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.
The "ESC off" light is constantly illuminated on the dash, and my mechanic could not turn it off. Sometimes, after emerging from a 90-degree turn (I.e., at an intersection), the car's brakes will suddenly engage on their own (and usually "pump"), rendering the accelerator inoperable and the brakes uncontrollable, while the "ESC off" light flashes on and off. This has lasted for as long as ten seconds, causing the vehicle to slow almost to a stop in traffic. I have searched online and found that I am not the only Kia owner to experience this.
