EV9

  • miles
I leased my EV9, GT from Northstar KIA, NY. I got the delivery of EV9 GT on 3/29/2024. I started to notice that the car was not charging properly. After the whole night of charging it was charged like 3-4% at most. on the 3rd-4th day, the car started to make sudden abnormal sounds. I called the salesperson and dealership regarding the charging, and other issues, and told me to take it to the service center. I took the car to the service center on 4/7/2024, and I was told that the mechanic for EV9 was not available that day. Later that day I was driving to the shopping mall, and the car started to behave weirdly, after driving about 8-10 miles, right before the mall entrance, the car became very slow, it was not responding to acceleration. I was slowly able to pull the car to the parking. About 2-3 hours later when I started the car again, it started normally, all the signs were good, and as soon as I turned my car on the main street, about 3-4 minutes after starting the car, it suddenly stopped. Thank God, there were no cars right behind me. The power was on, but the car was not moving. I had to tow the car to my home since the service center was closed. The next day I called Kia roadside assistance and it is at a service center on 04/08/2024. I am an extremely busy physician and have small children in my household. I am deeply concerned about the safety aspects of this vehicle as it tends to shut off in the roadway while driving. This is extremely dangerous for me and my family. To my surprise, My dealer, Northstar KIA has no loaner vehicle. After my repeated requests, my salesperson told me to go to the service center and ask for a rental car. and also told me they would reimburse the rental fees. When I called the service center, they said they do not have any rental or loaner car. While I leased and paid for the car, I am without my car or a loaner car.
