All Forward Collision Avoidance Automatic Emergency Braking Complaints
Incident took place 1/31/26. I was pulling into my driveway at approximately 5 mph. Normally, as I approach the wooden driveway gate, sensors would begin to beep and I would be prompted to stop.The car normally would stop itself if a collision was imminent. This did not take place. Instead, the car picked up speed, smashed through the gate proceeded up the driveway, smashed through the garage door and the rear wall of the garage. I was alone and uninjured, but the structure was yellow tagged and there was severe damage to the contents. Airbags were not deployed. The car was towed to Caliber body shop in Santa Monica for repairs to the body. When this has been completed it will be taken to Kia of Santa Monica for analysis of the black box and braking system.
There are alot of electrical malfunctions including unnecessary and without warning emergency breaking that has injured me ( I temporarily have a rental car to recover from a right thoracic sprain, left hip contusion, and a right anterior chest contusion- I have medical documentation), the steering wheel jerking when no correction needed, the vehicle locking up on the tow truck driver, and a lot of different electrical malfunctions that seem to indicate a bigger problem. I have more evidence, but it would not let me submit more pictures.
