What owners wrote
From 2nd week we complained of engine noise. Each time no problem was found. Few months later ck engine came on. A spark plug was replaced. 1 month later ck engine light on again. New fuel injector. 2 days later ck engine light again. Needed new motor at 3800 miles. 1 week later caught on fire in our garage. Kia regional management chris butler said they would repair damages from fire but had no concern that our 6 month old van with only 3800 miles already had the motor replace and caught on fire.
The car was parked in front of the house. A neighbor knocked on the door and told us that the kia was on fire. No one was in the car at that time. The engine compartment was totally burned up. The car gave me no other problems.
