Example complaints

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

“As I was driving down the highway in the rain, my check engine light came on and I was unable to accelerate my vehicle over 30mph and the speedometer stopped working. I was turning onto the road I live on, so I was able to make it home. I then shut my car off and turned it back on about 5 minutes later, and that issue was no longer happening. I had an upcoming appointment for an oil change at a Kia dealership, so I told the dealership about the issue. …”

The other issue is with buttons on the steering column that either do not work or miscommunication. …”
