  • Worst car purchase ever! - 2009 Kia Rio
    By -

    Purchased new. Non-stop quality issues. Windshield delaminated at 16 months and again at 48 months. Has anyone had a windshield fail with stress cracks (in exactly same spot) twice within 48 months? Radio stopped working at 30 months. Knock sensor failed 15 months. Electronic control module failed 18 months. Air bag sensor failed. Too many failures to list. I call car "Elvis" -- shake, rattle and roll! Getting in-warranty repairs done a huge hassle, tried three different dealers. Last dealers solution was "you should buy a new car". Kia factory rep never returns calls. Once car out of warranty Kias attitude is too bad, we are not responsible.
