2009 Kia Amanti — reported problems

What the records are about, by source

Each source is kept separate: owner complaints, recalls, manufacturer communications and investigations are different kinds of record and are never added together. All model years.

• Owner complaints (494 records, model years 2004–2009) are most frequently classified under: speed control & accelerator, air bags (restraint system) and powertrain (transmission & drivetrain).
• Manufacturer communications (127 records, model years 2004–2009) are most frequently classified under: engine, electrical system and equipment & accessories.

"Most frequently classified under" reports how the records are filed by the source. It is not a finding about causes, and a record can be filed under more than one system. Read the individual records
