2014 Kia Cadenza

The rear wheel cracked and I had to have it repaired, and the vehicle has been making a ticking noise for 3 years and the Dealer in Colorado Springs told me don’t worry about it , it was a common noise, that was 2020. Now I have found out that the tension pulley and/or the timing tension pulley is bad . How is this a common problem? They want to replace my engine. Not to mention the problem that all KIA’S have the steering coupler that is going out. How are these not all recall problems as I have found on your site multiple complaints of the same nature.

The contact owns a 2014 Kia Cadenza. The contact stated he noticed an abnormal rattling sound while driving at various speeds however, he was unsure where the sound was coming from. The contact stated that he felt as if the windshield was not securely seated within the frame of the vehicle. The contact stated that the windshield would move whenever it was manually touched. The contact stated he attempted to reach a representative at a dealer but had not received a callback. The manufacturer was not contacted. The approximate failure mileage was 30,000.

Power brake booster check valve has failed twice since purchasing the vehicle new. Shortly after purchase, within the first month, the brake booster would loose vacuum after as little as an hour after driving. It progressed to occasional hard pedal during braking after acceleration. The dealer replaced it under warranty. The same problem arrose last month, April 2021 at 61,000 miles. The dealer said it is no longer covered and they would charge a diagnostic fee and I would have to pay for parts and labor. This is a safety concern that based on internet searches is happening to others. The replacement Part # 591391C200 Brake Vacuum Hose Connector and is currently unavailable from Kia and I had to purchase it from Hyundai.

POP UP WIND SCREEN LOCATED AT FRONT OF PANORAMIC ROOF BECAME RUSTED THROUGH . FOR SOME REASON THE ENGINEERS CHOSE FERROUS MATERIAL THAT IS CONSTANTLY EXPOSED TO MOISTURE AND HIGH HUMIDITY AT ALL TIMES . THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS , AS THE WINDSCREEN IS SUBJECT TO VERY HIGH STRESS AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS . THIS CORROSION CAN CAUSE THE PART TO FAIL AND INTRUDED UPON THE CABIN OF THE VEHICLE INJURING OCCUPANTS

PARKING BRAKE USED ON DECLINE TO PARK AT STORE PARKING LOT WHEN TRIED TO RELEASE TO MOVE FORWARD WOULD NOT ENGAGE. PER MANUAL RELEASED FOR A FEW YARDS THEN AUTOHOLD YELLOW WARNING LIGHT & ABS WARNING LIGHT CAME ON AFTER LOUD BRAKE NOISE & SMOKE BUT AUTO HOLD LOCKED BRAKES IMMEDIETLY UNABLE TO MOVE EVEN IF I WANTED TO.

SINCE THE PURCHASED OF MY 2014 KIA CADENZA IN 2016, I'VE HAD MAJOR ISSUES. I'VE TAKEN IT TO KIA FOR REGULAR MAINTENANCE AND FOR ISSUES I'VE DISCOVERED AND NO ONE COULDN'T FIND THE ISSUE. HOWEVER, THE ISSUE WAS DISCOVERED WHEN THE WARRANTY WAS EXPIRED. THE CAR CONSTANTLY STOPS ON THE EXPRESSWAY IN HIGH TRAFFIC, I ALMOST GOT HIT SEVERAL TIMES DUE TO THE CAR AUTOMATICALLY CUTTING OFF WITH NO WARNING. AFTER MULTIPLE CALLS & EMAILS, THE DEALER FIXED THE THROTTLE BODY; HOWEVER, I'VE HAD CONTINUOUS ISSUES SUCH AS BURNING SMELLS AND WHITE SMOKE. SAME DEALER IGNORED ME AND TOLD ME IT WAS BECAUSE OF LEAVES BURNING IN THE VENT. DECEMBER 2020, I WAS TOLD THE CAR NEED A ENGINE. KIA WILL NOT COVER IT BECAUSE THERE'S NO RECALLS ON THIS VIN; HOWEVER, OTHER OWNERS WITH SAME MAKE/MODEL SHOW RECALLS. DOES SOMEONE IN MY FAMILY NEED TO DIE UNTIL SOMEONE TAKES THIS ISSUE SERIOUSLY AND ASSUME ACCOUNTABILITY. IT'S EVIDENT I WAS SOLD A DEFECTED CAR AND LIKE MOST WOMEN CAR BUYERS, DEALERS/MECHANICS, THINK WE DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT CARS SO THEY GIVE US FALSE INFORMATION AND TURN US AWAY THEN TELL US WHAT IS NEEDED WHEN THE WARRANTY EXPIRES.
