Stalling on other EV6 years
No other EV6 model year has enough reports of stalling for a sheet of its own. See every EV6 year.
What this problem usually is
Stalling reports are some of the most alarming on the site. The engine quits while the car is moving, sometimes on a highway and sometimes at a stop. Many owners say it restarted right away and the dealer found no stored code, which is part of why these complaints pile up before anything gets fixed.
What got replaced
Owners who name the part that was replaced mention the battery (16 reports).

What owners wrote
“ICCU unit lost power and the car was unable to drive. Luckily I was parked when it happened but if I had been driving it would have been very dangerous. The part was replaced under warranty but they said it could happen again which really scares me.”

“While driving, the car all of a sudden lost power - forcing me to pull over. If this were to happen while on the freeway, a crash would have been imminent. This is a known issue with kia/Hyundai EV's where the ICCU fails and causes the vehicle to lose power suddenly.”
Filed Dec 23, 2025
“My ICCU failed while I was driving and I lost power while in a light controlled intersection in Chicago. The screen turned off and I could not see my speedometer or any driving information. I luckily was able to roll to the side of the road and park the car. My car could not change gears, doors would not work, trying to jumpstart the 12V did not work.”

“Not charging on Level 1, Level 2 chargers, only level 3. ICCU problem confirmed by dealer diagnostic even after recall software update was installed.”

Should you keep driving it?
This page can't tell you that. 0 of 37 reports involved a crash. Owners who file are the ones who had a bad experience, and nobody checks their reports. If the problem affects steering, braking, power or a fire risk, treat it as a safety fault and have it inspected before a long or high-speed drive.
