One common problem with Kia cars is engine-related issues, particularly in older models with the Theta II engine. Some of these engines were prone to excessive oil consumption or even failure due to manufacturing defects, leading to recalls and extended warranties from Kia.
Another issue I’ve seen is premature wear on brake components, like pads and rotors, especially in heavily used vehicles. That said, Kia has made significant improvements in quality over the years, and regular maintenance can prevent most problems. Overall, they’re reliable cars, but like any brand, keeping up with routine care and addressing issues early is the best way to keep them running strong.
