Kia EV9 — reported problems
CarFaultIQ holds 773 evidence records for the Kia EV9 (2024–2026), drawn from official sources and owner complaints.
What owners report: issue areas
Owner complaints are classified by the system they concern: 816 classifications in all. One complaint can concern several systems, so these add up to more than the number of complaints.
- Electrical system236 (28.9%)Official recall records for this system: 2, covering model years 2024–2026.
- Driver-assistance systems122 (15.0%)
- Tires & wheels48 (5.9%)
- Suspension44 (5.4%)
- Speed control & accelerator40 (4.9%)
- Steering40 (4.9%)
Other / uncategorized: 88 classifications (10.8%) were not assigned to a specific system by the source. They are counted but not treated as an issue area.
These are counts of records held by CarFaultIQ, not a failure rate. More records can simply mean more vehicles were sold or more owners reported. No vehicles-in-service figure exists in this data, so no reliability or risk score can be derived from it.
What the records are about, by source
Each source is kept separate: owner complaints, recalls, manufacturer communications and investigations are different kinds of record and are never added together. All model years.
- Owner complaints (496 records, model years 2024–2026) are most frequently classified under: electrical system, driver-assistance systems and tires & wheels.
- Manufacturer communications (240 records, model years 2024–2026) are most frequently classified under: electrical system, visibility (glass, wipers, mirrors) and fuel system.
"Most frequently classified under" reports how the records are filed by the source. It is not a finding about causes, and a record can be filed under more than one system. Read the individual records
Mileage reported when the issue occurred
- 24reports included a mileage
- 10,295average of those mileages
This is the mileage owners recorded at the time they reported, not an expected failure mileage and not a prediction for any individual vehicle. The lowest and highest figures on record are not shown: they are unverified odometer entries that include zeros and implausibly high readings, so they would not describe a real range. A median is not shown either, because the stored figures are group totals and a median cannot be recovered from them.
Evidence by model year
Records held per model year. Select a year to narrow this page to it.
Counts are not adjusted for how many vehicles were sold in each year, so a taller year is not necessarily a worse year.
