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 2003 Kia Sorento kept losing antifreeze and to find out the reservoir had a crack in it. Also, after I purchase Bridgestone fire destination tires a year later they were worn after spending $600 I had to have two of them replaced within a year. P245/70R16. Also 2 defects recalls when my car was put in the shop one from 2007 SC073 and SC072 when my check engine light came on. It was still on after the car was supposedly fixed by quirk Kia in braintree. When I was driving out of the parking lot the check engine light was still on. I was told the car was fine and it was just a sensor and to fix it the cost would be over $200. A year later, I brought it to get a sticker, they rejected my for another recall that should have been fixed when I brought it in last year. The recall was from 2005. Now I am trying to contact the dealership because of the inconvenience of me going to get this fixed when it should have been taken care of last year. I will never buy a Kia again, the dealership does not care about their cars or customers.
I am the attorney for three minor children. They were seriously injured, and their father was killed in a rollover in las vegas, Nevada in February, 2006. The rear B.F. goodrich tire on the 2003 Kia Sorento that the father was driving blew out and separated, resulting in the rollover. The tire was apparently plugged the day before at a las vegas tire shop.
