Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“I no longer have the car, so I cannot provide the VIN number at this time. (I can get it, with some work involved). I have pictures of the car after the crash. I live in rural iowa. Deer start their rut in october. I swerved to miss a deer, on a two lane road. Went down a 40 foot ditch, nose first. Because the bottom of the ditch was a gully, the front of the roof, the hood, the front lights, etc. Were all destroyed. Not one of their airbags deployed. They are not a part of the news round of airbags, but I want this on record. …”
NHTSA complaint #10721068, filed 2015-05, 76,500 miles“We own a 2007 Spectra with 13,000 miles, bought new in july 2007. We attempted to use the air conditioner june 2009 and it blew hot air. When taken to the dealer we were told, the screws and bolts which holds the A/C hose on had come loose from hitting bumps because that's what happens when you drive , so the freon leaked out. They refused to fix it under warranty because, even though it is a problem with Kia's they didn't have to replace any parts . I contacted the Kia customer service toll free number who stood by the dealer and dismissed my concern. …”
