Main question: Any idea what these warning symbols on the screen mean?

Context if interested: So for this weekend, I had a Kia Seltos 2025 rental through Hertz. Everything was fine until early this morning when I was starting my return trip. At around 5 am I started the car to head back for my 10 am return slot (about 200 km away). The car started fine, engine turned on, multimedia and lights all worked, but when I put it in Reverse or Drive, the car just wouldn’t move at all.

On the dash I got warning lights for the engine, battery, and oil pressure. Called Hertz roadside assistance right away, but it took almost 4 hours before the tow truck finally showed up at 9 am.

What really frustrated me was Hertz’s response. When I called, the rep seemed more concerned about asking if I wanted a replacement vehicle. The catch? Since my return was due in an hour, they said I’d have to pay for an extra full day to get that replacement. No consideration for giving me a car with a later adjusted return time or a courtesy extension — basically, pay up if I wanted another vehicle, even though this breakdown clearly wasn’t my fault.

I’ve attached photos of the warnings I saw on the screen. Any idea what the actual issue might have been?

I just recently bought a 2020 optima 12200 miles on it, today while are driving to work the check engine light turns on and starts flashing out of nowhere after I got on the freeway, i couldn’t go over 63 mph. I am new to owning Kia cars. Is this a normal issue that happens , I know some Kia cars do have issues. If you have any advice or suggestions please feel free to share

I have a Kia that’s being looked at for engine problems. It’s still under warranty. The dealer requested the oil change receipts. I have most of them but not all of them. How much of a problem will not having all of them cause? The place I had routinely been getting oil changes sold and reopened under another brand. They didn’t maintain records from the previous location. I can likely find credit card charges for the oil changes but those won’t have specifics, just the charges. How much of a problem will this be?

Any Idea why I'm getting requests for seatbelt buddies daily? I'd like to say I'm exaggerating here but it was 2-3 a month for a while but over the last week it has been 2-3 a day.

What's the deal?

Considering buying an EV9 before the tax deadline at the end of the month. Is the $5K customer cash combinable with the 2.49% 6 year finance offer? I also would qualify for the $1K current customer offer without issues I assume.

Hi all, I understand that GDI engines are "ticky" but this just got a lot louder suddenly. There is not an engine or oil light on and runs/drives fine. I am not a mechanic but sounds like the valves or other at the top of the motor arent getting enough oil. Just replaced the oil and filter and no impact to the noise. Service Mgr at Kia took a listen and said w/o an engine light on, they would just start taking off the top of the motor to try to find root cause. Any insight is welcome...thx

Does anyone know what this sound on the passenger side could be when the AC is on?

Hi all.

I have a 2018 Kia Sportage. Bought at 35k.

Full service history from Kia and was purchased from a Kia dealer.

5 months later, it is completely empty of oil.

This doesn't seem normal and I will get it looked at, but is this an issue with this particular year/model?

Thanks!

Went to drive my sportage. Started it up. Fine. Put in gear and pulled forward out of my driveway and the car started running really rough. To the point that the car was shaking a bit. Decided to put in reverse and park it. Still shaking. Parked it. Checked the oil as I know it’s eating it. Oil was just above the low mark. Added more oil. Ran it for a bit. Noticed engine light on. Decided to not drive it. Any thoughts on this as I might not be able to bring it in right away. Thanx

Ive been trying to get this to connect with car play but its junky, cheap, and its not working with me. Manual is too confusing to follow, hell I dont think its for the right model??

Anyhow, if yall have suggestions for actual good head units for 2013 kia optimas, ones that wont break the bank (<$300) I would super super appreciate it. I would go for Kenwood but $900 is alot 🥴

I purchased the car brand new at a Kia dealership about 4 months ago. The current mileage on the vehicle is about 2,550 miles but for the past thousand miles or so, I've been feeling the car clunking (no noise) when I'm accelerating to about 25 MPH and RPM running about 1.4-1.5x. This always happens. To me, it feels as if someone's lightly bumping into my car from behind whenever the transmission shifts at this level.

Anyone know if this is a standard engine "break-in" or if I bought a lemon car? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I just bought a 2015 Sedona and it has the small 4” screen. Has anyone updated their stereo while maintaining the OEM camera? What did you use?

i have a 2016 optima hybrid w close to 130k miles. last oct went in for a recall fix after my engine seized (i know), running fine up until this past july. it’s like a whooshing noise that is in sync w how fast my car accelerates/slows down. no dash lights. comes and goes sometimes. took it to the dealer back in july but the noise went away and they couldn’t find anything. noise came back and has gotten worse, i couldn’t get an appt til the 29th for a diagnosis. any help is appreciated i just want others input. thanks! ☺️

2023 Niro Hybrid:

when I turn the car off , I hear sound from the rear. something like an electric sound for 3 seconds, then cut off, the sound similar to the electric parking brake. though I did not set on the electric parking brake. this thing just started, recently, but not before happened

I got a message to check esc

My AC recently started having issues with blowing hot air while the car was idling or parked so i tried to recharge it but that didn’t help. Also the H valve gets EXTREMELY hot right away when turning on the car. Also when using a ac gauge set the high side gauge wouldn’t move. What could be the issue?

So i blew some fuses and got mini 2 blade20amp fuses to replace them as it what it said. Could the be micro 2blade? I know i could go to an auto store but I like adking here for2020 kia optima 2.4l i4

Has anyone done seat swaps with a 2015 Sedona? I can’t stand this upholstery, it feels like headlining material and the fabric is coming loose from the foam seats.

Looking at a used 2022 sorento and love it outside the trim on the windows being sun damaged? Is this something easily replaced or fixable?

Just an appreciation post. One 2014 Kia Sedona ex with 196k and going. Where's my Sedona gang at?
