“We were notified of a dangerous part failure. In early april. So far we have heard no more from Kia the manufacturer & the dealer knows nothing. We need our vehicle. It's our only vehicle. We need to park it outside away from other vehicles as it can burst into flames. We need this fixed now.”

NHTSA complaint #11321697, filed 2020-04, 102,000 miles“I had issues putting in park and then getting out of park. Disconnected battery cable to turn off vehicle. Battery seemed dead but had battery checked out it's fully good. Now my ABS,battery,brake,ESC lights all came on and vehicle has no power. Seems like it could be brake-tramission shift interlock problems?”
NHTSA complaint #10986013, filed 2017-05, 159,000 miles“My ESC light and ABS light came on as I was pulling out of the movie theater and my vehicle immediately turned off so I restarted it and pulled out onto the highway where it turned off again and wouldn't restart for 15-20 minutes once I got it restarted my engine started making a weird sound and I could not accelerate it kept jerking like I was running out of gas when I had a full tank luckily I made it home with my 3 kids before it shut off again. Not safe at all.”

The parts are not currently available to fix this. In the meantime, I am to park my vehicle outdoors away from other vehicles and structures. I called my local Kia dealership to inquire if they knew when the repair would be available and they did not even know of its existence. …”
