NHTSA complaint #11389447, filed 2021-01, 10,000 miles“Clear coat on my Kia Amanti is peeling off. This clear coat problem first started on my front bumper and after a long inspection of the entire car my clear coat is coming off of nearly 200 little different spots. I have written complaints to Kia america and have submitted complaints online and I have never, never heard anything back. I took my Kia Amanti to the local dealership and their explanation was it was bird poop. I seriously doubt and Kia can not prove that what is happening to my vehicle is the result of bird poop. …”
NHTSA complaint #10168422, filed 2006-09, 1 miles“Bought this car used in december 2017 and within the first weeks of driving it noticed erratic problems when driving over 40mph. On the highway it has problems frequently with increasing speed when accelerated, especially on an uphill incline, and when I'm stopped/ sitting still, it tries to backfire. …”
NHTSA complaint #11258678, filed 2019-09, 154,386 miles“I think the radio isotope electric generator was removed from the car. The heat and air conditioner were not kicking on and it also caused the battery to die. We thought it was the alternator. I didnt know it was electric. Also the co2 and year gas were removed and not sure if any firearms were. This was 'the beast' I believe. I received a call from mike he mentioned I should add it to my current insurance plan but I told him I only had obamacare. Get my diamond jubilee back please!”
