ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, SERVICE BRAKES, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
I drove to an appointment when I got ready to leave the car was fine then the epb light came on I put it into drive because I know that will release it, per the car manual instructions. It did not release the brakes and the car would not move. Had to call a tow truck the car was stuck in place. Per manual it states the epb will come on by itself at any time, I’m lucky it didn’t come on and not turn off at a stop sign or traffic light. Electronic parking brake mode yes available for inspection upon request Electronic parking brake turn on its self and would not release leaving the car stuck where it put on the epb. Yes by the dealership No No warnings

POWER TRAIN
I BOUGHT THIS CAR IN NOV. '20. THE FIRST TIME THAT THE TEMP DROPPED BELOW 65, ON THE FIRST "AUTO STOP" OCCURENCE AFTER REACHING OPERATING TEMPERATURE, AFTER ABOUT A SECOND OF THE ENGINE TURNING OFF,A LOUD BEEP OCCURRED AND A MESSAGE POPPED UP SAYING THE SYSTEM HAS SHUT DOWN AND I NEEDED TO SHIFT INTO N OR P AND PRESS THE START BUTTON TO RESTART THE ENGINE. IT ACTUALLY REQUIRED PRESSING THE BUTTON TWICE WHILE THE LOUD BEEP CONTINUED, STUCK IN TRAFFIC. IT WILL DO THIS UP TO 4 TIMES IF IT'S BELOW ABOUT 65 AND THE VEHICLE HAS SAT FOR HOURS OUTSIDE.TO THIS DATE, THE MFG. HAS YET TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE SHUT DOWN. A DTC WAS NEVER STORED. A CONTINUOUS MIL ILLUMINATION NEVER HAPPENED. IT'S BEEN TO THE DEALER MULTIPLE TIMES. I CALLED KIA TWO DAYS AGO AND THEY SAID THEY WOULD CALL THE DEALER AND HAVE THEM PUT PRESSURE ON KIA'S OWN TECH LINE. NO CALL HAS BEEN RECEIVED.I BELIEVE THAT A LOSS OF MOTIVE POWER IN TRAFFIC REPRESENTS A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN AND REGARDLESS OF THE ACTUAL MALFUNCATION CAUSING THE SHUT DOWN, THE SHUT DOWN FAILURE MODE OF THE SYSTEM, VERSUS JUST RESTARTING THE ENGINE WITH A MIL ILLUMINATION AND A STORED DTC IS A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN AND THAT HYUNDAI MOTOR GROUP SHOULD BE MADE TO IDENTIFY ALL SUCH KIA, GENESIS, AND HYUNDAI MODELS WITH SUCH A SYSTEM AND BE MADE TO RECALL THEM AND REPROGRAM THEM TO NOT ALLOW A REMOVAL OF MOTIVE POWER WHILE BEING DRIVEN IN TRAFFIC, IN ADDITION TO ADDRESSING THE ACTUAL MALFUNCTION IN MY K900. OR IF THEY CAN'T, THEY NEED TO BE MADE TO DEACTIVATE THE SYSTEM PERMANENTLY, RESTATE FUEL ECONOMY ESTIMATES, AND REIMBURSE DRIVERS.

STRUCTURE:BODY, PARKING BRAKE
THE 2017 KIA K 900 HAS HAD MULTIPLE ISSUES OF CONCERN. THE 4 PASSENGER DOORS HAVE ALL RIPPLED AND SEPARATED FROM THE DOOR INTRUSION BAR.I HAVE BROUGHT THIS CONCERN TO THE ATTENTION OF KIA SERVICE CENTER AND KIA COOPERATE. IT WAS SUGGESTED THAT VEHICLE BE TAKEN TO TWO COLLISION SHOPS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS.TO CORRECT THE SITUATION. RECOMMENDATION WAS TO HAVE KIA BUY BACK THE VEHICLE. IT APPEARS THAT THE INTRUSION BAR IN THE DOORS IS FLEXING WHICH COULD BE A SAFETY ISSUE. IF THE INTRUSION BAR IS NOT STABLE THEN HOW CAN IT BE EFFECTIVE IN AN ACCIDENT.? IN ADDITION THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THE PARKING BRAKE THAT HAS NOT BEEN CLEARED OR CORRECTED. EVO WARNING SYSTEM SENDS A CONSTANT ERROR CODE C 1604. IN ADDITION EVERY LIGHT LENS HAD TO BE REPLACED DUE TO CONDENSATION IN THE LENS. AFFECTS VISIBILITY. KIA CORPORATE HAS BEEN LESS THEN COOPERATIVE OR HELPFUL. *TR

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
THE LED HEADLIGHTS, IN AUTO MODE, FLICKER AND THEN EVENTUALLY GO OUT WHILE DRIVING MAKING THIS AN INCREDIBLE SAFETY ISSUE. THIS IS INTERMITTENT AND DIFFICULT TO REPLICATE DURING SERVICING. I'VE HAD IT IN TWICE WITH NO REPAIRS BECAUSE THEY CAN'T 'SEE THE ISSUE'. I NOW REFUSE TO DRIVE IN THE DARK.

