What the title says. Car was stolen by the kia boys and I randomly looked up the vin and saw it sold in October. Sucks because this was the first brand new car I’ve ever owned. Worked so hard just to see it get sold for 10k

WHATEVER I FIXED IT I spelled accountability wrong 🤣 so thanks to whoever pointed that out.. ANYWAYSSSSSSS like I was saying ! These cars are garbage and for everyone calling me a loser on here can f*ck off! You say that until it’s your car asshole.

This dealership has screwed so many people over and these cars are dangerous I don’t care what anybody says.. talk to the families of the two people who burned alive because of these stupid engines

I have a 2021 Kia forte with only 46,000MILES on it!

This is every issue I’ve faced

• Steering wheel replacement

• Persistent creaking noise from the front wheel area—still undiagnosed

• Ongoing “rushing water” sound coming from the engine bay area — confirmed but blamed on my perfume bottle (BS!)

• Transmission failure/replacement (spontaneous acceleration, failure to accelerate)

• AC system failure, undiagnosed that ran concurrent with

• an Engine overheating (which happened shortly after AC went out) which has also gone undiagnosed to where coolant was found to be more than 2 quarts low (equivalent to 8 cups) yet when asked why the coolant was low, the service rep claimed “coolant evaporates over time and should be checked and topped off every few months” which is also BS! According to every automotive standard I’ve researched (including ASE-certified guidance), coolant loss on this scale in modern vehicles is not routine and is indicative of leak or system failure.

So no I’m not over critical or crazy or a Karen this dealership is shady as hell and I’ve been more than patient

I tried to go to management and they talked down to me , stonewalled me and low balled me cause I asked them to buy this car back in good faith for all the safety issues and trouble and money I’ve lost in devaluation time out of work (I work for uber) and investments and they lowballed me and spoke to me like I’m less than

I’m warning people so yall can kiss my ass ! For everyone calling me a loser. When it happens to you you’ll shut up real quick, jerks

This car had been nothing but trouble since the first day I bought it. Electrical issues, steering issues, it blew the motor at 80k and the 2nd motor at 160k miles. I have put $1700 in this pos this year alone and now the engine has blown again.

Fuck you kia motors

My car isn’t even one of the ones that can be stolen

I wonder if people are still googling “KN car”

The rebrand of Kia will always be the best in automotive history.

Is there any indication that the class action lawsuit will cover 2023 attempted thefts even if the vehicle is already equipped with an immobilizer?

In 2021 we lost our 2009 Optima (in photo) when it spontaneously set on fire in our driveway. I never thought that the same thing would happen today.

Took the day off and we were pulling up to a restaurant for lunch when smoke started pouring out of the front of my 2012 Kia Rio. Luckily someone in a nearby shop ran out with a fire extinguisher which stopped the flames before they spread too far. I didn't even know there was a recall on the vehicle until someone mentioned it on the scene.

I loved both of our Kias but after having this happen twice I am definitely moving on to another make of vehicle for our next car. The issues that these cars have are serious. Check to see if there's a recall on your model and make sure to take care of it because if it can happen to me twice it can definitely happen to you.

$9k “market adjustment”? GTFO. Haven’t found a dealer within 200mi of me willing to sell at MSRP because they have suckers willing to pay these ridiculous markups.

I had a 2010 Elantra that was broken Into 2 times and actually stolen once. I go and buy a 2021 Sportage that has now been broken into 3 times in the last 3 months, I had a club on the wheel but the kids tried to cut it off, and still ripped apart the steering console area and tried to steal it.

I take the car to Kia, am given the run around by the warranty repair department, they finally give me a loaner (2023 Seltos), and just this morning the window was shattered and they attempted to steal it. This has been a massive inconvenience in my personal life, taking up massive amounts of time. The warranty repair department of both Kia and Hyundai are an absolute JOKE, and I am absolutely going to switch to a Toyota or Honda after being loyal to Hyundai/Kia for many years.

The motors I've replaced, the burning oil, and now the absolutely disgusting amount of theft/attempted theft on my own vehicles, I'm done. I hope you will reconsider your next vehicle purchase and not have to go through what I am.

2013 kia ceed. any time i play a song through bluetooth on my phone it gives me this message, how do i turn it off

Unfortunately my daughter got rear ended when she was stopped in traffic and by a small pickup that was going about 50mph. The car is only 9 months old. The trunk and back doors won’t open at all. She was able to drive it to the side of the road. I just don’t want insurance to try to fix it and she’s left with an unsafe car

Lost my Soul this Sunday. A 14-year-old girl stole mine for a joy ride. The cops actually found her, pursued, and she yeeted off a small cliff and into a tree. (Blood on the seat but they said she's okay.)

The double whammy...

2014 Soul, Kia sent the bar under warranty. Iiving in a high crime area, no one's attempted to steal it yet.

Last night when I was getting off of work I drove home and parked my car in the space next to my apartments back window (like I usually do. It feels safer). While taking a shower to unwind I heard a few people loudly talking and making a lot of noise outside of my window. I didn't understand what they are saying because it's not english but then I hear a loud BANG. It wasn't a shatter noise but almost like someone punched my window or wall to the apartment. I got out of shower, quickly dried off, got clothes on and looked out my window to see my car was not there. I ran out my front door and and back behind my apartment to see glass all in the street and a car (peobably mine) turning the corner taking off. No alarm. Quickly got in and stole my car that quick and took off. I called the police (who took 2 hours to show) and filled out forms but they were honest with me and said since I'm near a port and they don't chase down stolen cars that I should "keep that in mind". Talked to insurance today and am getting a rental car. Man fuck car thieves.

Already had issues this past week. Moving out of my mother in laws. Had to stay at my brothers. Just put down a security deposit for a place and was moving in today until this shit happened.

This is what Kia sends out for "anti theft" for an issue they screwed up on instead of giving us the part to actually fix it?! What a joke.

They destroyed the key hole too. I can't even stick my key in there now? Anyone have an idea on the estimate for this? Hoping I can just get some money to get a new car and be done with these KIAs. My deductible is 500. Its undrivable.
