Read full complaintPrise en charge - Problème de fiabilité
J’ai acheté un Kia Sorento 2018 V6 3.3 certifié en 2022, avec 75 000 km, après avoir été rassuré sur la fiabilité du véhicule, présenté comme pouvant atteindre facilement 250 000 km. Or, à seulement 153 000 km, le moteur a subi une casse majeure. Le véhicule est aujourd’hui inutilisable alors que je continue à payer le crédit. Le diagnostic est flou et les réparations sont estimées entre 6 000 $ et 10 000 $, sans aucune garantie de résultat.
Malgré le discours constant de Kia sur la fiabilité de ses véhicules, Kia Canada refuse d’assumer ses responsabilités. Le service est lamentable. Cette expérience est une profonde déception. Les véhicules Kia ne sont pas fiables : ne leur faites pas confiance. C’est l’erreur de ma vie.
Claimed loss: 8 000$
Desired outcome: Dossier : C25790860Je demande que Kia prenne en charge la réparation de mon véhicule et assume ses responsabilités face aux engagements répétés qu’elle fait sur la fiabilité de ses moteurs.

Now my tags have expired because the u-drive it fee or some other tax hasn't been paid. I've spoken to the clerk's office, Hyundai, kia title area and there's a issue with Hyundai.

I have a peeling paint issue as well. Fortunately not too widespread (yet). The affected areas seem to be limited to the hood only. Hopefully it will not get worse. The paint color (Snow White Pearl) apparently has been discontinued due to the numerous complaints already filed. I have already filed a complaint with NHTSA on 11-22-25. I found 5 other NHTSA...

I’m posting this because I have now made three separate attempts to schedule an oil consumption test for my 2021 Kia Sportage (90,800 miles), and I still have not been able to move forward.

I recently bought a NEW KIA Sportage Hybrid on 9/26 from Value KIA Philadelphia On the ride home from the dealer, the check engine light came on and I had to return to have a MAP sensor replaced.

A few weeks ago during a rain storm, the SNOW WHITE paint on my 2020 kia started to bubble. After the rain stopped it went away. Then a week later it rained again. We had some wind with this storm and it popped the bubble. Ever since the paint has been peeling off in sheets. There is no dent on my car. This did not come from rock chips or anything I have...
Paint chipping on hood and mirrors, rest of car needs fully inspected. Car is at Kia of Bend Body & Paint
Was taken to body shop for repair of paint chipping on front fenders. Paint was bubbling and not sticking to car. SItting in the hot sun, this car is popping the paint off the hood. It has also popped the paint off the mirrors. There are no rock chips on the front nose, only on the hood and the mirrors. The car has just over 10,000 miles with the majority of those miles being driven in town not on highways. It does not rain rocks, it is obvious it is a defective paint issue which we are trying to get resolved at the body shop now. We have also had excessive amounts of water staining, even though car has been sealed than waxed multiple times.
Desired outcome: Have the car repainted. Love the car, may have to work out a few small problems, but car is awesome. Just want the issues fixed at no cost to us.

Personal import vehicle - KIA NIRO 2019
Greetings,
I am kindly writing to seek for assistance in regard to my vehicle. This vehicle was imported from UK by my late parents in 2019. There seem to be an issue with the hybrid system. A warning sign recently appeared: "check hybrid system, turn off engine". I cannot drive the vehicle as it does not move with the speed. KIA based in Fiji is not able to help me because this was imported by my late parents in 2019 and also they do not have the tool to diagnose the problem. I need help as I need this issue to be fixed. Kindly seeking your advice and assistance in this matter.
The Chassis/VIN number is KNACC81CVK5230187
Engine number is G4LEJS403316
Thanks

Read full complaintVehicle returned from service with broken part and dirty.
Had warning indicators for high beams malfunction on 2020 Sportage bought new March 2020 and has 32,000 miles. Took vehicle to Kia Wilmington. Was originally told the battery needed to be replaced. Agreed to battery replacement. Got another call where service person asked if my husband was sitting down. Proceeded to tell him the front camera needed replacement and would cost $2,100.00. Husband asked if it was under warranty and told the warranty expired 1 month ago. My husband asked how the camera could have broken and was told probably by getting hit. Due to location of the camera, it makes no sense that it could have been hit. Car hasn’t had any accidents. When car was returned, it was obvious the service person had removed the front camera cover and tried using glue to re-attach it. In addition, there was greasy finger prints from where the hood was lifted to change the battery. Now, the sun has softened the glue and the camera cover is half off. Not really sure why a camera would go bad after only 32,000 miles and not happy my car was returned in the condition it was. In addition, the mechanic hinted that we may have to purchase a new vehicle before it was up for inspection next year because of the warning lights. He did then realize it wasn’t a check engine light and said it probably wouldn’t be a problem. Unfortunately, my husband didn’t notice the issue with the camera cover when he picked the vehicle up because it was broken on the passenger side. I’ve added a photo where you can see where the mechanic tried to glue the camera cover back onto my windshield. I didn’t take pictures of the grease on hood of car, just cleaned it off.
Desired outcome: I would appreciate a response.
