The hood on my car seems to be loose as it rattles when closed and driving. It does appear to be latched, however i'm concerned that the hood will come loose and blow up in front of the windshield while driving causing a life threatening accident. The hood bumpers on the inside of the hood are not adjustable, and/or long enough to cushion the hood to stop the rattling either.

Brake lights are consistently blowing out especially the right brake light. I have replaced the bulb at least a dozen times in the past 2 years. Also the signal lights are going out as well. There is something faulty going on with the connection that i think needs to be recalled. After a quick search on youtube i realized that i’m not the only person this has happened to. Kia needs to have a recall to fix this issue because i can’t keep spending money on bulb replacements. Today on may 4, 2024 the brake lights weren’t working and when i went replace them they were blown on both sides. And the one on the right the actual bulb glass came off and i noticed that the plastic where the bulb connection locks in at was melted a little and the connector had slight burn marks. The bulb itself won’t stay on without me pushing the bulb in when i connect it.

My brand new 2023 kia forte lxs (koa the kia)'s lower right control arm is completely broken, the rack & pinion inner tie rod end is bent, as well has damage to bottom coverage panel, right side rims scratches and scratched under bumper paint from collapse. In march of 2024, the vehicle completely collapsed on the road, and felt like the car was dangerously floating. By the good grace of god, my children and i made it home safely. I was not aware of how tremendous the damages were, until maxcare directed me to have a tow company transport my new vehicle to a manufacturer, ed voles kia in atlanta, ga, where the right tire was completely disconnected from the vehicle. Ed voyles kia has had the vehicle since the collapse, and has been inspected with an invoice for future references. The vehicle would make loud popping noises, depending on the steering wheels position while operating the vehicle. I took it upon myself to get the issue checked out in little rock, ar at landers kia in february 2024, personally thinking it was the brakes (though just purchased). Other than unappealing noises, and a floating feeling while driving, there were no other warnings to anticipate such a grueling tragedy.
