Recalls and investigations

  1. Service brakes, hydraulic, antilock/traction control/electronic limited slip, control unit/modulePark outsideSep 25, 2023

    Kia America, Inc. (Kia) is recalling certain 2010-2019 Borrego, 2014-2016 Cadenza, 2010-2013 Forte, Forte Koup, Sportage, 2015-2018 K900, 2011-2015 Optima, 2011-2013 Optima Hybrid, Soul, 2012-2017 Rio, 2011-2014 Sorento, and 2010-2011 Rondo vehicles. The Hydraulic Electronic Control Unit (HECU) may experience an electrical short, which can result in an engine compartment fire while parked or driving.

    An engine compartment fire while parked or driving can increase the risk of injury.

    Owners are advised to park outside and away from structures until the recall repair is complete. Dealers will replace the HECU fuse, free of charge. Interim notification letters, notifying owners of the safety risk, were mailed November 14, 2023. Owner notification letters were mailed March 29, 2024 through June 18, 2024. Owners may contact Kia customer service at 1-800-333-4542. Kia's number for this recall is SC284.

  2. Air bags, air bag/restraint control moduleJun 1, 2018

    Kia Motors America (Kia) is recalling certain 2010-2013 Kia Forte, Forte Koup, 2011-2013 Kia Optima and 2011-2012 Kia Optima Hybrid and Sedona vehicles. In the event of a crash, the air bag control unit (ACU) may short circuit, preventing the frontal air bags and seat belt pretensioners from deploying.

    If the frontal air bags and seat belt pretensioners are disabled, there is an increased risk of injury to the vehicle occupants in the event of a vehicle crash that necessitates deployment of these safety systems.

    Kia will notify owners. For model year 2011 Sedona vehicles, Kia will instruct dealers to verify the ACU part number and, if necessary, install an extension wire harness kit between the ACU Connector and the Vehicle Harness Connector. For all other affected vehicles, Kia will instruct dealers to install the extension wire harness kit. The recall began September 28, 2018. Owners may contact Kia customer service at 1-800-333-4542. Kia's number for this recall is SC165.

  3. Exterior lighting, brake lights, switchApr 1, 2013

    Kia Motors Corporation (Kia) is recalling certain model year 2007-2010 Rondo, model year 2007-2011 Sedona, Sorento and Sportage, model year 2010-2011 Soul, model year 2008-2011 Optima, model year 2010 Forte, model year 2007-2009 Amanti, and model year 2009 Borrego vehicles. Originally, in April 2013, Kia recalled 623,658 model year 2007-2010 Rondo and Sportage, model year 2007-2011 Sorento, model year 2007 Sedona, model year 2010-2011 Soul, and model year 2011 Optima vehicles. In September 2013, Kia informed the agency that it was adding an additional 356,719 vehicles to this campaign. The total number of vehicles being recalled is now 980,377. In the affected vehicles, the stop lamp switch may malfunction. A malfunctioning stop lamp switch may cause the brake lights to not illuminate when the brake pedal is depressed or may cause an inability to deactivate the cruise control by depressing the brake pedal. Additionally, a malfunctioning stop lamp switch may also result in intermittent operation of the push-button start feature, affect the operation of the brake-transmission shift interlock feature preventing the shifter from being moved out of the PARK position and cause the Electronic Stability Control (ESC) malfunction light to illuminate.

    Failure to illuminate the stop lamps during braking or inability to disengage the cruise control could increase the risk of a crash. Additionally, when the ignition is in the 'ON' position, the transmission shifter may be able to be moved out of PARK without first applying the brake. This may lead to unintentional movement of the car which may increase the risk of a crash.

    Kia will send an interim notification to owners in May 2013. When parts are available, owners will receive a second notification and dealers will replace the stop lamp switch, free of charge. Owners may contact Kia at 1-800-333-4542. Kia's recall campaign number is SC098.

