Complaint

FUEL SYSTEM, OTHER
CONTACT STATES: THE DEALER DESCRIBED THE PROBLEM AS A FUEL COMPATIBILITY/TEMPERATURE PROBLEM. CONTACT SAYS THAT THE VEHICLE RUNS ROUGH WHEN COLD, AND THAT IT CUTS OUT WHEN CHANGING GEARS. DEALER RECOMMENDED THAT HE WOULD LET HIS VEHICLE WARM UP BEFORE HE BEGINS TO DRIVE, AND HE ALWAYS DOES. HOWEVER, PROBLEM RECURRED. DEALER FIXED THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN SHOP SEVERAL TIMES FOR WARRANTY WORK. NO PRIOR WARNING TO THE FAILURE.*AK

AIR BAGS
I HAVE A 2008 KIA RIO. THE AIR BAG LIGHT ON THE DASH CAME ON MAY 30, 2011. THE DEALERSHIP SAYS THE AIR BAGS WILL NOT WORK WITH THIS LIGHT ON. THE CAR HAS 77,000 MILES ON IT AND THE KIA DEALERSHIP SAYS THAT THE AIRBAG SYSTEM IS NOT COVERED AFTER 60,000 MILES. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT I WOULD HAVE TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE PASSENGER SIDE SEAT TO GET THE NEW SENSOR NEEDED AT A COST OF OVER $500. FOR WHAT I HAVE READ ON INTERNET FORUMS, THE AIRBAG SYSTEM SENSORS AND/OR WIRES TO THE SYSTEM MALFUNCTIONING ON THE 2008 KIA RIO SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM, IN ADDITION TO OTHER MODELS. WHEN I SPOKE WITH THE DEALERSHIP IN ATHENS, GA, THEY INDICATED I COULD JUST WEAR MY SEAT BELT. I BELIEVE KIA NEEDS TO CONSIDER A RECALL. *TR
