I own a 2019 Kia Sportage LX purchased in September 2019 in Monterrey, Mexico, and I am facing several quality issues that I consider unacceptable for a vehicle of this age and segment. The chrome on the interior buttons started to peel in 2024, the steering wheel logo completely faded around mid‑20...

On December 2, 2025, my Kia Rio was towed to the Antalya Kia Esay authorized service center due to a no-start issue.

I own a Kia EV6 and on 01/12/2025 I had its periodic maintenance done at Kia Baykaralar authorized service. For this maintenance, in which only the pollen filter and hydraulic brake fluid were changed, I was charged ₺15,000. I find this amount extremely excessive for such a limited operation. I also...

For about a year, I have been experiencing a melting problem with the rear door seals of my 2013 Kia Rio. What started as a minor issue gradually worsened, and now when we touch the seals, our hands get stained black—they are literally melting and smearing. This is not something unique to my car; ma...

On July 29, 2024, we purchased a brand-new Kia Sportage 2024.

As a result, our speed d...

I took my 2023 Kia Stonic to Gaziantep Kia Dicle Service for the 10,000 km maintenance and paid about ₺8,000 for it.

On July 26, 2025, my 2023 model Kia Xceed suddenly began losing power and stalling while driving. I contacted Kia roadside assistance, and they directed me to the Kia Globals dealership.

I bought a Kia Stonic from 2020, and I've had one problem after another since the day I got it. When we originally acquired the car, they told us there was a problem with the ignition, but I didn't think it would get this bad. Every time I turn the key, the engine shakes like it's going to fall apar...

I bought my 2020 Kia Sportage car from Kia's Trabzon authorized dealer in 2021. About two months after the vehicle was received, and for the next two years, it regularly gave an exhaust emission error once a month. In the case of a problem that gives the same error more than once and cannot be repai...

I purchased my Kia vehicle brand new in 2024, and within less than a year, I have had to bring it to the service center 5 times for the same recurring issue.

I own a Kia Stonic 2020 1.4 MPI Elegance Design, and I am experiencing a serious issue with the transmission.

I purchased a brand-new Kia EV3, and shockingly, the vehicle developed an ICCU (Integrated Charging Control Unit) failure after driving only 400 kilometers. This is completely unacceptable for a newly purchased electric car. My vehicle has now been in the service center for 20 days, and I still have...

In February 2025, I purchased a brand-new Kia EV6 Elegance electric vehicle from the Gebze Nazer Kia authorized dealer.