    The contact owns a 2010 Kia Forte. The contact stated the vehicle was taken to a dealer for several recall repairs, and repair under Manufacturer Recall Number: SC165A. After the recall repairs were performed, while driving approximately 60 MPH on the highway with the clutch engaged and the vehicle in gear, the vehicle started jerking and unexpectedly decelerated. The contact moved over to the side of the road, and the vehicle became inoperable. The vehicle was first towed to the residence and then to the dealer for inspection. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired; however, the contact was advised by the dealer that the failure was due to normal wear and tear. However, the contact believed that the failure was caused by the recall repair under Manufacturer Recall Number: SC165A. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 157,000.

  2. Power train, Engine, Apr 20, 2026

    The contact owns a 2010 Kia Forte with a five-speed transmission. The contact received notifications for NHTSA Campaign Number: 18V363000(Air Bags) and NHTSA Campaign Number: 23V652000(Service Brakes, Hydraulics), as well as other manufacturer recalls. The contact made an appointment at a dealer and had the vehicle serviced for the recalls. The contact had to make a second appointment as not all parts were available for the initial appointment. After the contact's second appointment, all recall services were performed, and she was informed that a five-point inspection was also performed on the vehicle. Upon leaving the dealer, the contact stated that while driving at 65 MPH, the vehicle's clutch failed without warning. Due to the failure, the contact was unable to downshift the vehicle and was forced to use her emergency brake to stop the vehicle. The contact sustained severe emotional distress as a result of the failure, as it nearly resulted in an accident. With the assistance of a fellow motorist, the vehicle was towed to her home since the dealer was closed. The contact later called the dealer and had the vehicle towed back to the dealer. Once the vehicle was inspected, the contact was informed that the cabin filter and two front tires needed to be replaced; the contact was also informed that she would need a wheel alignment. The contact declined the repair. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired and remained in the dealer's possession. The failure mileage was approximately 167,000.

My insurance company said they will not be liable if something happens to me while operating this vehicle while it's under Recall ! Kia is alleging that my vehical is not under (Warrenty any more!

    Engine failure on 2010.kia forte due to faulty oil pump causing car to come to a stop while in trafficc could cause safety problem for everyone on roadway

  8. Power train, Engine, Nov 22, 2021

    While the vehicle was operating the engine had a noticeable amount of power reduction and there were multiple knocking sounds occurring simultaneously. The vehicle was being operated in the right-most furthest lane of a busy freeway in the middle of traffic and at freeway speeds of approximately 65 mph. The issue seemed to originate from the engine causing engine malfunction without engine light indication. There was no engine light prior, during, or post-incident. The vehicle has been professionally inspected, but not thoroughly diagnosed. Altogether, the motor has had a major unidentifiable malfunction and now I have no transportation from the once-reliable vehicle I was using.

    I HAVE A 2010 KIA FORTE KOUP. IT RUNS AND DRIVES ALRIGHT BESIDES IT MAKES SUCH A KNOCK. I HAVE HEARD IT COULD BE A ROD KNOCK OR A SPUD BEARING ETC. NEED TO KNO IF I'M UNDER MANUFACTURER WARRENTY AS I'M NOT THE ORIGINAL OWNER. CAR ONLY HAS 88,000 MILES ON IT TOO. ALSO THE PLACE I TOOK IT TO SEE WHAT WAS WRONG SAID IT WOULD BE 2 GRAND TO FIX IT. HOW DO YOU EXPECT ME TO DO THAT AS I'M MAKING PAYMENTS ON THE CAR AND ONLY HAD IT SINCE APRIL OF THIS YEAR.

  14. Power train, Nov 21, 2015

    VEHICLE FAILED TO START. HAD VEHICLE TOWED TO GARAGE WHO STATED THAT IT WAS A PROBLEM WITH TIMING CHAIN AND SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. HAD VEHICLE RE-TOWED TO DEALERSHIP WHO STATED THAT IT WAS A BAD TIMING CHAIN AND THAT IT WAS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. THIS IS NOT A BELT, BUT A CHAIN. THE TIMING CHAIN SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER THE POWERTRAIN WARRANTY. IT'S A NECESSARY PART FOR THE POWERTRAIN TO FUNCTION PROPERLY. AT THE VERY LEAST, THE POWER TRAIN WARRANTY SHOULD HAVE COVERED THIS. TEN DAYS TO REPAIR - $1200 OUT OF POCKET BECAUSE IT IS NOT AN EASY REPLACEMENT.

