“In december, 2015, my 6 month old 2015 Kia K900 with no more than 8,000 miles refused to start. Two and half hours later, with two tow trucks on the scene, aided by Kia roadside assistance, the car finally re-started. Less than a month later on sunday, january 3rd, 2016 I left the driveway heading west, and about 4 houses down at approx. 25 miles per hour the vehicle began to 'shut down.' there was loud screeching sound, the steering wheel shook, and all the electronics went dead. The vehicle was inoperable, as the steering, gauge cluster, electronics all shut down. …”

“The screen display will freeze and give an error message. This is dangerous and distracting while operating the vehicle because after the freeze the screen will go black for a period of time, then the system will boot with the welcome screen, then it will ask you to agree with the terms which requires a manual driver operation. This has happened multiple times at random intervals.”

“There is a flaw in night driving where the illuminated instrument cluster reflects on the front windshield glass in the driver's line of vision creating a distracting hazard. The only way to alleviate this condition is to completely dim the instrument cluster to a setting of one which makes the cluster too dim to read. So you have a choice: stare at a reflection in your windshield or be unable to see your speedometer.”

The incident appears consistent with NHTSA Recall Number 23V652: several engine compartment components melted due to the fire.¶For approximately 16 months, I persistently sought a resolution with KIA. Despite my efforts, KIA refused any corrective action & instead presented me with a $66,749.72 invoice for a new engine. …”

“My 2015 Kia K900 developed a no-start condition and displayed a “Check Brake Fuse” warning starting July 4th 2026. The vehicle will not start, and the cause of the failure is currently unknown. It was perfectly fine. I took the vehicle to an authorized Kia dealership for diagnosis and paid a diagnostic fee. The dealership inspected the vehicle but told me they were unable to determine what is causing the problem. The dealership advised me that all recalls on my vehicle are currently up to date. …”
