“My husband was sitting in our Kia, in park and car turned off, when he heard a loud snapping sound. Car towed to shop resulted in mechanic stating our front driver strut exploded into several pieces. Lucky we were not driving when it happened, he stated. Never had a car do this before, ever!”
NHTSA complaint #11387162, filed 2021-01, 83,000 miles“Front springs breaking and it is numerous model years. Kia knows about this and has done nothing. When you turn the springs twist and break. This is the 2nd time for me that my front springs have broken. Found during a inspection.”
NHTSA complaint #11222650, filed 2019-06, 96,000 miles“When it is raining or after rain if there are still puddles in the road, when the car goes through any puddles the steering locks up for at least 45 seconds. I had my daughter learning how to drive and this happened to her. I should not have to worry about putting my child at risk like this especially with the price of this car. I've had the power steering pump replaced and it still does this. My ESC light has been on since I got the car. So any time I hit the smallest bump or when trying to stop on a bumpy road or on snow or ice, the car locks up. …”
