2022 Kia Seltos problems
The Kia Seltos (Korean: 기아 셀토스) is a subcompact crossover SUV manufactured by Kia. Introduced in mid-2019, the Seltos is positioned between the smaller Stonic, Soul, or Sonet and the larger Sportage in Kia's global SUV lineup.
The Seltos is designated as a global product with three variations introduced for different markets. The first variation is the largest version of the Seltos, which is manufactured in South Korea (codename: SP2) mainly aimed at developed markets, including North America and Australasia. The two other variations are the Indian-made Seltos (codename: SP2i) and the closely related Chinese version badged as the Kia KX3 (codename: SP2c). The SP2i and SP2c models are the low-cost versions of the Seltos to penetrate emerging markets, built on the Hyundai-Kia K2 platform and closely related to the second-generation Hyundai Creta/ix25. Despite being a globally marketed model, the Seltos is not sold in the European market.
The name "Seltos" is derived from "Celtos", the son of Hercules and Celtine in Greek mythology. According to Kia, the Seltos will be marketed to millennials.

AIR BAGS,LANE DEPARTURE,FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2024-06-30
- VIN: KNDERCAA4N7
- Components: AIR BAGS,LANE DEPARTURE,FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE
- Summary: This is a problem that has occurred in several Kia models. While driving all of a sudden all the warning lights from every safety related item come on and at the same time the power steering goes off as well as the air conditioner. Sometimes if you stop the car and restart the engine everything returns to normal other times it does not and occasionally the shifter locks itself in park. I have taken it to the Kia dealer twice and they "repaired" it one time and the problem continued. The second time no problem codes were shown in the OBD and they said there was nothing they could do. We have limited our driving this car because it is a ticking time bomb. A quick look at the Seltos forum shows that many owners have reported this problem. Please go to this link below.

- Components: POWER TRAIN,ENGINE
- Summary: On June 10, 2023 I was driving and in stop and go traffic. My 2022 Kia Seltos transmission over heated. I pulled over, let it cool, and cautiously drove home. I made an appointment with the dealership I purchased the car from and requested that they inspect the transmission and explained what happened. This is when I was informed that my vehicle had a "design flaw" in the dual clutch system and that if I did not put my vehicle in park or neutral while on stop and go traffic, my vehicle would overheat. I was given the all clear, but a month later I had to have my car towed to the dealership for further transmission issues.
UNKNOWN OR OTHER PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2022-06-22
- VIN: KNDETCA2XN7
- Components: UNKNOWN OR OTHER
- Summary: NO ACCIDENT HAS OCCURRED AT THIS TIME. I AM JUST REPORTING WHAT I CONSIDER A SAFETY HAZARD DRIVING CONDITION. The push buttons for hill control and all wheel lock are on the wrong side of the console for the shifter handle. They cannot be seen without taking eyes off of the road and leaning around the shifter handle. It's like this set-up was designed for foreign designed KIAS where the driver is on the opposite side from American drivers. There are empty button positions on the driver's side of the shifter console that can accommodate these control buttons and eliminate the AMERICAN driver from removing their eyes for an extended amount of time to see which buttons they need to use.

