Hi all, I have a 2019 Niro EV. I have occasionally had issues with the Power Limited (I call it "turtle mode") screen pop up throughout the life of my car and even more rarely the Check Electrical System light popping up (but always going away after restarting the car), but at around 97,000 miles, I lost AC and the turtle mode was happening more often, so I took it in to the dealer. I had also previously borrowed a code reader from a friend a pulled the code P0C17 (resolver calibration), but it must have been an old code because the dealer couldn't replicate the same code. They fixed the AC and did the resolver calibration, but the turtle mode kept happening. I took it back around 101,000 miles because the Check Electrical Light was on and it didn't charge the previous night. Once they finally got to looking at it, they said it pulled a new code referencing the battery sensor B failing, which has to do with the insulation of the battery and they recommended a full battery replacement, which is ~$30k repair. I tried talking with Kia customer service about getting it fixed under warranty because the problem was happening before 100,000 miles, but they wouldn't accept that it was the same problem of course.
I want to know how long I can expect to use this car before I have to get a new one, or do I see about a second opinion/try Kia again. The car continues to intermittently go into turtle mode, and bringing up the check electrical system twice in the month since I've had it looked at. I drive about 50 miles a day 5 days a week. I drive maybe 24 miles on the weekends or much less/not at all.
Thanks for your help.
