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.
During emergency braking the car skids like the anti-lock brakes are not working. This has resulted in the car going into a sideways skid. I encountered this numerous times in slightly wet/slick road conditions when panic braking from ~35 mph.
New Kia niro rolls back on inclines in drive after removing foot off of break and right before pushing the accelerator pedal in stop and go traffic, on paved, city streets. Never had this with other automatics. New Kia niro jumps forward/accelerates sharply while in drive while driving slowly (1-3 miles per hour) up an incline. This occurres on paved, city streets.
Warning lights came on indicating an issue with the regenerative braking system. Further inspection found the right rear flexible brake line loose where it attaches to the hard line. I tightened the fitting added approximately 6oz of brake fluid to the reservoir and leak checked the system under pressure. I would consider this to be a serious quality assurance factory escape which could have created an extremely dangerous situation.
