(the brakes were not worn.) when i returned the brake parts to high desert kia, in victorville, ca., i told the service department about the cracked rim and inquired of the warranty on the rims. i was told the warranty period is 30,000 miles.(at the time, my vehicle had approx.55,000 miles.) then in june of 2004, i heard the same clanking from the driverside, rear wheel. upon inspection i found that this rim had also cracked in the same manner as the first. realizing the fatal consequences that could occur shoul a rim fail and break apart while the vehicle is in motion, i first notified you and then the kia motors headquarters listed in my owners manual. upon explaining the cracking of the two rims and what high desert kia's response was to me, i was told to return to high desert kia and they would be instructed to replace all 4 of the rims on my rio, at no charge.but it would be a once only replacement. and the rims would only be warrantied for the 12 months that is standard for replacement parts. the rims were replaced on july 17th, 2004. upon my inquiry, i was assured the 4 new rims are from a different lot number and made in 2003.*ak.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 55000 miles.

Kia Rio 2001 Wheels Review #10135448

KIA RIO 2001 car safety problem was reported on Sept 02, 2005.KIA RIO 2001, manufactured by KIA MOTORS AMERICA, INC. had a problem with WHEELS . kia initiated a recall on the 2001 kia rio for replacement of the four standard steel wheels with four alloy wheels. the recall was made because of the potential that the standard steel wheels could crack lead to wheel failure. the letter indicated all 4 wheels would be replaced. i took the car to arlington kia in palatine to have the recall serviced. i presented the letter to the service department. rather than replacing the wheels, the dealer only inspected them, indicating there was no problem. while i am glad to know this, i am not quite certain this is the right response to the issue. i am not satisfied by kia's solution. while there was no damage upon their inspection, it does not guard against development. unsatisfied with the dealer's response, i contacted customer care to inquire whether or not the dealership had done enough i talked to steve larez, a customer care manager, who explained to me, while the letter did say kia would "replace all four original equipment wheels at no cost," what that really meant was that i would get a ten minute inspection, and if nothing was wrong, i'd be left with the potentially defective part. i find it discouraging that kia has not followed through on what was indicated in the letter. im not sure what the nhtsa can do in this matter, since it seems to be a policy on kias part, but rather than assuring i was a happy customer, mr. larez told me to make a complaint. the car is owned by geralyn and michael dwyer 569 victoria ln. wood dale, il 60191 ph# 630-521-0221 my name is zach loveland, my wife katie drives the car, the dwyers are her parents. they purchased the car for her while she was in college and it remains in their name. i can be reached at 773-695-9178 thank you for your assistance in this matter. *nm .0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):KNADC123316.

KIA RIO 2001 car safety problem was reported on Nov 27, 2006.KIA RIO 2001, manufactured by KIA MOTORS AMERICA, INC. had a problem with SUSPENSION . 01 rio is a lemon & safety hazard. many major repairs done including the timing belt & valves rebuilt, new cooling system, both control arms & boots. wheel defect recently recalled caused excess wear/ tear on control arms, boots, alignment, tires, costing thousands of avoidable repairs. fuel intake did come lose, nearly causing an engine fire due to defective part which was recalled. it continuously misfires, engine knocks, stalls. ecm was recalled but didn't fix the problem. replaced spark plugs & wires (3 times in 6 months), ignition coil, sensors (oxygen, knock, crankshaft, temp). it stops for a 1-2 days, then comes back. annoying & dangerous. also has acceleration problem. at times, it won't go over 40 mph & also accelerates by itself. brakes have completely failed, though there's no crack in the line, no leaking fluid. the car is a complete lemon. online, there are hundreds of similar complaints. dealers are aware but conveniently can't seem to diagnose the problems especially misfiring. consumers get nickel & dimed doing needless repairs that don't fix the problem. the optima had similar problems w/crankshaft pos. sensor which was recalled, but dealer denies any relation to problems with the rio. another problem - lack of availability & high cost of parts. its bait/switch to sell a car with known problems, then guess at needless repairs & sell parts at an astronomical markup. it's cheap to buy, but repair costs make it very expensive. research shows misfiring/engine knock has also led to engine fires. also problems with air bags. my airbag light has been on since purchased, but dealer has yet to fix it. also door locking problems, people being locked in vehicles. my drivers door locks by itself (manual locks). in case of engine fire or accident, a lock malfunction could cause unnecessary death/injury. these are known problems with hundreds of complaints, yet kia has done nothing to address them. the 01 rio is a lemon and safety hazard. *jb.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Kia Rio 2001 problem was reported in PALM HARBOR, FL.
