Kia Complaints
17,276 complaints across 100 models. 731 crash reports.
Owners have filed 17,276 complaints with NHTSA against 15 Kia models in our index, covering model years 2015 to 2025. 731 of those reports describe a crash.
The problem areas owners report most often across Kia vehicles are engine (8,666), other (2,020) and electrical (1,381). A high count on a widely sold model is not by itself evidence of a defect — complaints scale with how many cars are on the road, and NHTSA publishes them unverified, as filed.
The most-reported single model year here is the 2016 Kia Sorento, with 1,240 complaints, 29 of them citing a crash. Open any model year below for the individual reports and the components involved.
