I've noticed some strange behavior with my Kia Niro's hybrid system. The car sometimes struggles to switch between gasoline and electric power, and I've also noticed a decrease in fuel efficiency. Are there any known issues with the Niro's hybrid system that I should be aware of?
ReplyHi Timothy, thanks for reaching out about your Niro. It's not uncommon for hybrid systems to have issues with switching between power sources, especially in cold weather. However, if you're noticing a decrease in fuel efficiency, that could indicate a bigger problem. I recommend taking your Niro to a Kia dealership for a diagnostic to see if there are any underlying issues.
Hey Timothy, I've had the same experience with my Niro's hybrid system. After some research, I found out that there is a known issue with the hybrid system's voltage control unit, which can result in decreased fuel efficiency and difficulty switching between power sources. I suggest taking your car to a Kia dealership for a VCU update, which should resolve the issue.
Hi Tim, I've also experienced issues with my Niro's hybrid system. One potential problem could be the battery temperature sensor, which can malfunction and cause the car to struggle with switching between gasoline and electric power. I recommend bringing your car to a Kia dealership to have the sensor checked and possibly replaced.
