Seats Problems of Kia Motor Forte

My radio speakers will sound like there are blown. At a certain speed, I will break and the seat will move in the passenger side and sometimes in the driver side by itself.

On or about 6-6-2023 store employee tim creel was airing up the tire on the passenger side front of the vehicle. Tim used a kia air compressor which comes standard with a lot of today's kias instead of spare tire. The tire pressure reached 32 psi when tim unplugged the 12v connector. As he went to walk away he noticed flames coming from under the plug in spot. The vehicle proceeded to keep a fire going for several minutes as the other employee eddie pulled up and put it out with a fire extinguisher. The owner mark then advised a report be made. The d'iberville police and fire dept showed up. They issued a case number of 23-01640 by officer ipock. Please find attached photos kind regards timothy creel.

When I abruptly have to step on the brakes to stop the vehicle, the backseat behind the driver and the middle seat fall forward. This has happened multiple times.

1. Windshield wipers have been changed three time and when it rains they smear. Not one pair has ever cleaned right. 2. The tire pressure light came on and has stayed on kia wants $200. 00 to look into it. 3. The front seats vibrate ( don’t know about the back seats). A lot. I talk to a service man at kia cerritos and nothing was ever done or checked.

The 2010 kia was traveling on a rural state highway with at a speed that has not been determined yet. When coming over a hill the car leaves the right side of road way, the driver over corrects spinning the car, it travels 180-200�feet backwards, leaves the road way snd side impact a tree. My 14�year old was wearing a safety device at the time she was on the right passenger side which is where the impact occurred she was found . She was pronouned at the scene . She was found still in the safety device her bottom half was somewhat in the passenger compartment under the dash and her top half still buckled in was found over into the driver seat/floorboard. It is my understanding that there was a recall concerning the seatbelts on this particular VIN number the crash is still under investigation however I've been unable to obtain any information on whether her seatbelt actually locked as it should have as I stated she was still buckled in when I found her they cut the seatbelt off of her but I think that's just a standard practice I will be receiving crash reports however those are not finished yet.

Passenger side seat bottom has to be replaced for passenger side airbag to function properly. This was diagnosed by the dealer when airbag light came on and stayed illuminated. There has been no alteration of the seats or involvement in any situation that would cause damage, so it seems like a manufacturer defect. This requires a $1350 repair.

This is our 2nd 2014 kia Forte ex with navigation everything top of the line. . . Well the first one had a knock in the motor so the dealership "exchanged" it and this one the seat takes about 5 min to lock into place after you adjust it and you have to be driving for it to lock in. There is a knock when you turn the wheels and the dealership says kia is working to fix it & try not to drive it as much as you can. . . The fuel tank keeps leaking and needing to be replaced but there working on that too I'm sure. . . . Haha after our car being in the shop for 36 days I finally was called by kia and offered a settlement until they can fix the issues. . . The settlement was not easy the girl who called me was extremely rude and everything I had looked up about the laws she didn't know she had to keep either "googling" it or she went to ask her boss & then would come back OH your I guess right. . . Kia was doing good for awhile but sadly I think they are very close to having the buy 2 get 1 free sale again. . .

I was involved in a head-on collision in which I was only traveling 20 mph. Both the front driver airbag and the driver's side curtain airbag both deployed. After the accident, I realized that the seat behind me had unlatched and my son's booster car seat was thrown from its place. Needless to say, he wasn't buckled in; he was at school. Nevertheless, I think that this malfunction could have potentially seriously hurt my son. The car was deemed at total loss and I will not purchase this vehicle again.
