It’s time for another fire-risk recall from the Korean duo! Yet another problem for their infamous decade of vehicles '10-'19 roughly. Skipping immobilizers, undersized wiring (fire), leaking brake fluid (fire), garbage GDI 4-cyl engines (fire), leaking high pressure fuel pumps (fire), trailer wiring defects (fire) and more just weren’t enough. Now another brake fluid leak in the braking system can cause another short and cause a fire.
The “fix” is a fuse replacement. It doesn’t fix the actual leak so it’s a band-aid at best. But also par for the course for the duo.
Yeah, newer Kia’s are… Alright I guess? But it used to be so bad that mechanics would joke that “KIA” was short for “Killed In Action” because they’d tow so many in from the sides of highways.
Can confirm called that here as well. My parents owned a 2003. Worst car they owned. Currently, My neighbors 2018 had been in the shop nearly every month this year.
