2014 KIA CADENZA Complaints

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.

ON COLD START THERE IS A CLICKING NOISE WHICH IS COMING FROM THE TIMING CHAIN TENSIONER. WHEN I LOOK IT UP IT TELLS ME THE YEARS THAT WERE AFFECTED WERE 2014-2016. EVEN THOUGH IT WAS SUCH A COMMON ISSUE WHY WAS THERE NO RECALL ON IT TO BE REPLACED?

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. I HAVE BEEN CHECKING FOR RECALLS THERE IS ONE ON HYUNDAI & KIA THAT COULD BE SIMILAR BUT NOT ON THIS CAR HAD DEALR CHECK BRAKES 5500 MILES B4?

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.

MY KIA CADENZA HAS PANORAMIC SUNROOF. WHILE I WAS DRIVING I HEARD LOUD BOMB EXPLOSION NOISE AND THE SUNROOF EXPLODED. I ALMOST LOST CONTROL BUT LUCKILY NO ACCIDENT HAPPEND.

PARKING BRAKE GOT STUCK WAS ABLE TO DISENGAGE AFTER LOOKING AT MANUAL INSTRUCTIONS % SEVRAL ATTEMPTS ATTEMPTED TO DRIVE PB WENT OFF THEN THE AUTOHOLD LIGHT IN YELLOW AND ABS WENT ON. STILL ON ATTEMPTED PER INSTRRCTIONS TO DISENGAGE THE AUTO HOLD ..YOU TUBE INDICATED YELLOW HOLD MEANS TAKE TO SHOP/DEALER. ALSO ON KIA FORUM OTHERS HAVE HAD SIMILAR ISSUES ONE TOOK TO DEALER & DEALER ADVISED NEEDED BRAKE WORK. THE KIA FORUM SAID THAT WAS NOT SO IT WAS A SYSTEM ERROR OR SWITCH ERROR BUT IT LOCKS OF THE CAR BRAKES WHICH HAPPENED TO OTHERS & MYSELF LASTNIGHT THEY HAD TO TOW BACKWORDS CAUSE FRONT BRAKES LOCKED WOULD ONLY ALLOW REAR TOWING. MY HUSBAND WANTED TO CHECK BRAKES FIRST & BUT WHAT I FOUND OUT ON KIA FORUM THIS HAS BEEN MAJOR ISSUES WITH OTHERS AT AROUND 36000 MILES PLUS I HAVE 44080. I HAVE THE DEALER DO ALL THE SERVICING NEVER MISS OIL CHANGES I WAS ABOUT TO SCHEDULE MY NEXT. THEY ALSO DO INSPECTIONS & TIRE ROTATION. I FOUND OUT THEY HAVE NOT BEEN DOING ROTATIONS EVEN THOUGH THE PRICE I PAID INCLUDED IT. THERE ARE OTHER INSTANCES THE DEALER HAS MISSED THE MARK. & THEY ARE BETTER THAN MY LAST DEALER. IF THAT SENDS A MESSAGE. IF OTHERS ARE HAVING ISSUES WHY IS THIS NOT A WARANTEE FIX OR RECALL? I ALREADY HAD THE PARKING BRAKE SENSOR REPLACED ONCE WHEN IT FAILED .. THE DEALER SHOULD HAVE MY INFORMATION. I CAN CONTACT THEM . BUT THIS AUTO HOLD YELLOW SEEMS TO BE NORMAL AT THIS MILEAGE ACCORDING TO OTHERS AT THE KIA FORUM. IT HAPPENED LAST NIGHT 12-5-2020 300PM- BECAUSE OF ISSUES TOW TRUCK DRIVER DID NOT DELIVER TO MY HOUSE TILL 716. HUSBAND WILL CHECK BRAKING SYSTEM ACCORDING TO KIA FORUM ISSUE WITH DIRT & MOISTURE GETTING INTO BRAKE SYSTEM WHICH CAUSES AUTO HOLD TO LOCK UP BRAKING SYSTEM.

I HAVE LOOSENESS IN MY STEERING FEELS LIKE IT'S SLIPPING AND I HEARING KNOCKING AND WHEN I'M DRIVING AND I BREAK I FEEL MY WHEELS SHAKING AND ON I AM CAR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 KIA CADENZA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING ON A SLIGHT ELEVATION, A LOUD CLICKING NOISE WAS HEARD FROM THE STEERING COLUMN. THERE WAS NO WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE DEALER WAS NOT CALLED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 100,000.

BACKED INTO A PARKING SPOT AND ENGAGED THE EPB. I HEARD THE USUAL MOTOR SOUND EXCEPT IT KEPT SOUNDING FOR ABOUT 30 SECONDS. I DISENGAGED THE EPB AND PUT THE CAR IN DRIVE TO PULL FORWARD AND THE AUTO HOLD AND ELECTRICAL POWER BRAKE (EPB) GOT STUCK AND WOULD NOT RELEASED ALTHOUGH IT WAS NOT SHOWING ON THE DASH AS ACTIVE AND THEN, I TRIED TO GO FORWARD AND THE AUTO HOLD AND EPB LIGHTS CAME ON AND WERE AMBER. I TURNED THE CAR OFF WAITED A FEW MINUTES HOPING FOR A RESET AND TURN THE CAR ON AND THE AUTO HOLD AND EPB WERE NO LONGER DISPLAYED. I AGAIN PUT IT IN DRIVE AND THE BREAK WAS STILL STUCK. I ENGAGED THE EPB AND THEN DIS ENGAGED IT AND IT STINKS WAS STUCK. I TRIED TO GO FORWARD AND IT WAS STUCK AND THEN THE EPB, AUTO HOLD, TRACTION CONTROL, AND ABS LIGHTS CAME ON AMBER AND STAYED AMBER. MY CAR WAS LITERALLY INOPERABLE AND HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. APPARENTLY THIS IS A KNOW ISSUE AND THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL. SEARCHING THE WEB, I FOUND THIS ISSUE WITH MULTIPLE KIA MAKES AND THE MANAGER AND SERVICE AGENT BOTH TOLD ME THAT HAD SEEN THIS BEFORE.
