Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“My right headlight stopped working, even after replacing bulb several times. The exterior paint is chipping from different areas. The middle seat seatbelts middle and behind driver keep getting stuck, they will not retract. My vehicle is only 4 years old it started with the headlight issue within 2 years. Now the seatbelts and paint, this vehicle has been a pain.”
NHTSA complaint #11748092, filed 2026-07“I was rear ended at a high rate of speed, causing me to fly down a 15 foot embankment, where I sideswiped a telephone pole. The latter causing damage to the passenger side front quarter panel. The airbag did not deploy after either impact, nor did the seatbelt stop me from hitting the steering wheel multiple times.”
NHTSA complaint #11634875, filed 2025-01“Driver’s (left front) Seatbelt Tongue is sometimes difficult to fully insert into the Seatbelt Buckle. Even worse, sometimes it appears to be inserted, but it is not fully engaged/locked. I’ve inspected buckle and there does not appear to be any debris. Fully pressing the release button on the buckle BEFORE inserting the tongue seems to alleviate the issue. Next time I bring car to dealer, I will have them inspect/diagnose/replace.”
NHTSA complaint #11469952, filed 2022-06“My wife must use a cushion or pillow to sit in the passenger seat. This causes the Passenger Occupancy Seat Sensor to fail. The seat does not recognize that she is there. The seat belt alert does not chime and the air bag is turned off. I have called KIA and they have no fix. I have talked to the dealer and they have no fix. I can not override the air bag and turn it on manually. We have tried multiple cushions and pillows. It does work without the cushion but this is not an option for her body. How can this be safe??”
NHTSA complaint #11710877, filed 2026-01“The contact owns a 2022 Kia Telluride.
