Open the full vehicle complaint log (all categories)Summary: Failure of Vision system causes unpredictable computer behavior, and such failure may not be known by vehicle operator. 3 Separate Incidents on same car . Occurance 1, 10/22: Brakes locked (with smoke) and stalled in heavy traffic; fortunately traveling only 5MPH so no accident. Restart allowed car to run, although rough. NOTE: Front collision Avoidance turned OFF but computer reset system anyway on camera failure. Kia towed to nearest dealer, admitting that it is NOT SAFE to drive. Once computer went blind, the front vision system reset defaults-including braking control. The Camera system was replaced, seamingly fixing situation. *Occurance 2, 12/29/22 HOA cruise control set at 65, traffic moving 50- car started to accelerate, not seeing car in advance. Braking put up a dashboard message "HOA Disabled, Radar blocked", then "Conditions not met, radar blocked". I also discovered that Front Collision Avoidance was not functional. NOTE THERE IS NO CONSISTANT WARNING TO OPERATOR, only periodically, a "FCA disabled, Radar Blocked" message appeared, but would disappear within 5-10 minutes (but system was still offline). visit 1, 1/10 > No problem found, reset default settings visit 2, 1/17 > took back to dealer again- problem replicated, camera ordered visit 3, 1/24 > vehicle dropped off for camera replacement *Occurance 3, 1/24, System failed on test drive after repair. Dealer did not provide details. Dealer arranged rental "This car is not safe to drive"
The backup camera has failed twice in two months. When vehicle was put in reverse the camera would flash off and on and stated no signal for the backup camera. The problem clears when next trip is made. Dealer said they are not aware of this problem and cannot diagnose unless it is happening. This is a fairly common problem as a number of others have reported this on the Facebook Seltos owner's page. This creates a hazard when in reverse.
