Woman finds out her used Kia should never have been sold – a headache that could have been avoided

A car owner from Pennsylvania found herself in the middle of a mishap when a car dealership in her area sold her a 2021 Kia Seltos that has an open recall. In a TikTok post she bemoaned how she’s always the unlucky one in the friend group, and how this car was something she only bought two months ago and is already having issues. But there are certain ways to prevent getting yourself in these situations.

According to Motor1, the 2021 Kia Seltos was recalled for issues with stalling and crash as well as fire risk. The danger that these issues can cause to a driver cannot be overstated. In Motor Trend’s review of the car when it first came out, and after they drove the car for 18,000 miles, they noted that while the car has its upsides of economical consumption and sufficient space for its price range, they found the manual structure of the climate control and seat adjustment underwhelming — they also weren’t quite impressed with the ignition keys, but more on that later.
