FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
AT APPROXIMATELY 40K MILES THE VEHICLE DEVELOPED AN ANNOYING PING & POWER LOSS, (DEAD SPOT), WHEN ACCELERATING UP A HILL OR INTO A CORNER. DEALER 1ST TOLD ME THAT AFTER AN EXTENSIVE TEST DRIVE NO TROUBLE WAS FOUND, HOWEVER THE MILEAGE WAS EXACTLY THE SAME AS WHEN I BROUGHT CAR INTO SHOP, OBVIOUSLY TEST DRIVE WAS NOT PERFORMED, HAD THE MECHANIC COME FOR A RIDE WITH ME, NOISE WAS APPARENT IMMEDIATELY ALTHOUGH MECHANIC DID HIS BEST NOT TO ACKNOWLEDGE IT UNTIL I TOOK A TURN ONTO A STEEP INCLINE WHERE NOISE BECAME QUITE PREVALENT & MECHANIC DID ACKNOWLEDGE IT & STATED THAT IT WAS THE GDI PUMP WHICH WE THEN SCHEDULED TO HAVE REPLACED. SHORTLY BEFORE MY SCHEDULED REPLACEMENT THE DEALERSHIP CHANGED THEIR MIND & NOW SAID THAT THE PROBLEM WAS RELATED TO A CARBON BUILD UP & SUGGESTED THAT I USE TOP TIER GAS & A FUEL ADDITIVE @ 7,500 MILE INTERVALS, (TECHRON WAS RECOMMENDED), HOWEVER I'VE ALWAYS USED TOP TIER GAS, MOSTLY PURCHASED @ SHELL. DEALERSHIP THEN DECIDED THAT A FUEL SYSTEM FLUSH WAS THE WAY TO GO, WHICH THEY PERFORMED @ NO CHARGE IN AUGUST LAST YEAR. FLUS DIDN'T HELP & I CALLED DEALERSHIP AFTER TRAVELING LESS THAN 2 MILES AFTER THE FLUSH, THEY TOLD ME THAT IT WOULD TAKE A WHILE FOR THE NOISE TO GO AWAY & THE POWER LOSS TO WORK ITSELF OUT & RECOMMENDED TO CONTINUE USING THE TOP TIER GAS, AS I ALWAYS HAD & TO ADD THE TECHRON @ PRESCRIBED INTERVALS WHICH I DID. NOISE HAS NEVER GONE AWAY & POWER LOSS, (DEAD SPOT) IS STILL PREVALENT, MORE SO WHEN WARM. I CONTACTED THE DEALER AGAIN IN MAY OF THIS YEAR AS IT IS GETTING WORSE, ALSO OPENED A CASE WITH KIA CONSUMER CARE DEPT, WHICH I SHOULD'VE DONE RIGHT AT THE ONSET LAST YEAR. I'VE BEEN TOLD THE DEALERSHIP THAT IT IS A KNOWN PROBLEM & THAT NOTHING IS GOING TO FIX IT BUT THEY STILL WANT TO DO ANOTHER FUEL SYSTEM FLUSH WHICH THEY WANT ME TO PAY FOR. CCD HAS ONLY GIVING ME LIP SERVICE & TO DATE NOTHING HAS BEEN RESOLVED.

SERVICE BRAKES
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 WAS THAT ONLY ONE SIDE GAVE OUT SOONER THAN THE OTHER, WHEN IT FACT IT SHOULD BE THE FRONT ONES TO GIVE OUT FIRST AND THEN THE REAR ONES BUT NO, ONLY 1 SIDE FROM THE REAR GAVE OUT, THE FRONT ONES HAD REALLY GOOD PADDING LEFT. BUT THIS POSES A BIG ISSUE FOR ME, SAFETY ISSUE, FOR ME AND MY FAMILY WHEN WE ARE IN THE CAR, IT COULD LIGHT UP IN FLAMES, BURST MY TIRE, SPARK UP, PLEASE HELP. I HAD TO PUT THE USED BRAKE PADS FROM THE LEFT SIDE ONTO THE RIGHT SIDE TO AT LEAST HAVE SOME PADDING, NEW ONES CANNOT BE PLACED BECAUSE AS SOON AS I PLACE THE CLAMP TO PUSH THE PISTON IN, AND I REMOVE IT, IT COMES RIGHT OUT, IT SEEMS LIKE THERES SOME PRESSURE THERE. I DONT KNOW IF THIS IS TO BE COVERED IN THE WARRANTY BUT IM SURE THIS IS NOT ONLY HAPPENING TO ME, PLEASE HELP!!!!

