TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 KIA RIO. THE CONTACT WAS INVOLVED IN A HEAD-ON CRASH WHILE DRIVING 25 MPH. THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED MAJOR INJURIES WHILE WEARING HIS SEAT BELT. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. NO OTHER VEHICLE INFORMATION WAS AVAILABLE.
DURING A FRONTAL-IMPACT ACCIDENT, THE DRIVER AIRBAG FAILED TO DEPLOY UNTIL AFTER I HIT THE STEERING WHEEL. I THEN SAW THE PASSENGER AIRBAG DEPLOY. NEITHER THE SEAT BELT NOR THE AIRBAG STOPPED ME FROM HITTING THE STEERING WHEEL CAUSING CHEST WALL CONTUSIONS AND MUSCLE STRAINS IN CHEST AND BACK. I'M STILL OUT OF WORK DUE TO THE INJURIES. THE CAR WAS TOTALED.*AK
THE CAR CAUGHT ON FIRE, KIA SAYS THEY SENT A NOTIFICATION TO THE ORIGINAL OWNER, YEARS AGO. WE FEEL THAT WE WERE ENTITLED TO A RECALL NOTICE BEFORE THE CAR BURNED DOWN. WE FEEL THIS IS NOT A SMALL RECALL, IT WAS A FIRE, A FIRE IS VERY DANGEROUS AND CAN BURN AND KILL PEOPLE. WE HAD 22 KIAS RIOS IN OUR FLEET AND NEVER RECEIVED RECALL NOTICES ON ANY OF THEM. KIA DID SEND NOTICES TO THE ORIGINAL OWNER HOWEVER THEY HAD THE INFORMATION AS TO WHICH CARS RECEIVED THE RECOMMENDED REPAIRS AND WHICH CARS NEVER CAME IN, THERE NEEDS TO BE SOME FOLLOW UP. *TR
OUR CAR CAUGHT ON FIRE. KIA SAYS THAT RECALL NOTICES WERE SENT OUT TO THE PREVIOUS OWNER TO TAKE THE CAR TO A KIA DEALER FOR REPAIRS. NOTICE WAS SENT OUT YEARS AGO (2002). KIA KNEW THAT THE REPAIRS WERE NEVER DONE BECAUSE NO DEALERSHIP HAD BILLED KIA FOR REPAIRS. FOR NINE (9) YEARS THIS CAR WAS ON THE ROAD WITHOUT A SAFETY RECALL BEING PERFORMED FOR FIRE. FOR NINE YEARS WE REGISTERED THIS CAR AND KIA MADE NO ATTEMPT TO FIND OUT WHO OWNS THE VEHICLE. KIA IS BEING VERY UNETHICAL BECAUSE THEY SAY THAT A NOTICE WAS SENT OUT (ONE NOTICE) AND NOW THEY HAVE DONE THEIR OBLIGATION. *TR
THE CAR WAS IN AN ACCIDENT AND THE AIR BAGS NEVER DEPLOYED ON THE DRIVER SIDE OR THE PASSENGER SIDE. NOTHING WAS DONE TO FIX IT .THE CAR NOW HAS TO HAVE THE WHOLE FRONT END FIXED AND NEED TO HAVE THEM CHECKED TO SEE WHY THEY DIDN'T DEPLOY. *TR
DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED AND THE BRAKES DID NOT RESPOND. THE VEHICLE STOPPED WHEN HITTING ANOTHER VEHICLE. THERE WAS A POLICE REPORT TAKEN AT THE SCENE. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE IT WAS DETERMINED THE CALIPERS WERE BLOWN OUT.
DT: WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT 55-60 MPH THE STEERING WENT OUT. THE CAR WAS MOVING ON ITS OWN ACCORD FROM ONE SIDE OF THE LANE TO THE OTHER, AND STEERING BECAME UNRESPONSIVE. PUMPING THE BRAKES MADE THE REACTION WORSE. THE VEHICLE WAS STRUCK ON THE PASSENGER'S SIDE , SLOWING THE CAR,AND STEERING ENGAGED AGAIN. PULLED THE CAR OVER TO THE LEFT SHOULDER OF THE HIGHWAY.*AK
I bought this car used a little less than a week ago. There was a thumping noise under the hood so I took the car to the dealer twice for this issue. I looked under the hood tonight and found a bunch of pieces that are not bolted down and the battery is completely unsecured and can move around freely. It’s horribly unsafe because the battery being loose can affect the entire car and the parts that aren’t bolted in place are causing major issues with the AC and other systems.
MY WIFE GOT LOCKED IN HER CAR IN THE GARAGE AT HOME. THERE IS A SPRING ON THE DOOR LATCH THAT HOLDS UP A LEVER, THAT BROKE, CAUSING THE LEVER TO DROP AND JAM THE LOCK LEVER. WHEN SHE TRIED TO UNLOCK HER DOOR IT WOULD NOT RELEASE AND THE AUTO LOCK FUNCTION KEPT THE OTHER DOORS LOCKED TOO. WE WERE ABLE TO USE MY KEY TO QUICKLY UNLOCK AND OPEN THE PASSENGER SIDE DOOR AND GET OUT BY CRAWLING OVER THE CENTER CONSOLE. A SIMPLE GOOGLE SEARCH FOUND A FEW THOUSAND ENTRIES SHOWING THIS SAME ISSUE WITH OTHER KIA RIOS AND OPTIMAS WHERE PEOPLE ARE GETTING STUCK IN THEIR CARS.
