I filed a lemon law claim in February on my Kia EV6 because of the ICCU failure. They repurchased the car about a month ago and now I'm just waiting for a refund check since I had to make a couple payments waiting for them to schedule the surrender of the car

Did your iccu fail multiple times? Or were you able to file it as a lemon due to an unwilling/uncooperative dealership service center?

Every state's Lemon Law is different so you'll have to check with your attorney general. They usually have a webpage outlining their requirements for it to be considered a lemon. My car sat untouched at the dealership for over 30 business days (ended up being over 3 months before it was fixed) because the ICCUs are always on backorder so I was able to file a claim because of that

Ah, makes sense. I bought mine used and my state doesn't allow lemon claims on used vehicles, regardless of condition at time of purchase or status of warranty, so I'm SOL if it has a fundamental issue that the manufacturer decides not to solve.

Yeah, it seems like most require it to be a new purchase and within 2 years of ownership. Fingers crossed you don't have any issues!

I've already had the coolant valve fail... So what are the odds the iccu goes out immediately after, right!?
