Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“The vehicle has repeatedly jerked into other lanes while I am driving, requiring me to quickly jerk the steering wheel back to avoid a collision. This occurs whether the lane-keeping assistance feature is turned on or off. I turned the feature off, but the problem continued. The vehicle does not feel safe to drive and appears likely to cause an accident, especially when there is oncoming traffic.”

NHTSA complaint #11765205, filed 2026-09

“My car was brand new with only 1442 miles. I was hit in the rear passenger side at a four way stop, this was not much force, however I was injured and my car was deemed a total loss. I fear this car ranks low in safety. Thankfully my daughter was not with me at the time.”

“On August 26, 2026, at approximately 5:30 PM, while driving home from work at about 55 MPH, the factory panoramic sunroof glass of my brand-new 2026 Kia K4 spontaneously shattered and catastrophically exploded without any external impact. The sudden, deafening blast sounded like a gunshot or like another vehicle had crashed into me, though I felt no physical impact. This intense noise created an extreme safety hazard as I swerved due to a panic reaction, and could have lost control of the vehicle, or caused a multi-car collision during rush hour traffic. …”

“The vehicle issues began 3 weeks after purchasing a 2026 Kia K4 with 89 miles on it. * Key fob not recognized , black screen, car not starting and cascading into many other infotainment problems. ** Revving far higher (1.4 - 4.4) with the slightest acceleration ***Hesitating, them engaging so suddenly that steering is incredibly difficult. On more than one occasion, of someone had been in front of me, I would have hit them. ****All steering assist options OFF yet the car will take control and turn me towards oncoming traffic. I absolutely could have been in/caused a serious accident. …”