TAKATA RECALL 2004 KIA RIO LOCKS IN CAR BROKEN UNABLE TO UNLOCK AND GET OUT THE CAR I DON'T KNOW IF THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE LOCKING SYSTEM AND IT HAS BECOME A MAJOR PROBLEM
DRIVER SIDE DOOR LOCK DOES NOT ALWAYS WORK. WHEN LOCKED FROM INSIDE THE CAR YOU HAVE TO CRAWL OUT THE PASSENGER SIDE AND GO AROUND TO DRIVER DOOR, PUT THE KEY IN THE LOCK AND WIGGLE THE INSIDE DOOR LOCK LEVER. SOMETIMES IT TAKES MINUTES TO GET IT TO UNLOCK. IF YOU WERE TO HAVE TO EXIT THE VEHICLE QUICKLY IT WOULD NOT BE POSSIBLE. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIME IN THIS CAR.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 KIA RIO. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THERE WAS AN ABNORMAL NOISE UNDERNEATH THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO MULTIPLE INDEPENDENT MECHANICS AND A DEALER ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE WHEEL BEARING NEEDED TO REPLACED. THE WHEEL BEARING WAS REPLACED MULTIPLE TIMES; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.
THE KIA WAS UNDER WARRANTY AT THIS TIME: IT REQUIRED A NEW TRANSMISSION. I WAS TOLD IT WAS ABOUT TO 'DROP'. DESPITE BEING UNDER WARRANTY, I WAS MADE TO PAY FOR IT. 2007 THE PASSENGER REAR DOOR STOPPED WORKING AND WOULD NOT OPEN. IN 2008 THE ELECTRICAL WENT. NO INTERIOR LIGHTS, RADIO AND NO 'DOOR AJAR' WARNING. 2008 THE DOOR BEHIND DRIVER WOULD NOT OPEN. 2013 THE DRIVER DOOR WOULD NOT OPEN FOLLOWED BY THE HATCHBACK. RIGHT NOW ONLY 2 DOORS ARE ABLE TO BE LOCKED DUE TO THIS ISSUE. A NEW CLUTCH WAS PUT IN DURING 2012. THE SHIFTING HAS ALWAYS BEEN A LITTLE STICKY WITH IRREGULAR TIMING. I PURCHASED THIS CAR BRAND NEW AND CANNOT BELIEVE THE SAFETY ISSUES CONCERNING THE DOORS, ABOVE ALL. I CANNOT BELIEVE THAT I BOUGHT THE ONLY 'LEMON'..OR AM AMONG A FEW KIA RIO CINCO OWNERS FACING THESE PROBLEMS.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 KIA RIO. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH, THE WHEEL BEARING AND THE HUB FROM BOTH REAR WHEELS DETACHED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE WHEEL BEARINGS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE REAR TIRE BEARINGS WERE PREVIOUSLY REPLACED MULTIPLE TIMES. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 163,000.
OK, MY CAR MAKES A THUMPING NOISE UNDER THE TIRE, THOUGHT WAS THE WHEEL BEARING IT'S NOT SOMEONE SAID IT WAS THE AXLE I DON'T KNOW ALSO, THE ENGINE LIGHT HAS BEEN ON I CHANGED THE AIR FILTER, I READ THAT SOMEONE ELSE HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE FILTER, I READ THAT THE AXLE RUSTS OUT, I THINK THIS CAR SHOULD BE RECALLED PEOPLE ARE COMPLAINING ABOUT THE SAME PROBLEMS AND KIA SHOULD FIX IT FOR FREE, I DON'T THINK I SHOULD PAY FOR THAT THE CAR DOESN'T GET DRIVEN THAT MUCH AND I CAN'T GO FAR PLACES WITH IT IN FEAR THAT IT MIGHT BREAK DOWN SOMEWHERE, I FEEL LIKE SUING KIA FOR MAKING A CRAPPY CAT THAT DOESN'T LAST. I'VE NEVER HAD A CAR LIKE THIS BEFORE, THE DOORS ARE BROKEN EVEN THE HATCH WON'T OPEN ANYMORE, WHAT THE [XXX].

Due to an internal leak of brake fluid, a short circuit can occur in the electrical circuit for the ABS/ESC (Anti-lock Braking System / Electronic Stability Control) system. This can lead to an increase in current and overheating in the fuse box, increasing the risk of the engine catching fire. The product does not comply with the Regulation on the approval and market surveillance of motor vehicles and their trailers, and of systems, components and separate technical units intended for such vehicles.
Due to a brake fluid leak, an electrical short circuit can occur during vehicle operation. This can cause an electrical overload in the ABS module, leading the Hydraulic Electronic Control Unit (HECU), to remain live even when the vehicle is switched off. If moisture enters the HECU, an electrical short circuit can occur. This could result in an engine compartment fire. The product does not comply with the Regulation on the approval and market surveillance of motor vehicles and their trailers, and of systems, components and separate technical units intended for such vehicles.
