Read complaints for KIA NIRO (2017)
This car has been in the dealership 8 times since i purchased it in february 2017. The airbag sensors were defective and repaired. The car malfunctions over a bridge constantly on my way to work. Kia doesn't know why it does this. The latest issue is the transmission failing in traffic and there being no acceleration. I've been in a lot of unsafe situations because of these issues. Kia corporation has been involved and a tech has been flown out to investigate my car. I'm currently suing them to repurchase it as a lemon. This could be the beginning of issues with this model. They have had airbag and electrical issues with several other models historically. No one can tell me why my car keeps breaking down. I have several invoices and pictures.
The air bags didn't deploy when i was rear ended and totaled my car.. While.sitting and waiting for green lighton a road(stationary).the new kia are not safe. If you are rear ended.theres no protection.the air bags don't work even if you get hit at 35 mph.i am complaining to make the consumers to be aware of the kia brand.that they are not testing cars on rear end collisions.my car was only 6 months old.i hope you investigate this and make cars more safer.

I have tried on three occasions to have this recall fixed.each time,i left the car with the dealer, waited all day and was told that the work wasn't done because that they has to order the part.the first time, covina kia, sent me an e-mail telling me that i had cancelled the appointment, when they cancelled it because they couldn't get the part.the second time, the part was supposed to be in stock but was again not available.the last time was with citrus kia.i called kia customer care, reported the problem and was promised that it would be resolved.as of this date it hasn't.i believe, kia is stalling this recall because they don't keep parts in stock.currently, i have to wait until feb. 6, to have thework done.thisis los angeles with thousands of cars. I am especially suspicious of the e-mail as it made me look like i had cancelled the appointment.

2 door handle cover broke under normal use.
Passager door handle completely came apart while trying to open the door; rendering the door inoperable. In an emergency, this can leave a passenger stuck if the driver or first responders cannot access them.there is a service bulletin (tsbbod173) issued for this problem but due to the safety hazard, this should be a full recall.a search of the internet shows this is not an isolated issue.
