My engine caught on fire ...the fire was started near or around the fuel rail/ or injectors. I researched KIA recalls and other years and other models of kia's were part of a similar risk. I feel that this was a huge safety risk....luckily my car engine caught fire very close to my home, and I was able to pull in my driveway and call the fire dept. I was injured in this event....but the burn was minor. I am most concerned with KIA acknowledging the huge safety risk....and the loss that I and others could experience with this safety issue. my vehicle was in great shape before this engine fire.

2/26/18 replaced exhaust at firestone. 4/18 car making noise both front and back, felt like something was about to fall out; shaking through the floor boards. Taken to andy's service where he found engine cradle rusted. New part would cost $500.00 plus labor. called south hills KIA service and dropped car off on 4/26/18 to establish cost of repair/new vehicle. service manager matt gave me # for KIA consumer 800-333-4542. Eric took info and case #12707877 and escalated to regional office. on 5/1/18 received call from bruce 520-770-4888 and said according to district manager, car surpassed 60,000 mile warranty. s.h. KIA to write estimate as to repair cost. Also found left coil spring broken $251.99 cost of repair. told him I was waiting to hear from regional office about cradle before I would consider fixing anything. bruce also said that he could not give me a written refusal to cover engine cradle, and that KIA dealership would provide that information. spoke with matt on 5/2/18 about this refusal and he did not seem to be able to come forth with such. notified nhtsa/nakila who took my information and told me to call pa attorney generals office and provide information to them. called s.h. KIA and left voice mail message with matt regarding 2012 recall #12v014000 airbag clock spring assembly and to verify it had been done and if not to complete fix. s.h. KIA did take photo of underside of car to submit to KIA regional and I will forward this on to you. the noise on this current problem was noticed more when driving, turning, on regular street than while idling. in my estimation this vehicle IS not safe to drive for fear parts may come loose while driving and cause serious accident not only to myself but to other drivers that may be behind me.

I was driving down the freeway at 70 mph when my check engine light illuminated and I immediately lost speed control. My speed began a quick decent to 25 mph. The car would not pick up at all. I made it to the side of the road and turned off the car. I called my husband, he asked a bunch of questions and had me restart the car. The check engine light was still on, but the car accelerated normally so I headed toward home. It happened again. I pulled over, waited and restarted the car. My husband had me go to the auto parts store to have the code read. I have attached pictures of the printouts that include the codes and definitions. I looked up the issue and see across car repair forums that this IS a widespread issue with KIA vehicles. It's time for nhtsa to force a recall. Corporations would rather pay a wrongful death/injury fine than voluntarily make widespread repairs to mechanisms they know are faulty. Protect our interests; the safety of drivers, our loved ones, the roads and our livelihoods- if I can't get to work reliably, I won't have a job. Why should I have to pay for expensive repairs when the product IS faulty across the board. force a recall.

- Loss of Motive Power

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) received a letter dated July 13, 2022, petitioning the Agency to initiate a safety defect investigation into loss of motive power allegations attributed to oil drain pan assembly failures on certain Hyundai Motor America, Inc. and Kia America, Inc. vehicles spanning Model Years (MY) 2005-2021. The Petitioners cited examples of complaints indicating that the subject vehicles were experiencing rapid loss of engine oil due to oil drain plug back outs, resulting in loss of motive power and/or catastrophic engine damage. Additional complaints were provided which alleged that the oil drain pans lack sufficient structural integrity and are susceptible to cracking. The petition itself can be reviewed at NHTSA.gov under ODI number 11481745. On September 12, 2022, the Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) opened Defect Petition (DP22-003) to evaluate the Petitioners’ request. The Petitioners have provided additional complaints within four supplemental letters dated January 31, 2023, March 21, 2023, May 23, 2023, and August 4, 2023. ODI’s evaluation included the review and analysis of the complaints and supporting information submitted by the Petitioners, as well as additional complaints submitted directly to NHTSA which referenced either the oil drain plug or a crack in the oil pan. After reviewing the available data, ODI has not identified evidence that would support opening a defect investigation into the oil drain pan assemblies of the subject vehicles. Based on a review of the available information, a loss of motive power resulting from an oil drain plug back out has not occurred between the initial sale of a vehicle and the completion of its first oil change. If during an oil change service, a technician fails to remove the existing drain plug gasket before installing a new gasket, it is likely that a proper seal between the drain plug and the oil pan will not be made. An improper seal between the drain plug and oil pan could lead to the backing out on the drain plug, resulting in the sudden loss of oil while driving. Additionally, the provided examples of oil pan cracks were localized to the immediate vicinity of the oil drain plug and/or appeared to be the result of direct-contact with a tool during servicing. There is no information to support that a vehicle-based defect exists relating to the oil pan assembly, and instead the documented incidents are related to the failure to follow the proper maintenance procedures during oil change service. In October 2023, Hyundai published a Technical Service Bulletin (TSB) that provided detailed instructions for oil change service on its gasoline powered vehicles, specifically highlighting the need to remove and replace the existing drain plug gasket prior to reinstalling the drain plug. After a thorough review of the material submitted by the petitioner, the information already in NHTSA's possession, and the potential risks to motor vehicle safety implicated by the petitioners' allegations, NHTSA does not believe that a formal investigation is warranted. Therefore, the petition is denied. A Federal Register Notice (FRN) further detailing NHTSA’s reasons for denial of the petition will be published. The reference numbers for the complaints to NHTSA cited by the petitioner can be found in the petition submission documents in the public file for DP22-003. To review those complaints and the additional complaints ODI added to its evaluation which are cited in the Closing Resume ODI Report Identification Number document, go to NHTSA.gov.
