KIA equipment problems
Owners have filed 402 complaints with NHTSA about the equipment on KIA vehicles — 100% of everything reported about the brand, across 21 models. The model that accounts for most of them is the KIA Sportage, worst in 1998.
These are raw counts. A model that sold in millions appears near the top for that reason alone — the grade never compares one model with another.