  15. Power train, Aug 22, 2014

    A FEW MONTHS BACK MY SHIFTER (AUTOMATIC SHIFTER) BECAME SLUGGISH AND APPEARED TO TAKE MORE FORCE TO PULL BACK INTO DRIVE. WITHIN THE LAST MONTH THE VEHICLE NOW SLIPS OUT OF DRIVE AND INTO NEUTRAL. I HAVE TO HOLD THE SHIFTER BACK INTO DRIVE (WITH FORCE NEEDED TO KEEP PULLING IT BACK AND MAINTAIN THE "D" FOR DRIVE ON THE ODOMETER). IF I AM DRIVING AND I TAKE MY HAND OFF OF THE SHIFTER, IT SLIPS INTO NEUTRAL. THIS IS CREATING AN UNSAFE SITUATION THAT HOPEFULLY IS NOT OCCURRING ON MANY OF THESE VEHICLES. THERE HAVE BEEN TIMES THAT I HAVE MADE MY WAY INTO AN INTERSECTION AND HAVE HAD MY VEHICLE SLIP INTO NEUTRAL. IN ONE CASE I WAS LUCKY TO NOT GET HIT BY PULLING OUT TO GET INTO TRAFFIC AND HAVING IT SLIP INTO NEUTRAL.

    OUR 2010 KIA FORTE EX LOST 90% OF POWER REPEATEDLY (RPMS DROP TO IDLE, REGARDLESS OF THROTTLE POSITION) AT SPEEDS FROM 0-35MPH. THIS IS NOT THE FIRST OCCURRENCE, BUT I THINK IT IS THE SAME PROBLEM. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS IF YOU ARE MAKING A LEFT TURN AND YOU LOSE ACCELERATION, YOU CAN BE IN THE WAY OF ONCOMING TRAFFIC BY LOSING POWER. ABOUT 2 YEARS AGO (25,000 MILES OR SO) THE TPS (THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR) WENT OUT. KIA COULD NOT DIAGNOSE IT UNTIL IT THREW A CODE (LAME). NOW WE GET THE SAME ISSUE, THE VEHICLE IS STALLING, OR "STUMBLING" WHEN THE SPEED SHOULD BE CONSTANT OR ACCELERATING, BUT THERE IS NO ENGINE CODE FOR THE CODE READER TO PICKUP YET, SO THE MECHANICS CAN'T FIGURE OUT WHAT TO DO. APPARENTLY THIS IS A PROBLEM ON MANY MODELS OF KIA/HYUNDAI AND THE MECHANICS DON'T RECOGNIZE IT SO THEY CAN'T FIX IT, AND YOU ARE STUCK WITH A DANGEROUS CONDITION. I THINK THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL OF THESE FAULTY TPS SENSORS. KIA/HYUNDAI SHOULD AT LEAST ISSUE A SAFETY TSB (TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN) TO CLUE IN THEIR MECHANICS AS TO WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. HERE'S A GREAT ARTICLE SHOWING THE PROBLEM: HTTP://WWW.KIA-FORUMS.COM/KIA-CARNIVAL-SEDONA-2006/80251-TPS-SENSOR-SYMPTOMS-TPS-FAILURE-CEL.HTML THANKS FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER. *TR

