“My entire Dash went Black. I could not see speed, gas level, milage. This is an extreme Hazard! I brought the car into Crown KIA in Clearwater to run a Diagnostic Check for 0.5 hour at $150 and they could not find the problem. I had no money to pay for additional time! I did research on this and found that this is a common problem with KIA's no matter what year!! Just because my particular VIN # is not on the recall should not absolve KIA from their duty to provide a safe reliable car!”
NHTSA complaint #11714783, filed 2026-02“The windshield on my car is loose and leaky - water leaks in during rain and wind noise at moderate speeds. I can push from the inside and separate the windshield from the vehicle with minimal effort. There is NHTSA Recall 22V158 for Kia windshield separation on 2014-2016 Cadenzas. I took the vehicle to 2 different Kia service centers and called Kia Consumer Assistance Center, and I still cannot get them to fix this issue. This is a family car and my young children travel in it and it is not safe. please help.”
