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.
No airbag in steering wheel, brakes goes down to floor, oxygen sensor bad in bank one, popping in tires. My frame can break from car at any time, dealer knew I had kids, we could get seriously hurt riding in this car.
The frame has almost completely rusted. The most unusual thing about this is that there is all most no rust on the body. Two of the motors on the windows don't work and the four wheel drive has gone out for the second time.
Tires became bald three months after I bought the car, brake pads and rotor needed replacing. The gas lever has been and is broke again. Hubs were replaced the first time, seals were replaced second time. The heat shield needs to be replaced right now. Passenger side window moves very slow. Timing belt replaced early. Brake light comes on whenever I applied the brakes. I went to an auto dealer and had them check out the brakes. They told me that the master brake cylinder was leaking badly.
Front driverside door won't open and all doors lock without warnings with slightest movement of car. Car failed first vt saftey inspection Nov. 00 because severe defect with wheel bearings - brakes pads and rotors replaced with adjustments neccesary to wheel bearing as very loose. Four wheel drive checked in November by Kia due to possible hub failure, found no problem. First time using 4wh dr, failed had to be towed to dealership (Dec 00) all 4wh dr equipment replaced.
Was driving along...stopped at a traffic light..engine light came on..kept flashing on and off.at this time I could smell something very hot and stinking..(not antifreeze)..I proceeded to pull the vehicle off the road barely had enough power to move it out of traffic...running very very rough at this time.
