I delivered the car for repairs only to get a call 4 hours later that they cannot find the parts. it has now been 6 weeks since picking up my car and they cannot find the parts to do the recall repairs. all I have been able to do IS leave a message with jennifer xt 45960 at 800 333 4542 case # k3094095 KIA customer care to find out when I can safely put my kids in the backseat of the car.

All of the brake lights quit working at the same time. Done a search to see if there was any other problems like mine and found 3 other owners with the same problem. It has been in a mechanic shop for 2 weeks now and I have just got done talking with him this morning about it and he said that he has not been able to pin point the problem. I feel that this IS a safety issue that needs to be dealt with by KIA. *tr

Going out to dinner, about 1 mile away from home smell coming from car. Turned down a side street, smoke coming from heat/air adjustment area on dash. Stopped car, fire started coming out of the area where you adjust the heat/air. Before fire department could get there the entire car was on fire. This was a total loss. Thankfully we were able to get out of the car. I fear it would have been far worse if we had been on the express way at the time. *tr

I bought my 03 KIA rio in 04 and within a mo. Have had problems ever since. I took it to the dealership every month for the first 2YRS when it was still in warranty. There was always something constantly wrong or breaking. the tail pipe rattled extremely loud to the point of slightly shaking the car, randomly when I would came to a stop. It was so loud that people in other cars could hear it and stare. Of course the repair shops could never find the problem. I finally gave up ever having it fixed. I've paid 7 times to have the auto windows fixed but finally gave up because they would only work about two days before braking again. The car always had issues accelerating and would stain making noises shake a bit then after 10 seconds make a pop pop noise and finally start moving faster. Which again could never be fixed. The car also had horrible suspension. Every little pump made the car bounce and squeak loudly. Also could never be fixed. I think I've spent more time in the shop having the car repaired then I actually did driving it. Every time I blinked something else was broken I replaced almost ever piece of the car; battery twice, all four tires twice, head lights, etc those are just the small things I've also had the car completely brake down about 6 times with major repairs. Now my car IS completely dead 4/17/11 the timing belt snapped and destroyed the engine so I have to buy a new engine and timing belt all which cost more then the car itself the car only has 80,000 miles on it so that tells you how much I actually got to drive it in the last 8YRS. I made sure to constantly keep up on maintenance as well. I will never buy a KIA again its a weight of my shoulders to get rid of such a piece of [xxx]. Kias are made with such cheap materials and made so poorly that everything on them brakes and falls off. Please anyone reading this don't buy a KIA you will regret it. I just want to save someone else from a nightmare. information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(B)(6

My brake proportioning valve on my 2003 KIA rio cracked. my mechanic says it should never crack no matter the temperature climate etc. he says he has never seen a cracked one before and my car would have no signs that it was bad. I would go from perfect brakes to no brakes. that IS pretty much what happened. I was lucky and had just got gas and leaving the parking lot. the brakes went out while I driving slowly to the street. I had enough break to stop. my complaint IS not for me so much as someone else who may not have been so lucky. I fear for others. please check this out on further vehicles. *Tr

The company knew about the recall in 2006 according to the letter but didn't notify me until 2009, and I have a 7 yr old son who has been riding in my car with recalled seatbelts, this made me upset since that's the safety of my child.

2003 KIA rio door opening mechanism has failed twice. it was repaired in 2007. the mechanic who repaired the door said the design of the door opening system inside the door was not good quality and poorly engineered anticipating it might fail again. the driver's door opening devise IS totally disengaged and the passenger door has to be used to enter and exit the vehicle. when taken to KIA the dealer acknowledged it was a problem with this model but would cost $250 to $500 to fix this problem eventhough it was not the fault of the owner and had been a problem with several others. *Tr

