Example complaints

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

“The mini van's power locks automatically lock themselves. It has happened at least 10 times. It usually does it while the vehicle is running. It has even locked my 3 small children in it. I have had it to the Kia dealership 5 different times and every time they can't get it to duplicate the problem. I've been told they can't do anything to the vehicle unless it is duplicated at the dealership.”
