My car is only 3 years old 70k miles. . I have regularly serviced and never had any issues until all of a sudden I was driving I heard a sound and my hood started smoking. My car quickly came to a stop and wouldn’t turn back on. The engine block threw a rod and left a giant hole in my engine. Kia is refusing to repair and my insurance won’t cover saying this is an engine malfunction. Thank god I was able to get to safety, something like this is dangerous and not what I wanted when I bought a kia.
On 09/08/2022 my 2019 kia Rio was stolen due to a flaw in the ignition that allows thieves to easily start the vehicle with a phone charger. See baltimore city police report 5220902309. A national recall on the kia models affected would help to end the widespread danger that the thieves are causing as they 'joy-ride' the stolen vehicles. . Read more...
Unknown of specifics. I was driving up a hill. I heard a loud pop. I pulled off the side of the road. The battery light, oil light, and one other came on. I turned my car off. Tried to start it, again however it sounded like the starter wasn't working. Then smoke started to come out of the car. Within 10 minutes my entire car was consumed in flames. A bystander stated the same thing happened to someone she knows- same make & model of car. . . About two weeks prior. Police believe there was something faulty within the car.
The driver interior door latch will not fully retract. As a result it is nearly in the open position. With the door latch nearly in the open position, the door could unexpectedly open creating a safety hazard. Kia is unable to determine if this is covered by the warranty without paying a hefty diagnostic fee. There were no prior symptoms before this issue occurred.
No incident's with my vehicle, just need my recall to be complete before I ship my vehicle from la to hawaii.
The car VIN number is not recognized in any sites by kia. So how I can get any information on recalls or any other issue with my car??.
