“Driving this morning 5/7/2025 at 9:09am and smoke started emitting from the center consol accompanied by a burning smell. My husband noticed the smoke coming from the car charging area, it made a popping/poof sound accompanied with even more smoke. We immediately pulled the charger out of the charger port. My car charger was melted and slightly burned.”

NHTSA complaint #11572809, filed 2024-02

“I have had to replace the front rotors twice now. Once at 20k and again at 30k. The tires had plenty of tread life but started to separate in the center of the tire at 20k miles. No inspection by a dealer. Called Kia as well as Kia customer care and was advised nothing was covered under the warranty. No lights came on but the shaking for the brakes as well as a tire vibration was made apparent”
