The doors will lock and won't unlock. This happened to the front passenger door when the car was less than a year old and they repaired it. The rear passenger door locked and it won't lock so I don't load items on that side but yesterday, July 5, 2022 I got locked in on my drivers side! I had to exit the vehicle by crawling over the stick shift to the front passenger side. I've seen hundreds of complaints about this and can't understand why there has not been a recall.

My airbag light will not go off for my passenger side!!! I think it is absolutely ridiculous that my car is not included in the recall because it definitely should be! What everybody says about the 2005 to the 2008 Kia Rios and the 2001 to 2008 Kia Rios is the same thing that is happening with my Kia Rio which is a 2009... Can y please add my vehicle too??? Also in the latest class action lawsuit it talks about the passenger seat pad sensor being broken and that's what breaks the passenger airbag so how in the world is my car not included in this?

MY COILS KEEP GOING OUT AFTER REPLACING ALL 4. I'VE REPLACED THE COMPLETE FUEL PUMP BUT EVERYTIME I FUEL UP MY CAR IT HESITATES TO START WHICH IS WHY I REPLACED THE PUMP TO BEGIN WITH.

REPLACED IGNITION COILS 1 AND 3 AT THE END OF 2018. COIL 1 HAD TO BE REPLACED AGAIN IN JANUARY 2019. COILS 2 AND 4 WERE BOTH REPLACED ALONG WITH ALL SPARK PLUGS FEBRUARY 2018. IN JULY 2019 COIL 2 STARTED TO FAIL AGAIN AND NOW IN AUGUST 2019 COIL 4 IS MISFIRING AS WELL. THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM THAT I SEE MANY REGULAR POSTS REGARDING THE SHORT LIFE SPAN OF THE IGNITION COILS FOR THIS CAR. THERE IS OBVIOUSLY AND ELECTRICAL ISSUE IF NOT SOMETHING ELSE IS OBVIOUSLY WRONG. WITH SO MANY COMPLAINTS THERE SHOULD BE AN INVESTIGATION AT LEAST AT THIS POINT AS TO WHY THE COILS FAIL SO QUICKLY IN THIS TYPE OF CAR. MULTIPLE ISSUES OF THE CAR NOT WANTING TO START, SHUTTING OFF WHILE IDLING AND I HAVE EVEN HAD AN INCIDENT ON THE HIGHWAY WHERE IT COMPLETELY FAILED AND I WAS LUCKY ENOUGH TO GET OFF THE HIGHWAY SAFELY .

INSIDE DOOR HANDLES. VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY. THE CHROME PAINT USED ON THE INSIDE DOOR HANDLES CRACKS FORMING RAZOR SHARP EDGES THAT HAS SLICED MY HANDS DEEP WHILE OPENING DOORS TWICE. I HAVE CALLED TO REPORT THIS AWHILE BACK AND WAS TOLD IT WOULD BE SENT TO HIGHER. HAVE NOT HEARD ANY RESPONSE TO THIS DAY. I HAVE HAD TO PUT ELECTRICAL TAPE AROUND ALL DOOR HANDLES TO PREVENT BEING CUT WHILE OPENING DOORS. I HAVE READ ON KIA FORUMS WHERE OTHERS HAVE HAD THIS SAME PROBLEM. MY QUESTION IS, WHAT ARE YOU (KIA MOTORS) GOING TO DO ABOUT THIS PROBLEM? MY CONCERN IS THAT A CHILD WILL IF NOT ALREADY, BE CUT BAD BY THIS. IT COULD BE BAD ENOUGH TO REQUIRE STITCHES AS THIS IS A RAZOR SHARP EDGE WE ARE TALKING ABOUT. THIS SHOULD BE PUT ON A SAFETY ISSUE RECALL AND FIXED BY KIA MOTORS JUST SAYING. AT LEAST USE SOMETHING DIFFERENT ON FUTURE VEHICLES.

AT 39,000 MILES MY CAR STARTED LURCHING AND HAD NO POWER. GOT IT TO A MECHANIC IMMEDIATELY, AND SPARK PLUGS AND COIL #1 HAD TO BE REPLACED. I JUST GOT TO 67,000 MILES, EMISSIONS CONTROL LIGHT AGAIN CAME ON, CAR HAD LOSS OF POWER AND SHAKING. AGAIN GOT TO MECHANIC IMMEDIATELY, AGAIN #1 COIL AND #2 COILS HAD TO BE REPLACED. SEEMS TO BE AN UNDERLYING ELECTRICAL PROBLEM THAT THE MANUFACTURER HAS NOT ADDRESSED. CAN THIS PROBLEM BE PERMANENTLY FIXED? WILL A KIA DEALERSHIP BE ABLE TO FIX IT EVEN THOUGH THERE SEEMS TO BE NO RECALL.

PART AFFECTED:-DOOR: THE REAR PASSENGER DOOR WILL NOT UNLOCK, MANUALLY NOR BY KEY-FOB, THEREFORE I'M REDUCED TO USING THREE DOORS ON A FOUR DOOR CAR. *THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THIS MALFUNCTION HAS HAPPENED. THE FIRST TIME, IT WAS THE PASSENGER FRONT DOOR. ALL-STAR KIA OF BATON ROUGE REPAIRED IT BECAUSE THE CAR WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY HOWEVER, NOW THAT THE CAR IS PAID FOR AND NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY THEY WANT TO CHARGE A $100.00 DIAGNOSTIC TO SEE WHAT THE PROBLEM MIGHT BE BECAUSE THEY DON'T KNOW.