UNKNOWN OR OTHER, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
I HAVE A COUPLE ISSUES WITH MY 2013 KIA RIO. THE FIRST ISSUE IS ACCELERATION. AROUND THE 30,000 MI MARK, I TOOK MY CAR TO HAVE THE RECOMMENDED SERVICE WHICH INCLUDED AN INDUCTION SVC. SINCE THEN MY CAR HAS NOT HAD THE SAME GOOD ACCELERATION ABILITY IT HAD WHEN I PURCHASED THE CAR. I'VE TAKEN THE CAR TO TWO DEALERSHIPS AND HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THIS IS JUST NORMAL WEAR ON THE CAR. THE SECOND IS SOMETHING WITH THE STARTER, BATTERY, ALTERNATOR, ETC. I USE THE WORD "SOMETHING" BECAUSE NO ONE HAS BEEN ABLE TO PINPOINT WHAT IS THE PROBLEM. I BOUGHT A NEW BATTERY ON MAY 18, 2015. POST THAT BATTERY PURCHASE, THE CAR DID NOT START ON JUNE 27, 2015 (I HAD TO GET A JUMP). THIS NO CRANK WAS POST A BATTERY, STARTER AND ALTERNATOR CHECK BY THE DEALERSHIP ON MAY 23, 2015. BY THE WAY, THE TESTS ALL CAME BACK FINDING NO FAULT. I HAD TWO MORE NO CRANK SITUATIONS ON JULY 19 AND AUGUST 2, 2015. I'VE TAKEN IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AFTER JULY 19 AND HAVE BEEN TOLD BY KIA THAT THIS WILL HAPPEN WHEN IT'S HOT. I DON'T BELIEVE THEM BECAUSE I BOUGHT THE CAR IN THE HELL OF ST. LOUIS, MO SUMMER AT 55 MILES IN 2012 AND DID NOT HAVE THIS RECURRENT PROBLEM UNTIL RECENTLY.

ENGINE
KIA RIO5 LX 2013 STARTED TO MAKE RATTLING / PINGING NOISE IN THE ENGINE AT 70000 MILES. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP WAS TOLD THEY CAN'T HEAR IT. THE NOISE STARTED TO GET LOUDER AT 89000 MILES BROUGHT IT BACK TO DEALERSHIP AND THE TECHNICIAN SAID IT'S BECAUSE OF EXCESSIVE CARBON. THEN WAS TOLD TO DO DECARB, REPLACE SERPENTINE BELT, FUEL TANK FILTER & SPARK PLUGS AND THE PINGING WOULD GO AWAY. THE PINGING WAS STILL THERE BUT NOT AS BAD AROUND 94000 MILES BROUGHT IT BACK FOR PINGING HAD THE TECHNICIAN RIDE WITH ME AND HE AGREED IT WAS PINGING ALL THE TIME NOW. THEY DID ANOTHER DECARB SYSTEM ON IT AND TOLD ME THAT ITS NORMAL THE CAR IS GOING TO PING AND I SHOULD RUN 91 OCTANE EVERY 4TH TANK OF GAS. AT 96000 MILES CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND IT'S KNOCK SENSOR CODE THEY HAD TO CALL NORTH AMERICA KIA & KOREA OF KIA LOOKING FOR ANSWER TO SEE WHAT THE PROBLEM IS WITH MY CAR. MY KIA WAS AT DCH KIA OF TEMECULA FOR 7 DAYS AND THEY STILL COULDN'T GIVE ANSWER WHY OR WHAT WAS WRONG WITH MY CAR. THEY JUST SAID IT WAS ONE OF THOSE ISSUE THAT EVERYONE WAS SCRATCHING THERE HEADS AT. THEY USED A TOP ENGINE CLEANER AND THE KNOCK SENSOR CODE HAS BEEN STABLE FOR NOW BUT THE PINGING IS STILL THERE. THEY JUST KEEP TELLING ME I DRIVE TO MUCH & TO USE CHEVRON TECHRON FUEL ADDITIVE PLUS EVERY 4TH TANK USE 91 OCTANE. I CALL KIA CONSUMER AFFAIRS AND WAS TOLD MY CASE IS GETTING PASSED ON TO ONE OF THERE ANALYZE. FINALLY THE ANALYZE CALLED ME I ASKED HIM IF HE HAD MY PAPER WORK HE SAID NO HE DIDN'T NEED IT HE TALKED TO THE TECHNICIAN AT KIA OF TEMECULA AND WANTED TO HEAR MY SIDE. I EXPLAINED TO HIM MY ISSUES AND THE ANALYZE NICK SAID SO IS THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON? REPLIED NO HE SAID SO IT'S FIXED THEN I EXPLAINED TO HIM NO SINCE KIA OF TEMECULA COULDN'T GIVE ME ANSWER WHY OR WHAT IS CAUSING THE ISSUES OF MY KIA RIO. NICK SAID HE WOULD CALL ME BACK, IT'S BEEN 2 WEEKS NO PHONE CALL BACK TO ME. *TR

STEERING
REQUESTING THAT NHTSA PLEASE AMPLIFY AND INVESTIGATE. STEERING WHEEL ON MY KIA RIO 2010 CAR STARTED SQUEAKING WHEN THE STEERING WHEEL IS TURNED EITHER LEFT OR RIGHT. POWER STEERING FLUID IS NORMAL AND THE CAR HAS NOT BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT. THERE MAY BE A CONNECTION IN REGARDS TO THE "CURRENT" RECALL IN REGARDS TO "AN IMPROPER APPLICATION OF THREAD-LOCKING ADHESIVE" THAT THE KIA SOULS HAVE. THERE IS "NUMEROUS" POSTINGS ON WEB SITES OF OWNERS COMPLAINING ABOUT THE SAME STEERING WHEEL SOUND ISSUE. THE STEERING WHEEL SOUND, IS NOT NORMAL AND IT IS WAY TOO MUCH OF A COINCIDENCE TO IGNORE. PLEASE PURSUE "DUE DILIGENCE" IN REGARDS TO THIS. THANK YOU. *TR