WHEELS
WHEN NEW, THE CAR VIBRATED AT HIGHER SPEEDS (60+) AND THE DEALER REPLACED 3 OF THE FOUR NEW HANKOOK TIRES BECAUSE THEY WERE DEFECTIVE AT ABOUT 1,500 MILES ON THE CAR ODOMETER. AT ABOUT 22,000 MILES, THE CAR STARTED VIBRATING AGAIN. ABOUT 2 WEEKS LATER, I TOOK THE CAR OVER TO DISCOUNT TIRES AND THEY POINTED OUT THE THE TREAD ON THE RIGHT/PASSENGER WAS SEPARATING, MAKING THIS 4 OUT OF 7 HANKOOK TIRES THAT HAVE BEEN PUT ON THIS CAR THAT ARE DEFECTIVE. SEARCHING 'KIA K900 VIBRATION' ON THE WEBSITE GENERATES NUMEROUS RESULTS OF OWNERS HAVING SIMILAR PROBLEMS RELATED TO HANKOOK TIRES. THESE HANKOOK TIRES ARE DEFECTIVE AND DANGEROUS, AND SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO BE SOLD UNTIL THE PROBLEM IS FIXED. I'VE BEEN DRIVING ALMOST 45 YEARS AND NEVER HAD TREAD SEPARATION LIKE THIS, OR THIS MANY TIRE FAILURES.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
BACK PORTION OF THE PANORAMIC SUNROOF COMPLETELY SHATTERED WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS NOT EVEN IN USE. IT WAS PARKED IN THE BACK OF OUR DRIVEWAY ALONG WITH OUR OTHER VEHICLE. IT WAS FINE ONE DAY AND WAS FOUND COMPLETELY SHATTERED THE NEXT MORNING...GOOD THING IT WASN'T RAINING OR SNOWING. IT WAS NOT HIT BY ANYTHING. I HAVE GLASS INSURANCE BUT FEEL KIA SHOULD PAY FOR THIS, NOT MY INSURANCE COMPANY, ESPECIALLY IF THIS HAPPENS AGAIN IN THE FUTURE!

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
THERE IS A FLAW IN NIGHT DRIVING WHERE THE ILLUMINATED INSTRUMENT CLUSTER REFLECTS ON THE FRONT WINDSHIELD GLASS IN THE DRIVER'S LINE OF VISION CREATING A DISTRACTING HAZARD. THE ONLY WAY TO ALLEVIATE THIS CONDITION IS TO COMPLETELY DIM THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER TO A SETTING OF ONE WHICH MAKES THE CLUSTER TOO DIM TO READ. SO YOU HAVE A CHOICE: STARE AT A REFLECTION IN YOUR WINDSHIELD OR BE UNABLE TO SEE YOUR SPEEDOMETER.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
AT SEPARATE TIMES, BOTH "ADAPTIVE" HEADLAMPS HAVE FAILED. AT SEPARATE TIMES, BOTH HEADLAMPS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THIS COULD BE A SYSTEMIC PROBLEM WITH THIS MAKE AND MODEL. WHEN THE FAILURE OCCURS, THE HEADLAMPS WILL BE POINTING IN OPPOSITE, AND AT LEAST HALF THE TIME, WRONG DIRECTION. YOU COULD TURN LEFT, THE HEADLAMP WILL POINT RIGHT AND THERE WILL BE MINIMAL LIGHT COVERAGE ON THE ROAD. YOU ALSO CAN NOT SEE "DOWN" THE ROAD WHEN THIS CONDITION EXISTS.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THE SCREEN DISPLAY WILL FREEZE AND GIVE AN ERROR MESSAGE. THIS IS DANGEROUS AND DISTRACTING WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE BECAUSE AFTER THE FREEZE THE SCREEN WILL GO BLACK FOR A PERIOD OF TIME, THEN THE SYSTEM WILL BOOT WITH THE "WELCOME" SCREEN, THEN IT WILL ASK YOU TO AGREE WITH THE TERMS WHICH REQUIRES A MANUAL DRIVER OPERATION. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES AT RANDOM INTERVALS.
