About 3 mths ago started using oil 3 qts extra the went to a qt a week, now using a quart every other day, have had people check. cant find out where oil is going, have parked it, also, airbag light came on about 4mths ago, kia rio has 114,000. the caliber froze up at 88,000 the brake pads kept wearing on left side, now the right starting to wearing more...i have the gold autoguard warranty up to 120,000 with hendrick chevrolet, took it in on appt. day n time, had 30 cars ahead. i have also learned. carfax on cars are not true, this car was noted with no damage or wrecks, but i have seen on left side of car, marks of junk yard parts, even on back window. reason for parking car bc its costing to much for oil, also my grandbaby is always with me in this 2012 kia rio, this car isnt worth her life, no car is...oh on carfax it state's its an ex then on second page it state's a lx, which understand mite be type error but when it state's no damage or wreck, thats a big error. never got check oil light not one time, new it wnor a check engine light, only light was and is the airbag light.
I have a 2012 kia rio and over the last 2 months the oil light spontaneously comes on and turns off while driving. i took it into a kia dealership and they did a consumption test which indicated the engine is consuming a lot of oil. i was told i need a brand new engine. this car was purchased new, currently has 112k miles (mostly highway) on it. the dealership offered me nothing. they want to charge me for a brand new engine with a 6m /12m warranty costing me $3900 / $4400 for repair or an engine w 95k miles for $3600 / $3900 for repair. i can't afford that and the dealership told me to just keep checking the oil and refill as needed. what kind of service is that?!?!?! city kia orlando - this is ludicris!!!!! what can i do to get some assistance in getting another car. this car is less than 10yrs old and is in good condition with normal wear and tear. i have smelled smoke a couple of times but attributed it to the outdoors. i used my car daily and although i do not usually travel far from home i have my kids with me 99% of the time. can you help me? i saw on the news 6 just this morning about kia car engine fires. i am a single mom with 3 kids at home 5-17yrs old. i work 10hr days and making just enough to make ends meet. your advice is greatly appreciated.
Engine failure will driving on the highway. engine started knocking and oil leaked out of the car and it blew up.
Tl* the contact owns a 2012 kia rio. while driving approximately 65 mph, the contact heard a thumping noise and black smoke emerged from the tail pipe. also, the oil warning indicator illuminated and the vehicle started to lose power until it stalled. the vehicle was towed to the dealer (southside kia, 9401 atlantic boulevard, jacksonville, florida 32225) where it was diagnosed that the engine failed. the vehicle was repaired. the manufacturer was notified of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 120,000.
Driving car at about 60 mph and car began to smoke. got out on side of highway lifted hood and everything was on fire. people assing by along with hero and fire dept made sure flames were put out . i never made any modification to vehicle and we keep it serviced. feel like problems are with manufacture wiring. i have done insurance claim and contacted manufacture. the miles are aprox 102k
Got up early one morning to go to work, started my car, let it run for 2 minutes and put it in reverse and it moved without me pressing on the gas petal and i was parked down hill.now my car starts sometimes and sometimes it won't. it doesn't do it all the time, but it still needs to be repaired. i wanted to know were there a recall on my car for these problems.i haven't took it to a shop to be checked yet, spend enough money on car payments to have to fix my own car and it's under warranty
This car has a tendency to rev up to the red line on the tach - sometimes when you start it, sometimes when you are in traffic, sometimes when you are stopped at a traffic signal. i have witnesses to this fact and it is making me feel very unsafe when i am driving it. i almost got in two accidents because of this condition. it may appear if i am driving down the highway a couple times this occurred and the only way that this is remedied is turning off the ignition and restarted it, sometimes you have to do this 2 or 3 times. other times it will happen when you start the engine it will go right to the top of the tach if you do not turn off ignition. it has also happened at a traffic light stop i felt the car increasing in revs while i was stopped, thank god i turned off the ignition before it crashed into the car in front of me. i have idea when it will occur. i looked on the web and found other instances of kia owners having the same problem. it has been back at the dealership where i purchased it, twice, new and they tell me they cannot change any parts unless the problem can be duplicated. i filed a complaint with kia on line and no response except take it back to the dealer! i want the problem repaired i do not care what they have to do to make it safe as it stands now it is a hazard to drive and an accident waiting to happen! it sometimes also feels like you have speed control as you are going down the highway it will speed up. i just want it repaired! *tr
I filled up with gas and was leaving the gas station. i hit the accelerator to pull out and the car didn't go. it idled out into traffic, on the road but it wouldn't go. it took about 3-4 seconds before it would take off. since then it has happened multiple times. it mostly happens when the engine is at operating temp and you stop for a couple of minutes. *tr
My 2012 kia rio caught fire the other day. i pulled into the driveway, went into the house to put my laptop down. i had shut the car off. came back out to grab some stuff from the trunk and the car was smoking from the hood. thought it had overheated. pulled hood release and went to open the hood when i realized flames were coming from the right side of the engine area. tried putting the fire out with a garden hose & was instructed by 911 to get away from the vehicle. car ended up bursting into flames. fire department had to come and extinguish. called kia and they are taking their time at responding. i am concerned that this may be a bigger problem and effect more people. putting lives at risk for injury and possible death. *tr
