So far there has not been any accidents caused by the cold start problem my car is having. The 2003 Kia Rio cinco has been in the shop numerous times for the same cold start problem. In the 1.5 years I have had the car I have nothing but problems with it. They have stated that the problem is fixed every time, however it continues.
