Example complaints

“We have a 2025 KIA Telluride and in the second row seats the right hand seat receiver you have to grab it and hold it up tight to insert the seat belt. You have to be strong to do this. We went to Billion KIA in Rapid City SD toi get it fixed and they can't fix it. So they called KIA Corp and KIA said it is not a design flaw and they won't fix it. Someone could get hurt or killed in an accident. Thank you for any help.”

NHTSA complaint #11663776, filed 2025-05

“My stepson became entangled in the left/driver-side third-row seat belt of my 2025 Kia Telluride. The seat belt webbing became wrapped/tangled around him and the seat belt retractor entered a locked condition. We were unable to create sufficient slack or otherwise release him from the restraint. The situation became a life-threatening child-entrapment emergency. Emergency services were called and responders ultimately had to CUT THE FACTORY SEAT BELT WEBBING to free the child. My safety concern is not simply that a child became tangled in a seat belt. …”
