TOP KIA ISSUES
Kia is a South Korean automaker known for fun, affordable vehicles that unfortunately come few serious defects.
Common Kia issues include:
- Airbags not deploying properly.
- Brake failure.
- Faulty electrical system.
- Engine overheating, stalling, hesitating, failing.
- Exterior lights turning off arbitrarily.
- Forward collision warning malfunction.
- Steering noises.
- Transmission failure.
- Warning lights malfunction.
- Windshield & sunroof cracking.
The good news is that if your Kia vehicle is still under manufacturer’s warranty and these or any other issues have not been handled in a reasonable number of repair attempts, you might be protected by consumer protection laws and California’s lemon law.
THE CALIFORNIA LEMON LAW
California’s lemon law is designed to protect the consumer rights of those who have bought, leased or serviced their vehicles in California, or active duty military with a connection to California. It requires car companies such as Hyundai Motor Group which owns Kia to repurchase or replace any defective vehicle that suffer from warranty defects that cannot be fixed in a reasonable number of attempts – usually as low as 2 repair attempts. So if you bought in California a 2020 or newer Kia that’s a lemon, you are entitled to get monetary compensation, a lemon law buyback or replacement vehicle. Best of all, it won’t cost you anything as all attorney fees and costs will be paid by Hyundai Motor Group.

KIA LEMON LAW TESTIMONIALS
Here are testimonials from some of our happy Kia clients – Our success rate on filed cases is 99%:
“Prior to Joe Kaufman’s office jumping in to represent me, I endured a long, difficult battle with Kia that dragged on for years. When I was trying to handle it on my own, I was getting nowhere — no cooperation, no progress, and no signs of resolution. I had never been through anything like this before, and without this team — especially Scott Sanchez — I would still be in an unsafe and extremely frustrating situation. Scott and the entire team truly advocated for me, guided me through every step, and fought hard on my behalf. He also took the time to break down all the legal jargon to make the process much more seamless. I’m incredibly grateful for their dedication and support. I highly recommend them and will gladly refer anyone who needs help. They made all the difference.” Sherrie J – CA
“Joe and the Lemon Law Aid team worked wonders with my settlement against Kia. Joe was prompt, detailed, and always looking out in my best interest. He was able to get my car loan paid off and got a few thousand more of what I had paid off on the loan. Him and his team were great. I strongly recommend using them for any lemon law car issues. Thank you Joe and team for all of your help. Will definitely be recommending you and using you in the future if needed.” Mariel R – CA
“I would like to start by thanking Joseph “Joe” Kaufman and Associates for accepting my son’s Kia Soul EV lemon case when others turned him away. Joe assigned my son’s case to an amazing attorney and a wonderful person, Christopher R. Hunt, Esq., who worked diligently and aggressively to get a great settlement. The outcome surpassed our expectations. We truly appreciate how responsive Chris was to every question, email and call; but mostly how thoroughly he explained everything, how he communicated every detail of the case in a form we understood. Joe and Chris both stayed connected to us and were professional and personable. It has all been thanks to their diligence, attention to details, thoroughness and constant communication on how the case was going. In closing, Melissa made sure we were aware of all the closing steps. It really showed how much they care for their clients…that is key! I highly recommend Joseph Kaufman and Associates.” Juste K – Los Angeles, CA.
“I can’t thank Joe Kaufman & Associates enough for their incredible help with my Kia Soul lemon case. From start to finish, they were professional, knowledgeable, and truly had my best interests at heart. They made the entire process smooth and stress-free, keeping me informed every step of the way. Not only did they deliver great results, but they also exceeded my expectations with their dedication and expertise. Thanks to them, I got the resolution I deserved. If you’re dealing with a lemon law issue, don’t hesitate to reach out—you’ll be in excellent hands! Highly recommend!” Maria L – Los Angeles, CA.
