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?

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.

Vehicle was involved in a collision 7/7/2017. It rear-ended a 2014 volkswagen beetle at approximately 35 mph. The vehicle will likely be totaled due to extensive damage to the front end. Per photos, front fascia was destroyed, damage extended into the engine compartment, and the engine will no longer start nor run. However, the srs airbag located in the steering wheel (per photo) never deployed. Thankfully, driver (our son) was, as always, wearing his seatbelt and sustained no injuries.

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.

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.

I was sitting in a parking lot with a friend, when I noticed that my air bag indicator had come on. As I drove away to come ask my father what it meant, the passenger air bag light would repeatedly flash on and off, with her sitting straight in the seat like a normal person. Ever since than the air bag indicator has stayed on and won't go off. As well at the flashing passenger air bag light. I had went online to check for any recalls and it had stated that 2006-2008 had a recall on "air bag cracking". We read up on it and it IS the same thing that IS wrong with my car. And I'm not the only one that has this problem. Please make it known to KIA that this problem IS still ongoing in 2009 models. This should be considered under recall so no further accidents will occur. *tr

Airbag warning light intermittently going on and off for several days. Brought it to mechanic, they cleaned the wires and plugged everything back in, light went off. The next day the warning light came back on, now constantly on. Able to bring it back to mechanic at a later date and it was diagnosed as passenger lower seat air bag sensor failed and needs to be replaced (code b1448). This IS the same issue that was recalled in KIA rios from 2006-2008. The recall took place in 2012, so the company should have recalled the part for all years up until the recall took place. This IS a safety issue that should be addressed immediately by KIA. *tr

We purchased the above car in may 2014 from a toyota dealer in vancouver wa. after awhile, I as passenger got to looking at an off sign which was on all the time. looked further to see the words passenger air bag off. which I assume means in an accident I would not have protection. After 4 trips to hannah KIA in our area, they handed me a KIA technical service bulleting dated feb.2008 instructing dealers to train the passenger in how to sit on the seat in order to activate the sensor. Which leads me to believe they have known all along a problem exists. I weigh 154# but my weight does not activate the sensor. using a small 12"x12" pillow I can get it to work sometimes.. This IS unacceptble. I would like to know if your receive and act on this. I am going to contact my congressional representative also. *tr
