Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“The window trim on all four of my windows has come or is coming apart. There is a hazard to having these items fly off my car. I went into Kia reported the issue and they stated the parts are in back order. The existing trim has been taped down as this can impact other vehicles on the road. I am supposed to get a call with the parts like many others on this forum and have heard nothing back. FYI it’s not just the plastic of the trim that has come loose but the whole trim panel under the windows.”
NHTSA complaint #11637236, filed 2025-01“See attached document for complaint. My trim is falling off my kia. I called Kia pursuant to the enclosed recall and I was told there is no remedy yet. Are you kidding. Glue! This is not rocket science. I went to my Kia dealer and they merely stuck the trim back on and it flaps in the wind. Very dangerous! Must someone be killed by the debris? Also the value of the vehicle for resale plummets. It looks terrible with rubber exposed and rubber is falling off. Do something or sue Kia as a class action for refund on all vehicles affected.”
NHTSA complaint #11714443, filed 2026-01“I have trim pieces around side windows falling off my new vehicle or in process of falling off my vehicle. This seems to be possible safety hazard to other vehicles on the road.”
NHTSA complaint #11627914, filed 2024-11“This vehicle only has 31,000 miles on it and I've already had one door trim molding replaced. (now the rest of the trim doesn't match so that's great for aesthetics) The interior door panel replaced because it was loose. This car developed a thumping noise around 25K miles when turning at low speeds. Took it to the dealer, told them it is probably the AWD coupler, and they said the self-leveling rear shocks were leaking. So those got replaced. Thumping was still there. I mentioned to the dealer that it is probably still the AWD coupler. …”
NHTSA complaint #11693342, filed 2025-10“We were driving on interstate at 70 mph. It was sunny and 45 degrees outside. Suddenly with no warning, our front sunroof glass exploded. The bang was so loud that my ear was ringing hours after. Fortunately no car was following closely so no other vehicle was hit with flying debris. Also, our interior visor was closed so we were not struck by any of the flying glass. We pulled off and removed any loose glass that could fly off and proceeded to the dealership. They were submitting warranty information, etc. and provided a rental while we await the repairs. …”
