Our 2019 Niro EV has started making noises when coming down the curb in the driveway, hitting bumps, etc. I’m not good with cars but my guess is suspension. It seems to improve as the car drives more throughout a trip. The sound is sort of a creaking, clicking/clunking noise in the front drivers side wheel area. Wondering if anyone else has had any issues or if this is normal wear and tear after some 45,000 miles of owning any vehicle. It seems like it started happening after we got new...

When using cruise control I would like to turn OFF the Lane Following feature. That is the feature that lights up the green/white steering wheel on the dashboard. Yes, I have tried to read the manual and did a search of YouTube and the Internet. The newer models have a separate button on the steering wheel, but not the 2019. Your help would be appreciated ..read more

I recently drained my 12V battery at the drive in movie. I know I had the car in the on position at the start, but I guess I must have accidentally turned it to auxiliary at some point. A couple of people offered to jump but then got scared off by the fact that it was an EV, so we called roadside assistance who were able to get it started. In the future, aside from not letting it drain in the first place -- I only learned about the "utility mode" after this happened -- does anyone have... Dead 12V battery in 2019 Niro EV ..read more

A couple of days ago, our 2022 Niro EX EV was unable to charge at five different chargers: I tried both ports on an Electrify America charger (and the EA support tech rebooted the charger); two different EVgo chargers (I was unable to talk with their support techs, my calls kept getting dropped); and the Level 3 charger at the Kia dealer also failed to start a session. At the dealer the charging status lights on the dash started blinking which the manual translates as "Error while charging."... Troubleshooting Level 3 Charging Failures ..read more

I don't often let my battery get below 30 percent and don't often check my range so I thought I would do a 'how accurate is the GOM' test cold weather mid 20s to low 40s during test Only driver last month, predictable use 38 degrees F 222 miles estimated range at start 100 percent 37 degrees F 24 miles estimated range at end 12 percent 174 miles driven So 11 percent low. GOM and odometer tracked almost perfectly except the one cold day where it was much colder Pretty sure absent that one... GOM check ..read more

We're looking for some more EV enthusiasts to try out our EV Health and Range Validation app. It's important that when buying second-hand EVs, people know exactly what range they're going to get, we can't rely on the GOM to do this for us, nor can we rely on WLTP. ClearWatt has developed an app that uses telematics to record 3 drives, collecting driving style and environmental factors to understand exactly how your car is performing. It’s super easy to get involved with the BETA, just head... EV APP FOR BATTERY HEALTH AND REAL RANGE ..read more

Hi just trying to get a feel for how other Kia dealers deal with warranty. 2020 Kia E Niro. My apple car play disconnects and connects. Problem because if I’m using it for navigation and I’m in traffic I can lose my route. If I’m updating the software and it disconnects this could cause the unit to be bricked. I have: 1) cleaned the port on my iphone. 2) Tried 3 different cables, the last one a brand new apple cable. 3) Tried 3 different iphones. 4) Had phone forget connection then...

I have a 2020 Niro EV EX (halogen bulbs) for brake lights. I want to switch them to LED but the first one I tried, would throw a burnt brake light error. Anyone try a LED bulb that doesn't cause this issue? The one I tried only had a max wattage of 3W. Not sure how high it needs to be to not throw the code ..read more

Hello, I have a 2019 Niro EV (SX Touring) with just under 80,000 KMs. My daily commute is mostly highway, 130 KMs round trip. Over the last 6 weeks my car has been briefly going into Power Limited mode during my drives (displays on screen with the turtle, I lose all power, then the message clears after 10 - 15 seconds and my power is restored and back to normal. Sometimes it happens once, sometimes it happens 3 times in a 1 hour drive. One drive it did it 10 times in less than an hour,... Frequent / Intermittent "Power Limited" Behavior ..read more