  17. Power train, Electronic stability control (ESC), Service brakes, May 20, 2013

    UPON PARKING MY VEHICLE, I COULD NOT SHIFT OUT OF DRIVE OR NEUTRAL, RESULTING IN AN INABILITY TO PUT MY CAR IN PARK AND REMOVE MY KEYS. AS I WAS UNABLE TO DO THIS, I COULD NOT LEAVE MY VEHICLE AND FEARED IT COULD ROLL FROM ITS PARKING SPOT. AT THIS TIME, THE REAR BRAKE LIGHTS WERE NOT COMING ON WHEN I WOULD PRESS THE BRAKES. ALSO, MY ESC CONTROL LIGHTS CAME ON INDICATING THIS FUNCTION WAS NO LONGER WORKING. WHEN TALKING WITH THE DEALERSHIP, I LEARNED THERE IS AN IDENTICAL PROBLEM WITH OTHER MODELS THAT HAS RESULTED IN A RECALL. HOWEVER, MY FORTE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THIS RECALL. AFTER MANY ATTEMPTS TO RESTART MY VEHICLE OVER FIFTEEN MINUTES, I WAS FINALLY ABLE TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK. HOWEVER, MY ESC LIGHT REMAINED ON AFTER THIS. *TR

  18. Power train, Mar 17, 2013

    THREE TIMES I'VE NOTICED THIS. I PARK THE KIA IN MY DRIVE AT NIGHT AND IN THE MORNING IT HAS SLIPPED 4 OR 5 FEET DOWN THE DRIVEWAY. THE DRIVE IS ON A SLOPE, BUT NOTHING EXTREME. THE KIA HAS AN AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. *TR

  19. Engine and engine cooling, Power train, Oct 3, 2011

    THE VEHICLE WILL SPORADICALLY JERK HARD WHEN CHANGING GEARS. I HAVE ONLY EVER EXPERIENCED THIS SAME FEELING WHEN A TRANSMISSION WAS GOING OUT. THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED BRAND NEW ON 06/24/11 FROM A DEALERS LOT, THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN USED AS A DEMO. THE VEHICLE HARD JERKED WHEN CHANGING GEARS, FOUR SEPARATE TIMES BETWEEN 06/25/11 AND 07/05/11. PER THIS WEBSITE: HTTP://WWW.KIA-FORUMS.COM/KIA-FORTE-CERATO-TD-KOUP-DISCUSSION/55002-SX-2-4L-W-AUTO-TRANS-2.HTML I AM NOT THE ONLY PERSON WITH THIS PROBLEM. *TR

  20. Power train, Mar 10, 2011

    MY 2010 KIA FORTE EX SEDAN, 5 SPEED AUTOMATIC HAS A TRANSMISSION PROBLEM THAT COULD DEFINITELY LEAD TO INJURIES OR DEATH. THIS IS A RECURRING PROBLEM THAT CAN HAPPEN ANY TIME, BUT MOSTLY OCCURS DURING OR AFTER GOING UP A SIGNIFICANT HILL, BUT MAY HAPPEN ON LEVEL GROUND. THERE'S 23,000 MILES ON MY KIA AND IT'S UNDER FULL WARRANTY. I TOOK THIS TO THE DEALER, THEY COULD NOT FIND A PROBLEM OR DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM; THEY SUGGESTED FLUSHING THE TRANSMISSION FOR $150, SO I DID THAT. IT DID NOT HELP. IT STOPPED FOR ABOUT A WEEK, THEN IT STARTED SEIZING UP AGAIN, TODAY (3/10/2011) IT SEIZED TWICE ON MY WIFE. WHAT IT DOES IS NOT ACTUALLY STOP THE CAR, BUT "FREEZE" YOU AT ONE SPEED, TYPICALLY EITHER 20MPH OR 45-50MPH IT TAKES UP TO 30 SECONDS TO SHIFT, AND IF YOU ARE PULLING OUT IN FRONT OF TRAFFIC AND IT SEIZES AND WON'T LET YOU GO BEYOND 10-20MPH IT'S VERY DANGEROUS. THE DEALER SAYS THEY WON'T HAVE A REPLACEMENT LOANER UNTIL NEXT WEEK, SO WE'LL WAIT. I'M IN NORTHERN UT. IT'S HAPPENING IN DRY WARM (50-60 DEGREE) WEATHER. WE HAVE NOT DRIVEN THE CAR SEVERELY, THIS SHOULD DEFINITELY NOT HAPPEN. THE KIA OWNER'S MANUAL SAYS TO INSPECT THE TRANSMISSION FLUID AT 40,000 AND ONLY CHANGE THEN IF NEEDED, SO THE VERY EXPENSIVE FLUID SHOULD BE GOOD. THIS IS SOME UNIQUE FLUID YOU HAVE TO BUY FROM THE DEALER, NORMAL AUTO PARTS STORES DON'T HAVE IT. OTHER DRIVERS ARE REPORTING THIS WITH THE KIA FORTE EX ALSO ( HTTP://WWW.KIA-FORUMS.COM/KIA-FORTE-CERATO-TD-KOUP-DISCUSSION/56086-NEW-TRANSMISSION-NEEDED-6900-MILES.HTML). I AM CONCERNED ABOUT OUR SAFETY WHILE DRIVING A CAR I CAN'T PREDICT WHEN IT WILL SEIZE UP AND NOT SHIFT. LETTING YOUR FOOT OFF THE GAS DOES NOT HELP. IT DOES HAVE TO BE WELL WARMED UP TO HAVE THIS DIFFICULTY, AT LEAST 10 MINUTES OF DRIVING. THANKS FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER! *TR

