WHEN BELOW FREEZING, DOORS AND LOCKS CONSISTENTLY FREEZE, AND WILL NOT ALLOW ENTRY OR WILL NOT CLOSE PROPERLY (DOORS WILL NOT CLOSE). THIS HAS HAPPENED EVERY YEAR I HAVE OWNED THE CAR. THIS PAST YEAR, THE KIA DEALER TRIED TO FIX, AND ONLY IMPROVED FOR A FEW DAYS (LUBRICATE/OIL ETC). USUALLY HAD TO "WARM UP" CAR FOR ABOUT 15 MINUTES TO DEFROST LOCK JUST TO BE ABLE TO CLOSE DOORS (I TRIED TO NOT LOCK CAR ONCE WINTER BEGINS). THE LOCKS ARE FROZEN DAILY AND CANNOT LOCK OR UNLOCK UNTIL INTERIOR IS WARMED UP. NOT LOOKING FORWARD TO WINTER AGAIN.*AK

BRAKE PADS AND ROTORS HAVE BEEN REPLACED 4 TIMES IN LESS THAN 1YEAR AND AT 30,335 MILES RIGHT NOW, SERVICE DEPARTMENT FIGHTS WITH US EACH TIME WE BRING CAR IN. CAR DOES NOT START UP RIGHT AWAY, IT TURNS A FEW TIMES BEFORE IT FINALLY DOES, TOOK TO SERVICE DEPARTMENT 2 TIMES, THEY ARE UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE PROBLEM. WHEN DRIVING AT TIMES WHEN YOU STEP ON GAS CAR HESITATES TO GO, ALMOST LIKE IT IS OUT OF GAS, BUT IT IS NOT. AFTER 2MTHS. OF USING AIRCONDITIONER THIS SUMMER, IT COMPLETELY STOPPED WORKING, TOOK TO SERVICE DEPARTMENT, DIAGNOSED WITH LEAKY "O" RINGS, THEY REPAIRED UNDER WARRANTY. REAR DOORS WHEN OPENING HIT THE EDGE OF CLOSED FRONT DOORS, SERVICE DEPARTMENT SAID THEY NEEDED NEW DOOR STOPPERS, HAVEN'T GOT THEM YET.*AK