AIR BAGS PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2022-11-25
- Number Of Injuries: 1
- Crash: 1
- VIN: KNDEU2AA0N7
- Components: AIR BAGS
- Summary: We purchased a new factory 2022 Kia Seltos for our child, because of its 6 standard airbags and its other safety features. Our child was in a vehicle accident on Black Friday were he hit his head and suffered a severe head concussion. It was a frontal crash and none of the airbags deployed. Because of this our son could not complete his Firsts Semester of College and had to take an “Incomplete”. Before the accident there were no malfunction warnings, and we received nothing from his Kia App stating nothing wrong with his vehicle. As a matter of fact, the cops, ambulance and Tow Driver were all shocked that his airbag did not deploy. Our insurance company had the car towed to its collision center so they could review the extent of the damages. The insurance and collision center deemed the vehicle a total loss because the vehicle was over the 75% threshold to be repaired. The vehicle was totaled because it had a frontal bent frame, no front bumper, headlights, sensors, radiator etc. We did report the accident and findings from our insurance company to Kia America and the Dealership where we purchased the vehicle; but they seemed not to care.
WHEELS,UNKNOWN OR OTHER PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2022-06-08
- VIN: KNDERCAA3N7
- Components: WHEELS,UNKNOWN OR OTHER
- Summary: I had a flat tire and replaced it with the spare tire that came with the car. Because the vehicle is AWD, the tires need to be the same size, however, the spare tire was smaller. As a result, the car started smoking and driving very rough within 10 miles of the spare being put on. It turns out that the differential went out because the spare tire was rotating faster than the others.
ENGINE PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2022-09-16
- VIN: KNDEPCAA7N7
- Components: ENGINE
- Summary: My engine is malfunctioning. My safety has been at risk when I am driving on the highway 50 miles per hour and it just shut off, when turning the steering wheel to make a turn, the car will shut off and it has shut off while waiting at a red light. However, It will start back up after I switch the gauge into park and restart the car. I have taken my vehicle in to the Kia dealership, and they have taken pictures of the engine, to have it evaluated by the KIA headquarters. I am currently waiting for approval to change the engine to a new one.
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,LANE DEPARTURE,FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2022-08-06
- VIN: Kndeu2aa3n7
- Components: ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,LANE DEPARTURE,FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE
- Summary: Car is giving codes C162604/ C164202 stating there is an issue with the electric stability control as well as lane keeping assistance. Emergency break lines came on (abs) as well. There was no incidents before this happened. This was a previous issue with the 2021 Kia Seltos that may have not been addressed properly while making the 2022. I am unsure if I am able to drive the vehicle safely to the dealership due to the stability control issue.
UNKNOWN OR OTHER PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2022-06-11
- VIN: KNDERCAA9N7
- Components: UNKNOWN OR OTHER
- Summary: I purchased the vehicle for my daughter. Two times now she has had the power (to the steering, brakes...) and the engine fully shut off when she stopped at a traffic light. A message popped up on her screen that said "battery discharge warning." She was not able to get the car to restart for 20 min. A dangerous situation at a busy intersection. The first time she took the car into the dealer and they could not find any problems. The second time the dealer didn't ever call her back, so I though I would share the problem with the NHTSA. The problem first occurred on June 11th and then again in July.
UNKNOWN OR OTHER PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2022-02-01
- VIN: KNDETCA22N7
- Components: UNKNOWN OR OTHER
- Summary: The contact owns a 2022 Kia Seltos. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the vehicle lost motive power and stalled without warning. Upon restart of the vehicle, the vehicle would enter into limp mode as the vehicle would fail to accelerate above 40 MPH with the accelerator pedal depressed to the floorboard. The vehicle was taken to a dealer but was not yet diagnosed. The contact made multiple attempts to reach the manufacturer; however, each attempt was unsuccessful. The vehicle had yet to be repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 2,000.
BACK OVER PREVENTION PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2022-05-04
- VIN: KNDERCAA6N7
- Components: BACK OVER PREVENTION
- Summary: 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.
STRUCTURE PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2022-04-21
- VIN: KNDEP2AA2N7
- Components: STRUCTURE
- Summary: I would like to express that in December 11 they gave me the vehicle at the car dealer and I had not been driving for even 20 minutes, when I heard a noise and looked and my glass had shattered. I turned to the dealer and they replaced him on March 11. Today April 21st I am driving on the highway with no car near me and I come back I hear a noise and I look and again my glass is broken. It is incredible that it is already twice in less than 5 months that in different scenarios that the glass shatters. I am very worried and I fear that in an accident my glass will not be strong enough.
UNKNOWN OR OTHER PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2021-12-23
- VIN: KNDETCA23N7
- Components: UNKNOWN OR OTHER
- Summary: Sunroof exploded while driving for no apparent reason. Shade was open but the actual sunroof was in closed position. Car has less than 3,000 Miles. Its brand new. I heard a terrible explosion suddenly and was startled. I was driving alone in the car. At first I thoght it was something near by. Then I looked up and saw that the entire sunroof was shattered, glass all over the passenger seat and flying into the rear seat. Part of the sunroof glass was still in tack, bowing outward. I was able to drive to the Auto Body Shop that KIA dealership recommended. They said they had never seen anything like this before and that it did not appear to be an obstacle that hit the sunroof from the outside, rather an explosion from within causing the glass to bow outward (what was left of the glass). My insurance company was notified and we are in process of ordering a new glass sunroof. I did some research on the web while at body shop and found out this kind of thing happened before to different models of KIA. The body shop applied some protective plastic to the top of car so I could drive it. They also noticed the glass had left scratches on top of the car and in the hatch back of car. I then drove to the KIA dealership where I had just purchased the car and talked with them. They told me to contact the service manager the next day and ask him to call a KIA REP to have that person inspect the car. The Auto Body Shop took 22 pictures of the car. I also filed a Police Report on-line. I am horrified by this experience and angry that this type of incident has apparently gone on for years with not only KIA cars but other cars with sunroofs exploding as well. I will keep pursing this with the KIA dealership and a KIA REP as well since why should my personal insurance company pay for this when KIA should take some responsibility. I am just glad that I was not injured physically.
UNKNOWN OR OTHER PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2021-10-29
- VIN: KNDEU2AA2N7
- Components: UNKNOWN OR OTHER
- Summary: wireless CarPlay suddenly disconnects leaving drivers unable to use the navigation system and audio including music, call, navigation instructions, maps, and other features. This is a potential hazard for drivers who depend of navigation systems in an unfamiliar environment. Also, propose a potential risk because the driver may be distracted trying to fix the connectivity issue while driving exposing them and other drivers near to a car crash. Software version affected SP2_22MY.USA.D2V.001.001.210215
POWER TRAIN,ENGINE PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2021-12-11
- VIN: KNDETCA22N7
- Components: POWER TRAIN,ENGINE
- Summary: I bought a brand new 2022 Kia Seltos a month and a half ago at Monroeville Kia dealership. On December 11, the car started manifesting a transmission temperature overheating problem in the middle of traffic. Once the transmission overheated, the engine lost power. I was driving in busy traffic and had to pull the car over to allow the engine to cool down. The police came over and made me start driving my car again, indicating that I could not pull over in such busy traffic. This is a major risk to my safety and can potentially cause a car accident. I reported this case to Kia Manufacturer and I opened a case. The case number is 14537410. The manufacturer told me to have the dealership evaluate the car. The dealership evaluated the car and said “This is a known defect and, per Kia’s engineers, there is nothing they could do to fix the car.” I need reliable vehicle, especially because my job requires me to travel. I am concerned that this issue will continue to manifest and will likely cause a serious accident. I am filing this case because I need arbitration and I need this issue to be fixed or i need a refund.

