Is My Kia A Lemon?

You may have a lemon Kia if your car has recurring problems that affect its safety, value, or use. A lemon Kia is a vehicle that does not meet warranty standards and cannot be fixed by the authorized dealer after a reasonable number of attempts. If your Kia is a lemon, you may be eligible for a buyback, replacement, or cash settlement under state and federal laws. You may also get your attorney fees and costs paid by the manufacturer. To find out if your Kia is a lemon and what your rights are, contact a qualified lemon law attorney today.

Known Kia Lemon Law Issues

If you have a Kia that has been repeatedly fixed for the same problem, you may have a lemon. The lemon law covers new and used Kias that are bought or leased. The problem must affect the safety, use, or value of the vehicle significantly. A lemon law lawyer can help you determine if your Kia qualifies as a lemon. Some of the Kia models that have had lemon law cases are Kia Amante, Kia Cadenza, Kia Forte, Kia Optima, Kia Rio, Kia Sedona, Kia Sorento, Kia Soul, Kia Spectra, and the Kia Sportage.

Some of the common problems with these Kias are:

• Damaged wire harness that may cause airbags to not deploy; increasing the risk of injury in a crash
• Electrical short with the printed circuit board (PCB) that can result in a fire; increasing the risk of injury
• Fire from the Hydraulic Electronic Control Unit (HECU) that might occur while parked or driving; increasing the risk of injury
• Impaired “fail-safe” limited-mobility drive mode that can cause a complete loss of drive power; increasing the risk of a crash
• Incorrectly installed airbags that might not deploy properly; increasing the risk of injury in a crash