The clutch in my 2003 KIA rio has failed/broken four times now. my father and I bought the vehicle brand new in march 2003 the first clutch failed around 8000 miles I believe, the second around 24000 miles, the third around 40000 miles, and now IS sitting in my garage unable to go into any gear; the car has less than 65000 miles on it. I have been driving stick shifts for 14+ yrs. And I know how to properly operate them, yet whenever I take the vehicle into the dealership I am told it IS driver error and charged at least $1000 in repairs. I have had at least three other mechanics look at it and have been told it IS a design/bad parts problem not driving error, however I don't want to jeopardize the warranty by having it repaired anywhere but the dealership. with the last repair (clutch #3) my father was allowed to speak to the dealerships mechanic after the car was pulled apart and caught the dealership in a lot of lies based on the total damage done to the clutch and surrounding parts. there was no way that much damage could have been done simply by driving the vehicle. they gave him some free parts and labor but the bill was still over $600 and the problem IS still there as evidenced by the vehicle not going into any gear now. I have read over 100 similar reports from other people who own the same make, model, and year as mine. KIA needs to be held responsible for this, not the customer. I have been lucky so far as to not have anyone injured, I drive my five year old daughter in that car, but I have been left stranded in several not nice neighborhoods because of the clutch failure and have had the clutch go out while in the middle of a busy intersection. the problem comes on suddenly with little to no warning of the clutch having problems and IS a severe safety hazard, not only to the people inside the vehicle but for the other people on the road. if this continues, someone will be severely injured or killed if it has not happened already. Please help. *Tr

This 2003 KIA rio was purchased used at a dealership a.v. KIA, palmdale, ca, , but soon developed problems with the transmission. Our insurance company replaced the transmission, citing problems which occurred due to our son, which were allegations made by a. V. KIA. Shortly after the car became inoperable and stopped on the freeway quite suddenly. No one was hurt, but our son and his passengers were rather shook up. Fixed one more time, while our son was driving the car when the left front axle fell off. This happened after a. V. KIA repaired the transmission. After being fixed once again with another new transmission, while my husband was driving the car immediately after picking it up from the dealership it once again developed transmission problems. The car stopped at a busy intersection in rosamond, ca. The car was fixed, (sensor problem, and soon taken to a car dealership in lancaster, ca. To be sold on consignment. While the sales representative was taking it out to show and attempt to sell the car again it stopped, this time on very busy sierra highway. The dealer called us to imform us of the problem with the car. A. V. KIA took the car in for repair once again, replacing the transmission!. with all of the transmission problems this car has had we found it extremely dangerous, not only to our family, but potentially to someone else. A. V. KIA continued to just pass the buck without really getting to the root of the problem. We didn't really know where to turn, but we felt that filing a complaint with the dot was a good start. A. V. KIA and KIA of america should be held totally responsible for the dangerous junk that they were selling and manufacturing.*ak

At 53,000 the vehicle became impossible to shift from one gear to another. Dealership technician advised it needed a new clutch at a cost of $1600.00. I have driven this vehicle primarily between detroit michigan and cary illinois. Eighty percent of the miles driven so far have been highway miles with little need to constantly shift gears. When the technicians looked at the vehicle he commented on how small the clutch was. I believe KIA has installed an inferior clutch system to keep the price of the vehicle down and then refuses to cover the repairs under warranty. *ak

Aug. 12, 2006 the harrell-swatty cos. 6 concourse parkway ne atlanta ga 30328-6117 dear mr. X: I am extremely disappointed in KIA at arbor place. I took my car in for warranty service in march because the brake light kept coming on. I brought it back three more times, but the problem has not been fixed. now that the car has more than 60,000 miles on it, the department would not work on it again unless I paid them. But they took it in to diagnose it again and did not tell me until I came to pick up the car that it would cost me $88 diagnostic charge to get it back. the brakes completely failed once. I was fortunate there was no accident. I keep adding brake fluid when the light comes on. Evidently there IS a leak in the brake system. the car IS unsafe. I want my $88 back, and I want the car fixed, at no cost to me. yy zz has not replied to my two previous letters. *nm