  21. Power train, Feb 7, 2011

    TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 KIA FORTE SEDAN. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH, THE TRANSMISSION SUDDENLY SHIFTED. THE CONTACT STATED THE GEAR WOULD SWITCH FROM ONE GEAR TO ANOTHER AND THE TIRES WOULD SKID. THE CONTACT STATED AFTER FIVE MINUTES OF DRIVING, HE COULD SMELL RUBBER BURNING. ALSO, THE SPEEDODOMETER WORKED ERRATICALLY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INSPECTED OR REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 800.

  22. Power train, Vehicle speed control, May 28, 2010

    I JUST BOUGHT A KIA FORTE 5 SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION. SO FAR WHEN THE CAR HAD 425 MILES ON IT, THE GAS PEDAL HAS ACTED LIKE IT WAS DEPRESSED--THE ENGINE REVVED UP VERY HIGH, BUT MY FOOT WAS NOT ON THE PEDAL. MY DAUGHTER WAS ALSO DRIVING AND IT ALSO HAPPENED TO HER, IT FELT AS IF THE GAS PEDAL WAS STUCK. I CHECKED TO SEE IF THERE WAS ANYTHING COVERING THE PEDAL---MAYBE THE RUG OR SOMETHING BUT THERE WAS NOTHING THERE. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER AND THEY FOUND NOTHING WRONG WITH THE COMPUTER DIAGNOSTICS THEY RAN AND SENT ME HOME. THE CAR HAS ABOUT 800 MILES ON IT NOW AND I HAVEN'T EXPERIENCED ANY OTHER SUCH PROBLEMS, YET. I AM AN EXPERIENCED MANUAL TRANSMISSION DRIVER AND I DO NOT ACCEPT THAT THIS WAS DRIVER ERROR. THE TIMES THIS HAPPENED TO ME MY RIGHT FOOT WAS COMPLETELY OFF THE GAS PEDAL AND MY LEFT FOOT WAS DEPRESSING THE CLUTCH FULLY. *TR

ALSO 8 DIFFERENT RECALLS ON THE CAR INCLUDING GAS CAP, CRUISE CONTROL, TRANSMISSION, COMPUTER SYSTEM AND OTHERS OF THE SAME NATURE. ALSO THE CAR IS ACCELERATING BY IT SELF. THEY ARE GOING BACK AND FORTH WITH KIA CORPORATE HEAD QUARTERS AND THEY STILL DO NOT KNOW HOW TO FIX ANY OF THE PROBLEMS. KIA AGREED TO PUT ME IN A RENTAL CAR AND THAT IS WHAT I AM REMAINING TO DRIVE AT THE PRESENT TIME. *TR
