The electronic locks where finally replaced on the car this past Fall after dealing with issue with them since purchasing the car 6 years ago.

The key fobs were supposed to be replaced but at the last second, Kia denied their replacement and wanted to charge us full price for a warranty item”

“keyless entry periodically stops working. Thankfully, there is a way to override, but it's inconvenient”

“The remote start system is a factory installed third party system built by Audiovox. It was a part of the keyless entry system that failed with the electronic keyless locks. When the locks failed to work by key fob, the car would not start and had t be towed to the dealership to be repaired. If you were to use the manual key lock on the driver's side door, the panic alarm would go off and disable the car. The manual key lock on this vehicle is absolutely useless and cannot be used at any tim”

“Ball joints should not fail at 100000 units are too small for the weight class”

“Upper shock mounts bind when you turn the vehicle so loud grinding noise. Kia acknowledges the problem and has redesigned the connection and recommend that it be replaced, but not as a recall item. Cost about $400 dollars to have done is an excess burden for a design problem!”

“Had to replace the struts on the front. Kia had paid for only one under warranty and I had to subsequently replace the second strut shortly after the warranty ran out even though it had been 'sweating ' prior”
