2007 Kia Spectra Electrical system Problems

“The door locks have gone haywire. They click on and off automatically whether you are driving or if the engine has been turned off. Had to break the lock on the driver's side in order to exit the car. Passenger side will not open as well even via using a key in the door lock. This is an extreme safety hazard! Contacted Kia a month ago, they never got back to me. I have seen on the internet where other Kia owners have the same problem.”

“On my 2007 Kia Spectra the blower motor has a field effects transistor, the transistor has malfunctioned and got so hot it has melted the plug and wiring to it. I have taken it in to Kia and they insist there is nothing wrong with it. After looking on the internet I have found that I'm not the only one that has this problem.”

“Reporting 3 issues: ***fuel system: in july 2009, one month after I purchased my used 2007 Kia Spectra (46k miles), the vehicle stalled at idle/low RPM while in traffic on an interstate highway. Once restarted, it continued to stall at every idle until a significant amount of fuel was consumed. Almost 5 years later, the problem is ongoing.

The keys were inside the car and it would have been a disaster had I not left the garage door open to get the spare key from home. When I reported this issue back in 2008 and 2011, Kia didn't have technicians and asked me to come back later. …”

“I was driving on the interstate about 65 MPH. All of sudden, the car lost all forward motion power. When I pressed the gas, the rpms increased, but the car did not get any power. The engine continued to run without problem. After stopping on the shoulder, I put the car in park and turned off the engine. After starting again, I put the car in drive, the forward power was working again and the car shifted fine. Transmission fluid was changed at 110,000 miles. Suspecting transmission, I took to a transmission specialist. …”
