Which model years have the most problems and which are safe to buy.
Avoid These Years
2021 Kia K5
233 complaints (170% of segment average)
Main issue: When filling up the gas tank on 3 separate occasions the station pump failed to cut off causing fuel to leak unto the surrounding surface. The Kia K 5 is leased vehicle that I entered into contract in July 2021. The car was used as a demo and I find it suspicious that the dealership wasn’t aware of
2022 Kia K5
205 complaints (150% of segment average)
Main issue: On December 28th 2022 between the 6:30 am to 8:00 my car was parked and caught on fire. I have filed a complaint with Kia and since then I have gotten the run around about them looking into the vehicle and seeing what cause the issue. My car was still under the manufacture warranty
