Electric vehicle owners have recently faced a wave of challenges and disappointments, with a series of class action lawsuits.
Owners of Kia vehicles in the United States were recently surprised when a recall was issued for the 2017-2022 Niro and 2018-2022 Niro Plug-in Hybrid models.
History of The Hydraulic Clutch Actuator Recall and Cause
These vehicles were deemed to be at risk of engine compartment fires, a concerning safety issue that affected more than 121,000 vehicles. The recall began after discovering that fluid leakage into the printed circuit board inside the hydraulic clutch actuator (HCA) and could lead to engine compartment fires while driving. While Kia offers free repairs, recalls like these can sometimes lead to class-action lawsuits.
The Problems Don’t Stop Here with Charge Port Recalls
In another development, a class-action lawsuit has been filed against Hyundai, Kia, and Genesis over faulty charge ports that affect several EV models, including the Hyundai Ioniq 5, Ioniq 6, Kia EV6, and Genesis GV60. The issue arises during Level 2 charging, causing slow charge times or complete charging failures. Accusers claim that these chargers frequently overheat, disrupting charging routines and forcing owners to unplug and restart the process. While a software update has been offered as a solution, it fails to fully address the problem, leaving owners frustrated.
Conclusion and How You Can Take Back Control
EV owners are facing a range of issues, from fire risks to overheating chargers and charging failures. While recalls and software updates have been initiated, many owners continue to be unhappy with the solutions provided by automakers. These problems have the potential to escalate into further legal action, underlining the importance of protecting consumer rights.
