Not the car of your dreams

Had the car less than a year, barley even driven. Less than 5k miles and has been in the shop for almost a month. Can’t figure out what’s wrong with it. “fixed it” and called me to come pick it up and was still not fixed. Every light in the dashboard is on, car will not shift into drive or reverse, keys will not work. So far they replaced the entire fuse block to attempt to fix the issue. Car was completely dead when trying to pick it up, saying it was fixed. Have a feeling this is a Lemon and will be exploring my legal options.

Test drive of the Seltos

Test drove the top end model SX as my lease for my 2017 Tucson is up come August. Seltos exterior looks sharp and interior is Nice looking.Didnt care for the ride on a bumpy road but on smooth pavement rides Nice. Didn’t think the front seats are that comfortable.No power seat for passenger, No power lift gate and has a small gas tank 13 gals.Think the Kia Soul has a larger Gas tank . Think being the top end model Should have those features! In general I would rate it as follows Exterior 9 out of 10 Interior 8 Comfort 7 Ride 5 on crappy pavement 8 on nice pavement So I have 2 months to decide and have others to test drive. The dual clutch transmission on the Tucson is terrible and this vehicle has the same set up and engine. You can still tell It’s dual clutch but better .

LEFT STRANDED 7 times in 3 months

had the first 2021 seltos on the road in my city, all was good for the first 9 months, then door lock horn and car horn don't work in cold weather, can't get drive mode into eco, stays normal so gas mileage is not good, but most concerning is getting into my car, driving a short distance to my destination, turn off the car and spend 10 to 20 minutes shopping or whatever, get back in to go to next destination, CAR IS DEAD, no sound, no lights on the dash...nothing STRANDED, I try to turn over again and again until 2 orange lights on the right side light up, I put the gas pedal to the floor and pump until it starts, and go home. Over 5 weeks, this happens 6 times, I take it to the dealer and they replace the battery. One month later, it happened again and my seltos has been in the shop for 2 weeks, I told them I don't want it back until they solve and repair. Only 9700 kms Otherwise I was pleased with most everything about my seltos, but I am a senior with a support dog who travels with me, and I NEED to be safe and feel safe when I get behind the wheel. Time will tell, because so far the kia techs at my dealership can't replicate the problem and kia head office are also involved now, apparently this is a unique complaint,
