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.
My family and I were driving down a busy highway at speed in the middle lane, the vehicle suddenly jolted forward and lost power. Dashboard reported electrical system failure, contact service. Vehicle was recovered to dealer who has been unable to resolve issue and KIA unable to diagnose the root cause of the problem. Very dangerous.
The vehicle unexpectedly accelerates in multiple situations, all related to -??iDrive-?? (one pedal driving), either failing to engage, or unexpectedly disengaging. It almost hit something while parking, and it started accelerating into oncoming traffic from a stop sign. I-??ve driven the car for 60 miles. I suspect there are other similar scenarios that I haven-??t discovered. Steps to reproduce grouped by scenario: 1. Engage iDrive with the left steering wheel paddle. Remove foot from brake. Car does not move. Switch to R then D. Remove foot from brake. Car accelerates. 2. Engage iDrive. Turn off car. Turn it back on. Shift to D. Car accelerates. 3. Press paddle to engage iDrive, and bring vehicle to a stop. Remove foot from pedal. Sometimes it stays stopped. Sometimes it beeps instead of engaging iDrive, then accelerates later. Expected behavior: After engaging one pedal driving with the left steering wheel paddle, the vehicle should never accelerate from a stop unless the gas pedal has been pressed. The driver should have to press the right steering wheel paddle to disengage it. The left paddle should reliably engage one pedal mode.
