Was driving to work on freeway and a deer jumped out in front of car, i hit it between 65-70 mph and not one of the many airbags installed on this brand new car deployed . The police officer at the scene said i'm lucky to be alive.
I was traveling 45 mph in my 2021 k5 gt line when an older toyota camry crossed my path. I applied brakes but there was no avoiding the collision. I broadsided the camry at somewhere between 30 and 35 mph. I sustained injuries to both knees, neck and back. Air bags did not deploy. Police, wrecker driver and body shop (in thier previous experiences) all say they are surprised the air bags were not triggered being the fact it was a frontal collision. Another concern is the folding seat behind the driver's side broke free of the latch and folded itself down. That seat has never been folded down or even sat in for that matter, so i know for a fact it was latched. Sad to say my beautiful brand new k5 that i have had for 2 months now has close to $13,000 damage. Most importantly, i am now scared to drive this thing. What if this happens again?

On march 29, 2022 i took it to the dealer ship and i was notified that my engine cover came off and was the cause of the noise. There's damage to my driver side fender, rubbing to the wheel/tire and my fog light housing is hanging.
While driving the vehicle and after it is parked and engine is turned off the cooling system ( coolant reservoir on upper right side of engine are) allows antifreeze vapors and high pressure to escape into engine area. When parking in a garage there is a very strong smell of coolant. Dealer has verified that the radiator cap appears to act as a vent allowing vapors to escape the system.

When filling up the gas tank on 3 separate occasions the station pump failed to cut off causing fuel to leak unto the surrounding surface. The kia k 5 is leased vehicle that i entered into contract in july 2021. The car was used as a demo and i find it suspicious that the dealership wasnā€™t aware of the issue. The dealership is replacing the gas tank at no cost to me.
Transmission requires total replacement within 5 days of purchase of new car.vehicle was parked when transmission fluid leak was discovered.it was driven back to the dealer, which is nearby, but this experience has shaken our faith in the safety and build quality of this 2021 kia k5 gt-line.

Purchased new kia k5 lxs few months ago. Originally warning lights appeared on dashboard. At first windows would come down intermittently. Now my windows won't come down at all. My headlights flicker and turn off at night. Car sounds like it's powering down at times. Contacted dealership a number of times. Alerted dealership of problems and concerns via phone and during service. Met with indifference and treated like they hadn't talked to me regarding latest concerns. This shouldn't happen to any vehicle especially when purchased brand new.
Sunroof exploded while driving. Only had the car 2 months.

I was traveling at approximately 40-45 mph, another vehicle crossed in my path, and i broadsided his vehicle. I am not sure of my speed at impact. I would guess 30 mph. Airbags did not deploy. The rear drivers side seat also came unlatched, folding itself down. There were no other passengers in the vehicle.
My 2021 kia k5 developed a chip after a small pebble hit the windshield. By the time i got home(an hour and a half later) the chip caused a crack across three quarters of the windshield. The dealer and kia corporate will not admit the problem even though there have been numerous complaints on the telluride model and now several complaints documented on the new k5.
