About These NHTSA Complaints:
The NHTSA is the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints can be spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem. See the Back button — blue bar at the very top of the page — to explore more.
The hubs were cracked and wheel bearing was gone, causing a total loss of brakes which resulted in an accident. Kia has done nothing to help.

Vehicle is sold as sutomatic four wheel drive, encouraging drivers to drive in hazardous conditions. When I realized that indeed I did not have automatice four wheel, (resulting from going off the road and getting stuck in snow bank) the dealer stated that the manufacturer knows that this problem exists with this vehicle. I was given manual hubs as a "fix". my problem is that 1) this is not what I bought. 2) the safety implications of the manufacturer not notifying owners of the problem. 3) safety issues with having to dismount vehicle in bad weather to change hubs.
