I think the options here have changed as the software has been updated.

My 2016 is noticeable at times, usually cold temperatures but the car has warmed up enough that the internal fan speed has dropped. I sometimes hear it when doing AC in the summer. It sounds like an old noisy fridge compressor.

The HVAC system uses high voltage from the main battery for the compressor and I think also for the resistive heating wires. All the blower fan, solenoids and that kind of stuff use the 12V. If you have a problem on the high voltage stuff, you need to take it to a dealer. It's 400 Volts DC and...

You are always going to see the problem posts, and the owners who are happy busy driving rather than posting about it. I got my 2016 in September 2015 and I usually charge to 80% rather than 100%. There are a couple of days when I have to go out in the evening across town that I will charge to...

In drive there is no sound when stationary. It only makes a sound when moving and only up to 20kph, after that there is enough tyre and wind noise that it doesn't bother making the sound. I think that the same speaker is used for both the forwards burble and the reversing bong, so if it is...

Normally you go to your countries Kia website, do "Find a Dealer" and the search function has "Authorized EV Dealer" as an option.

I would have said bad 12V battery at first, but now that you have replaced it, it means that you have something draining the 12V battery. I think you need to start looking for where the power is going, pulling fuses and checking current flowing.

Sounds like the On Board Charger (OBC) has died. There were a lot of those that died early on and a firmware update and test programme when taking the car in for service. If it is the OBC then charging with a Level 3 DC Fast Charger should still work as that goes straight to the battery rather...

I think that you have 2 issues going on: 1) Hard braking car dies. This one concerns me, I suspect that you have an issue on your 12V system - the brakes need 12V to pump up the brake boost pressure and also 12V is needed to turn on the high voltage battery relay. I would get your 12V battery...

I only know the answer to some of these: Battery fan in the trunk is for cooling the battery both while driving and while charging. It will run at different speeds or not at all depending on how warm the battery gets. I don't think this is your problem, you are getting water pump codes and...

Sounds like your battery is dying. I would check with the Soul Spy app and a KW902 bluetooth dongle.

I would check the coolant level and if it isn't that then take it to the dealer to find out what it is. If there are problems with the cooling system then you could be risking doing damage by continuing to drive it with the light on.

Check your warranty booklet, I believe it is going to vary based on where in the world you are. Mine was covered for 3 years, and of course failed shortly after that!

Transmission is replaceable separately from the motor.

I would just go for 3 as the stuff that fails has been replaced and you can just drive the car. Yes it costs more but you are paying for peace of mind.

The logo is normally white unless you are in "B" and then it switches to green. That first photo is puzzling because it shows the car in "D" but the logo is green. I think that's probably just a glitch in the cluster software - I've seen other glitches e.g. the red battery section flashing, "AV...

The original is just a normal wet battery but low/no maintenance. When I replaced mine it came up as taking a normal one that I can top up. Double check which car the battery is for, I think the one for the EV is a slightly different size than the ICE one.

Start the warranty process now, there's no benefit to waiting.

Your 12V battery is low, it should be mid 13V with everything turned off (no lights on etc). The car looks to be charging it properly as it is mid 14V when the car is turned on. I suspect that 12V battery has just enough voltage to turn on the car and start it charging from the main battery...

Check your 12V battery with the car turned on and again with it off.
