Hi,
I wanted to canvass views from fellow Kia e-Niro 4+ drivers out there as we are having a problem with the climate control on our recently delivered e-Niro. We placed the order at the start of August and had it delivered two weeks ago - it is a beautiful car and fantastic to drive but as far as I can see the CC just does not work on ours. We have had it checked out by the dealership and they say the diagnostic tests are all fine so we are now contemplating our next steps.
Let me describe the scenario.
If we pre-warm the vehicle via the remote to any temperature eg 22 deg, 23 ... doesn't matter which ... up to 27 deg (the maximum) the cabin heats up and is at the correct temperature when we get it but thereafter once we start the car and drive, with the CC set to Auto, the temperature just drops back to a bit above the outside temperature (which at present in the UK means it is around 16 deg inside the car - which gets pretty cold after a while). The heat just never seems to come back on - regardless of the state of the 'Heat' button/indicator on the panel - it seems to just blow out unheated air.
If we don't pre-warm the car it behaves similarly in Auto - it heats up to the selected temperature when we start and then switches off and never comes back on. Using just the AC and not the Auo CC is the same.
To me this just sounds broken - a problem with the heating system. I would be interested in hearing anyone else's experience!
Thanks!
