Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“I had the rear of the sunroof opened while parked. I tried to close it and it would not fully close. It would almost close then stop then retreat upward a few millimeters and stop. I tried again several times. I tried to select the option to slide the sunroof back into the roof and that did not function either. I checked from both right and left sides, inside and from outside to see if there was an obstruction but noted nothing. …”
NHTSA complaint #10546898, filed 2013-10, 30,100 miles“New 2009 Kia Borrego difficult to keep between the white lines when driving. I notice it more when I'm on the freeway. Service tech drove car with me and agrees with complaint. He stated, you have to concentrate to keep it straight! Also, said that it can't be fixed it is just the way Kia manufactures this car. Everyday when driving I feel like I am going to hit the car next to me or they are going to hit me! Its not safe.”
NHTSA complaint #10293054, filed 2009-11, 150 miles“Sun visors on both sides will not retract up to rooftop so its blocking visibility. The right side went out 1st about a year ago, but when the driver side stop working about 3 mo.. That's when I have a problem. So for the past 3 months is been a big problem for me.”
