Last Tuesday, August 16, I parked in the driveway at around 8 pm. After about 2 hours I heard car alarm. I looked out window and saw flames engulfing rear of vehicle. Called 911. Firefighters extinguished flames. Fire crew stated fire was likely electrical and started near tow hitch receptacle. Tow hitch was installed by kia dealer weeks after I bought car; they told me it was an oem hitch. I'd never used the hitch until the day of the fire. That afternoon I bought a kuuat bicycle rack with lights. Bike store installed the rack and plugged it into the hitch receptacle. I did errands for several hours with nothing appearing amiss. Then parked, and fire started hours later. No injuries and no other damage. Looks like total loss, but state farm hasn't confirmed yet.
Smell something burning like electric.
My vehicle has only 8,672 miles and the vehicle brake rotors are warped and shake violently from normal driving. I seen other complaints online with the same issue saying the vehicle has a undersized brake system that produces a lot of heat. Also I have had a issue where I would be coming to a stop slowly and the brake pedal feels like it grinds or makes a crunch noise, also I have had twice where I get a message on my dashboard saying “check esc” I’ve called dealer and they told me I can drop off vehicle to get it looked at but if the warning lights or messages don’t stay on then for me to come back when they are on constantly.
Windshield cracked by a tiny pebble. The main windhsield of my 2022 hybrid cracked while driving in the freeway. Its been less than a month since I bought the car and windshield cracked. I wasnt around any car at the time, it was late night and I saw the chip it made to my windshield. . A couple minutes later the crack spread out to 4 inches long. The windshield is not strong enougha nd causes a danger.
