2013 Kia Rio owner complaints

Tl* the contact owns a 2013 Kia rio. The contact was driving approximately 60 MPH when the lights on the instrument panel illuminated as the power steering suddenly malfunctioned. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where the electrical harness to the computer was replaced. The failure recurred twice after the repairs. The manufacturer was notified. The failure mileage was 70.

Engine O2 sensors failing caused car to go into limp mode when attempting to enter a very busy hi way. Key was stuck in the driver's side door. Could not unlock it. Had to call a locksmith. This left me on foot away from home. Key stuck in the ignition. Would not go into park or start. Car has to be towed home.

Kia is failing to repair a fuse recall in a timely manner. I was told I am just out of luck they aren't fixing

I was stopped for a stop sign at an intersection when flames shot up from underneath the hood! There was no warning at all that anything was even wrong w/this car! No lights on the dashboard...no warning! *tr I quickly put it into park and jumped out. The fire department was there in a matter of minutes. I am in the process of reporting this incident to the consumer affairs in rivine, cal. I still do not know what happened to cause such a fire!

The air bag warning light is on. The dealership states this means the air bag will not deploy in an accident. Kia has extended the warranty for the clock spring but the dealership refuses to fix because it has not been recalled. This is placing me and my family in danger of being seriously injured or killed if in an accident

Fire under the hood. It's available for inspection. I opened the hood after seeing smoke and the fire blew up but I wasn't hurt. The fire department put the fire out and wrote report. I called my insurance company and got a claim for it. They said it's most likely going to be a total loss after they examine it every where. I took it to Kia for servicing on September 11,2023 and I told them I had a little whining noise but they didn't say it was anything that could be fatal. Did this car have a recall for anything?

Car has 62,000 miles, rear brake went out first, upon inspection, on the right side went out, on the side of the padding there was metal to metal, middle part had minimal hair line minimal of padding left however the left one still had halfway padding, pretty good, rotor would not turn, brakes had stayed in place for a long time, wheel cylinder appears to be defective, cannot place a new brake pad, due to the piston constantly coming out, 2 mechanics were unable to fix this issue and one of them did successful get the brake pads in place and placed the caliper back, however, the rotor would not turn, meaning my brakes would stay in place all the time thus, having to force the car to move. Mechanic says that I had been driving with the brakes set at the same time, and what was odd for him

I was driving the car and heard something explode/pop. I was on the right lane and was able to pull over. Smoke was coming out of the car and oil was dripping from the bottom. The motor seems to have combusted and cracked. A mixture of oil and water continue to drip from the bottom of the vehicle.

I own a 2013 Kia Rio While driving my regular speed limit, my car stopped working. I heard a loud knocking sound coming from the engine compartment and it also sounded like something was lose. I tried having the car jumped but it would not start. I had to get it towed to a mechanic who diagnosed the vehicle as the starter needed replacement, oil was leaking, and oil pan gasket need to be replaced. It was also noted there was internal engine damage, but I was not notified about this before the other repairs were done & approved by me. I also had my car in the shop for the same issue on January 24, 2022 and had an oil changed then but the issue was not fixed. The repair work was completed both times but the issues was not fixed. I was informed that I needed a new motor/engine. I only have

Rattles upon acceleration, burning excessive oil. No oil leaks. Indicator light does no come on until the oil is almost completely gone and rattling upon acceleration is the warning!!!

My power steering is cutting in and out intermittently. This is accompanied by a number of indicator lights turning on. The dealership is not treating my issue with any urgency, and is content to have me continue driving my vehicle for 6 days while the power steering has been cutting in and out. I want to file a formal record of this issue in case it causes a severe accident. *js

It's very high insurance..I paid twice the amount of the car in insurance and registration Kelly Bluebook said car is worth 5000.00 Brand New...I paid 6995.00 plus taxes There's a recall on my vehicle and it has 147,000 miles and i haven't even drove anywhere but from Palace Station to Decatur

The airbag warning light came on my 2013 Kia rio lx sometime shortly after the mileage hit 80,000 miles. It would go on and then turn off. It did this for a little while but now it stays on all the time. I called Kia to ask if there had been any recalls on the air bags and they told me no. Then I was told that it would be $350-$400 just to check it out. I have seen many reports of this by other Kia rio owners on this website. This has become a common problem and there should be a recall for this problem.

1) replaced ox sensor@ 35000 miles 2) replaced right front wheel bearing @ 45000 miles 3) rear window is too small to see safely. Blind spot is large. 4) headlight auto-sensor setting does not initiate lights in daylight rain conditions. 5) seat design does not provide lumbar support and headrest is permanetly angled to cause neck pain during a long drive.
