Not sure why the engine oil issue is brought up since the video is supposed to about the EV.

Just got my 2019 KIA Niro EV with 21K miles back after a week in the dealership shop. I was hearing the clicking sound from the drivetrain at slow speed. The sound is very suttle and you have to listen very carefully to hear it, almost like a muffled ratcheting sound, but it's definitely detectable. They said it could be three things: Motor mount (which they replaced first), the reduction gear, or the Traction Motor( which is equivalent of gasoline car engine in EVs). In my case it turned out to be the Traction Motor. Service tech told me had my car not been under warranty, it would've have cost close to $11,000.

I bought ev Niro, out of garantee (below market price 4000eur) Clikcing noise was loud. Solution was 2pcs RS6007 bearing change in electric motor+3liter of coolant. Cost: change parts 100eur, workship 500 eur. Now the tire noise most louder at all 😂 don't worry be EV!

You should change the title of this video, it’s all about issues to do with the phev not just the ev

My Niro EV 2020 model has an issue with fast chargers that Kia seems unable to fix. The fast charger gives an error that communication with the vehicle failed, and will not start the charging session. Sometimes it seems to help to hold the plug while communication is attempted, but often when releasing it stops charging again. I have been at Kia twice and they have not been able to fix this issue yet.

5:01 If gasoline enters the oil supply in an EV, your drivechain has some serious problems. And it'll for sure confuse the mechanics how gasoline ended up inside an EV.

My 2023 phev Niro has been making a loud growling sound when I shift from R to D and turn the wheel right or left. It has been doing this since April. It doesn't do it every time, but everytime it happens, that is the pattern. I have had it in the shop to address the problem and the mechanic said it was due to faulty rear shock absorbers (?), which he replaced. Three days after I got the car back, the noise returned. It sounds like it's coming from the front of the car, almost under my seat. Have another appointment to take it in. Any ideas or experience with this problem. I also had that problem with lurching but it hasn't happened since I took it in for that problem a few months ago. I think I have a defective vehicle! Any comments would be greatly appreciated.

Nice thanks

...and number sveight the with time growing louder ghost sound, it can be solved easily but the dealer can charge $£€$€£. I start hearing it in my Hyundai ioniq and it happens also in eNiro, but calm down

The EV doesn’t have OIL?

You incorrectly call it a NIRO EV. This model is actually the eNiro The Niro EV is the new shape from late 2022

tons more problems than listed here.
