This is now my second complaint regarding my 2014 Kia rio, for the same issue, happening within a span of two weeks. The first incident occurred on thur, 10/29/15. This second incident occurred on monday, 11/08/15. Once again, my car, while it was running and in park, slipped out of gear and into drive. This time, I was out of the vehicle for up to 4 minutes (inside of a disabled customers house, out of sight from th vehicle). I returned to find my car in drive. Luckily, affter the 10/129 incident where it slipped out of gear, I have either been shutting my vehicle off (I try not to because of wear and tear on the starter) or I use the emergency brake. Luckily, I used the e-brake on 11/08, or else it would have crashed into another car. (the 10/29 incident, my car slipped out of gear, knoc

I am a food delivery driver. I was making a delivery to a regular customer. I was outside his side door, talking. I was out of my 2014 Kia rio for approximately 1 and 1/2 to 2 minutes, talking with the customer. Suddenly, I am on the ground. I look to see a tires run over my foot. The customer chased after the car, it crashed intoo his parked car. That's when I noticed it was my car that ran me over. We called the oak creek police. Both the customer and I believe--due to the length of time I was out of the vehicle and talking to him--that the car (which was running) popped out of park and drove forward. I was approaximately 10-15 feet from the car when I was run over and his car was approximately 30 feet from my car. I went to the hospital; they believe I have a fracture to the head of my

Was having an engine light problem, ended up having the catalytic converter replaced under warranty. Now I am being told that my front brakes are like new and my rear brakes need to be replaced? I asked how this could happen and I was told it is odd and not likely but I needed to replace them. There has to be a malfunction form y back brakes to wear down and not have the front wear down at all

Driving to work I exited US-26 in Hillsboro, Oregon at the 185th exit. The exit is an uphill ramp with a traffic signal at the top of the hill. The traffic signal at the end of the ramp was green. I was following a Tesla Model Y and I saw the brake lights activate. I applied my brakes causing my car to slow down and then I had to proceed through a yellow light because I did not think I could stop safely without ending in the intersection. At the next traffic signal, I rolled down my window and yelled to the other driver to not apply their brakes when they are proceeding uphill through a green light. The other driver told me it is "regenerative braking." Unnecessary braking causes disruptions in the flow of traffic. It does not make sense that brake lights would activate if the driver is no

The contact owns a 2014 Kia Rio. The contact stated that the vehicle was consuming approximately 1/2 to 1 quart of oil per day. The air bag and check engine warning lights were illuminated.

I was involved in a front to rear car accident. My Kia did not have enough time to brake when the vehicle in front of me (a Honda) stopped suddenly. During the incident my Kia hit the Honda's rear twice (two impact moments) - after the first impact in a moment of panic I hit the gas pedal instead of the brake and hit the Honda once more. The airbags did not go off (my safety concern/complaint). I was glad the air bags did not go off because the gases they release affect my asthma. However, if there was a passenger with me they may have been injured on the dashboard and I also could have been injured by the steering wheel since the air bags did not go off. The entire front of my Kia was ruined: the hood was crumpled, the front bumper came off. The head lights were smashed, and the front sid

Rio slid terrible after trying to go around a stopped vehicle and the steering was loose and when we hit the trailer on the side. The air bag on drivers side did not deploy and the passenger bag busted the passenger's sternum and a sharp metal piece appears to be in her leg as some were removed. In addition, the seat belt would not come unhooked as she was pinned tight in the car. A truck driver who stopped before he hit us by running down the road had to cut the seat belt as passenger in shock. Horrible crappy handling and skid was unacceptable as it did not slow down. ..updated 11/25/14*bf updated 12/03/14 *bf.. Updated 12/29/14 *bf updated 9/25/15 *js
