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 Kia has a system that controls cruise control in a special way. This system allows you to place the car it this mode and what it does beyond cruise control lane change control. It detects the highway speed limit signs example: I drive from prescott AZ to phoenix periodically. The speed limit on I -17 is 75 mph for most the trip heading South on I17 it is 75 mph at sunset point the speed changes from 75 mph to 65 mph. The car changes speed to 65 mph. It changes back to 75 mph later exciting times passing through rock springs. I am doing at 75 mph ( no one is in front of me they are in back and one to the left side. ). the car speed drops to 45 mph. The freeway speed is 75 mph. However, the side road in rock springs is 45 mph. So now I have 4 cars trying to avoid me because I suddenly going 45 mph in a 75 mph zone. Approaching anthem - the car suddenly drops to 35 mph in a 75 mph zone. No one was in front of me. But the speed limit on the side road next to the freeway is 35 mph. No one in front of me. I have cars around me honking and avoiding me - because I am driving 35 mph in a 75 mph freeway speed zone. This is dangerous. The dealer just says it is an option.

I was backing out of my driveway on a low volume county road. I was moving backwards and entered the roadway. I was fully across one lane when a vehicle in the opposite lane approached. As I was continuing backwards cutting the wheel to maneuver into the nearside lane, the auto braking engaged and my vehicle was disabled in the roadway for two or three seconds until the approaching vehicle in the opposite farside lane passed my now disabled vehicle in the roadway. I believe this to be a safety concern because there was a vehicle approaching in the nearside lane that I was attempting to enter and now I was disabled in the roadway as that car approached. My issue is that the approaching vehicle in the farside lane had room to maneuver around me, but I was now directly in the line of danger from the vehicle approaching in the nearside lane I was now disabled in. It scared me to be disabled in the road with a vehicle approaching. The brakes remained engaged and I couldn't do anything until my vehicle released the brakes. I was in greater danger from being hit by the car approaching in the nearside lane than I was entering than the vehicle in the opposite farside lane. The computer in my vehicle was wrong in applying the brakes and forced me into a dangerous position. The programming for rear assist braking needs to be evaluated for situations like the one that I was in. This is the third time I have been put in that situation by my vehicle and I think there is a safety problem with the programming for low speed backing conditions.
Only had our car10 days. 1st road trip and a rick popped up and hit the windshield. I have owned many cars and not had this happen. Within 10 mins of the sun. It spread across entire windshield. To have paid this much for a brand new car and heard that this has been an issue... it has got to be resolved. Completely so sickening.
Very small chip in windshield and within an hour before we could get it filled it ran from one side to the other. This seems to be a problem with all Tellurides.
