I was driving down the highway when I kinda noticed speed changed. Abs lights, foreword collision light, and rear end lights, so I turned around went back home. I rarely drive my car and I never had any problems with it. I purshased it brand new.
On March 2022 forward collision warning system, blind spot warning system, abs braking system and other systems associated with a bad passenger rear wheel sensor not working. On March 17, 2022 rear passenger wheel sensor repaired under warranty by local kia dealer. In September 2023 same issue with the above warning systems occurs with only another 2,000 miles on car after previous repair. Local kia dealer states both rear wheel sensors need to be replaced. Kia dealer states vehicle is no longer under warranty and will cost in excess of $800 to repair. After checking similar complaints online, I believe there is an inherit defect with this type of vehicle's wheel sensors and a recall is needed to enforce kia to stand by their product and ensure the safety of the vehicle and their customers.
