play stopped working. On 6/20 rep informed me that everything was working and tech was unable to duplicate the problem. There’s obviously something faulty with the vehicle. The car has less than 5500 miles and dealer said since they were unable to duplicate the problem there’s nothing to repair but if it happens again to take it back in. This issue prevents me from being able to see odometer and if I have to wait for a tech to get around to looking at it I risk the chance of the problem temporarily fixing itself before the tech looks at it.

37 Electrical System problem

Failure Date: 06/04/2022

Instrument cluster goes blank. “data error” message displays. Speedometer stops working. Fuel gauge goes to “empty”. Compass displays the opposite of what is true (says I’m going north when actually traveling south). Warning message (voice and display on map) giving me a dangerous warning that I’m traveling north while in a southbound lane. No speedometer puts me and others at risk. Problem has been reproduced at dealership on 7/20/2022. No prior symptoms or warning lights when problem first occurred with 300 miles on the odometer. Created a case number with kia on 6/23/2022 (14889564). This problem seems very similar if not exactly like NHTSA campaign number 22v344000 and kia recall number sc237. Kia seems to be dragging their feet in fixing this dangerous problem. It’s been very difficult getting any answers on when they will fix the problem. I could use your help. This issue has occurred 9 times in 8 weeks.

38 Electrical System problem

Failure Date: 05/24/2022

While driving the car, the speedometer on the car read 0, the entire drive. It would not register how fast or slow I was going. I tried turning off the car and turned it back on, it continued to not read my speed. I have video of the entire incident, but it looks like I can't download video to this site.

39 Electrical System problem

Failure Date: 05/23/2022

After taking my car back to the dealership and speaking to kia USA about my instrument panel going blank randomly, now my blinker arrow lights have stopped working randomly. This is a safety issue even more than the instrument panel because my blinker can be on without me being aware, which could lead to another car pulling out in front of me if they assume I am turning. I was driving for a while today before I realized that my blinker panel lights had turned off and I had been driving with the blinker on. This occurrence has happened twice now within the last week.

40 Electrical System problem

Failure Date: 03/06/2022

Instrument panel is not functioning, vehicle is currently at service center waiting for replacement part to determine if this will correct all issues which includes gear shift light indicator not working, voice command stating “turn around you are entering the wrong way” randomly while driving and the instrument panel. Initially the instrument panel screen would alternate between working fine to intermittently being partly or fully snowy before it would go completely dark. This pattern continued until mid may when it went completely dark and has stayed this way. Although there is no recall at this time on my specific vehicle I’m concerned that this ongoing issue could potentially caused me harm while driving.
