I’m the owner of a 2025 kia Sportage phev and I’m experiencing a critical software bug: the car does not retain my custom driver assistance settings. Specifically, I have a bike rack installed on the rear hitch. I disable automatic rear emergency braking to avoid false stops when reversing, but the setting resets every time I turn off the vehicle. This leads to the car emergency braking unnecessarily — the car will suddenly brake when trying to reverse out of a parking space. This is not a dealer-specific issue — it’s affecting other 2025 Sportage models as well. I’d like to know: has kia acknowledged this issue or issued a technical service bulletin (TSB)? is a software update being developed to allow driver-assist settings to persist through vehicle restarts?.
