“Car is giving codes C162604/ C164202 stating there is an issue with the electric stability control as well as lane keeping assistance. Emergency break lines came on (abs) as well. There was no incidents before this happened. This was a previous issue with the 2021 Kia Seltos that may have not been addressed properly while making the 2022. I am unsure if I am able to drive the vehicle safely to the dealership due to the stability control issue.”
NHTSA complaint #11478006, filed 2022-08“This is a problem that has occurred in several Kia models.

I have taken it to the Kia dealer twice and they repaired it one time and the problem continued. The second time no problem codes were shown in the OBD and they said there was nothing they could do. …”
