This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
Kia refuses to include my 1997 Sportage ex 4WD in recall for 1997 Kia Sportages ex 4WD. Recall 1cmp005 to replace the engine control module (ECM) has never been performed. Also not sure that recall 2cmp014 on wiring has been performed. My main concern and the refusal from Kia is on the ECM.
NHTSA campaign 99V325000; Kia issued an engine stalling recall. This vehicle was not included in the recall due to VIN. However, the engine stalled, and check engine light remained on.
This car is absolutely unsafe to drive; at any moment it may stall due to the faulty electrical system. I have had this car in for service numerous times and I have never gotten the problem resolved. I have simply had enough and would like some help.
This vehicle is garbage - both front window motors-replaced. Transmission replaced, and is now acting up again. Rear-end replaced, acting up, engine squeals, dealer can't hear it, burning anti-freeze smell upon warmup, temp gauge goes crazy, in 4WD vehicle does not want to turn, only wants to go straight, makings hard "clunking" noise if you attempt to turn. The Yugo was a better vehicle!
