Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 28 of 28, newest first, as owners wrote them.
I would never buy a kia again. This car has been nothing but trouble. The transmission prematurely went out with no warning. Had to be completly replaced. Both front headlight assemblies melted due to reasons still unknown. The brakes worn prematurely. Not to mention all of the other hassles I've had with this car. Sometimes I wish someone would just take it, I hate it so much!
Sliding door keeps ajar, and overhead light come son. Brakes are squealing and the car shakes badly if I go 65 miles per hour. I noticed that when it is raining that the car makes a terrible buzzing sound. I ahve had an exhaust leak and the brakes replaced already once and the fuel pump was replaced but I am still having problems with it.
The federal safety agency recall 99v318000 and manufacturer's recall 99v318000 concerning fuel pump failure. Dealership has the parts, but only has 1 mechanic that works on this type of car. They scheduled an appointment for 02-182-00 for the backup lights, but not for engine stalling. Consumer will try to get recall repairs for the fuel pump done on the day of the appointment.
While driving headlights malfunctioned due to a a defect in the relay switch.
Vehicle experiencing ongoing problem with turn signal failing to operate whenever A/C or heater are being used.s turn signal stop operating if either system is on. Dealer notified, and problem unable to be corrected at this time.
When the transmission was in reverse, it would pop out of gear into neutral. Then vehicle would stop. Also, ABS brakes were replaced twice due to excessive wear to drums. Headlights would have condensation, and dashboard was replaced due to cracks. Vehicle now on third transmission and it still slips out of reverse when backing up.
Turn signals only work intermittently. Nlm
When the high beams are on the headlights become inoperable, cause unknown. Please give any further details.
Possible engine failure caused the check engine light to be illuminated. Nlm
Brakes vibrate. Nlm
Air conditioner failure making noises.
The door seals failed allowing fumes to enter the car. Nlm
Front brake rotors and disk brake pads failed. Nlm
Whenever fuel is pumped into tank, it would spill back out. Vehicle cannot be completely filled. Has taken vehicle to dealer & entire fuel tank system has been replaced. The problem still exists. Also engine check light keeps coming on/turn signals would not show, and headlights would get moisture inside of lens.
I will be taking my car in for the 5th time on tuesday. The same problem with turn signal.
Both head lamp seals failed, so when it rains or the car is washed the headlights fog up severly causing poor visibility.
On numerous occasions the turn signal fails to work. Dealer replaced the fuse, but it did not resolve the problem.
