A silver piller price of trim flew off on the highway in the rear. A lot of Kia k5 owners have experienced this and it could fly off and hit someone on the highway. Transmission is super jerky and can sometimes lose power I’ve also known a lot of people that have similar issues with the kind of transmission in the k5 GT 2022

I have replaced the Engine Splash on my Kia K5 twice and need to get it replaced again. This item is poorly made and it was replaced the two times from Kia at over $500.

This is a very expensive repair here are the dates of repairs 02/2023, 04/2024 and the date of the incident that is still needing to be repaired 03/2025.

While accelerating in response to a green light I made a right hand turn and as I accelerated up to the speed limit of 55 mph I heard and felt a very loud “bang or pop”.

The saga continues with this particular vehicle, which Goose Creek Mitsubishi failed to disclose had experienced prior accidents, major parts damages, repairs, & replacements. So much so, the frame & body works of the entire vehicle have been quite compromised. The most recent sign of their attempted repairs & replacements, due to undisclosed front & side impact damages, is the entire front bumper, which became fully detached, while in transit. On the way, to & from my wife's surgery, we passed through some uneven pavement sections, along a construction zone, between Barnwell, SC & Aiken, SC, on August 11. As we reached my son's school & entered the parking lot, I began to hear sounds from the front end of the vehicle. By the time we pulled into a parking spot, all but one corner of the bumper had become detached & was lying on the ground. I didn't have...

Glass between windshield and sunroof spontaneously shattered while parked in private driveway. There was no impact, the car had not been driven for two days, it was just parked and the glass busted. It is unknown if water will cause a problem with leaking into the cabin of the vehicle.

My coworker and myself we on the highway, we heard a loud boom and the door swung open. I called the dealership Freddy Kia on the gulf frwy. They said they could not do anything about it, I have to call the service department. I called told the girl what happened she put me on hold after 1hr I hung up. I called again she put me on hold again. I didn’t call back. I need this checked out what can I do? What if I had my grand child in the back and that door did the same. I have not even made a first payment on this vehicle. Can I return the vehicle I do not feel safe in it.
