Electrical System · reported Oct 15, 2026
Something with the electrical system in this electric vehicle was not functioning properly as the car would go into "turtle mode" as the service department called it. 45 mph then dropping to 30 mph before reaching the dealership. My safety was at risk because driving on the highway could have had someone rear end up by slowing down. The dealership has been inspected. Waiting at the dealership since Monday Oct 12, 2026. I don't think my vehicle has been inspected by the manufacturer, police, or insurance representatives. Vehicle would warn to check the battery system at car start. Upon driving…
Electrical System · reported Sep 27, 2026
Dear Kia Customer Care, I am writing to formally report a serious and recurring safety issue with my Kia vehicle.

Because it was an electrical car I assumed, that it could start burning, when it smells like smoke and looks like smoke. So I called 911 and told…
Service Brakes · reported Sep 9, 2026
I got into my car in a hurry i put my car in drive as i was closing my driver's door and took off and because the door wasn't fully closed the parking brake engaged itself but the power over comes the parking brake, when i let off the throttle the rear wheels locked up causing the car to slide out of control. I pushed on the throttle again to unlock the rear wheels causing me to swerve in the other lane and almost crash into an incoming car. I tried to turn off the brake and could not without stopping the car so i had to skid out of control again stopping to turn it off.