I was preparing to buy my first car and had been researching smaller SUVs. I kept coming back to the Seltos and finally decided to test drive one. I instantly fell in love with it! The amount of room and space is amazing, with plenty of leg and headroom in the front and back seats. The trunk is the perfect size for my golf clubs and any extra things I might need. I am absolutely loving the 8” touchscreen, which is plenty big enough. I went with the AWD S trim for the extra safety features, which come in handy every time I drive. I especially enjoy the lane-assist and the fact that it lets me know when the car in front of me starts to move when I’m stopped. I’ve read some reviews about a lot of noise in the cabin when driving on freeways, but that is not the case for me. I was set on getting the yellow body/black roof exterior color, but ended up with the Mars Orange instead, which looks so much better in person. If you’re on the fence about purchasing a Seltos, I’d give it two thumbs up. I’ve only had mine for two weeks and I can’t say enough good things about it!

The SX-Turbo is truly eye-catching and stunning! I love the starlight yellow and black color combination, and I always receive amazing compliments on it. It stands out from other small SUVs on the road. Additionally, it is fully loaded with every safety and infotainment feature you could want, all for under $30K. The interior is spacious and comparable in size to the CX-5, with double the amount of storage as my Mazda CX-3. It's also incredibly fun to drive! I had a great experience with my salesman, Frank M., at Smithtown Kia. I'm so happy we decided to buy this car - I absolutely love it!
-
You made a great choice with the 2021 KIA Seltos LX! It's a reliable vehicle with excellent gas mileage and sufficient power for passing on the highway. I understand that road noise can be a bit loud on dry pavement with snow tires, but it's always better to be safe than sorry, especially in Alberta, Canada. The only minor issue I can see is that the USB plugin area may be a bit cramped for those with larger hands. However, it's great to hear that even at 6'2 and 265 lbs, you have plenty of head and leg room with the driver's seat in the lowest position. Overall, it sounds like you're very happy with your purchase and I'm glad to hear it!
-
The Seltos is a great car, but unfortunately my experience with the dealership was not as positive. They slipped in an expensive extended warranty that I did not need, as the basic warranty is sufficient.
-
I test drove the top-end SX model as my lease for my 2017 Tucson is up in August. The Seltos' exterior looks sharp and the interior is nice-looking. However, I didn't find the ride comfortable on bumpy roads, but it was nice on smooth pavement. I also noticed that the front seats aren't very comfortable, and there's no power seat for the passenger. Additionally, the vehicle lacks a power lift gate and has a small gas tank of only 13 gallons. I believe that being the top-end model, it should have those features. In general, I would rate it as follows: Exterior 9 out of 10, Interior 8, Comfort 7, Ride 5 on crappy pavement, and 8 on nice pavement. I still have two months to decide and test drive other vehicles. I noticed that the dual-clutch transmission on the Tucson is terrible, and this vehicle has the same setup and engine. However, it's slightly better, but you can still tell it's a dual-clutch.

Are you having problems with your 2022 Kia Seltos?
Marquis Windler 2024-11-15
I leased a 2022 Kia Seltos SX Turbo AWD on June 10, 2022. Unfortunately, on day 6, I experienced an instrument cluster fault which was very strange. When I engaged the navigation, the entire dashboard began to turn on and off, showing empty on the fuel gauge, zero on the speedometer and tachometer. I brought it in for repair and have been waiting for almost 3 weeks for the ordered part, a new instrument cluster, to be shipped from South Korea. Despite this setback, I still absolutely love this vehicle. It's a real compact beauty of an SUV with great handling and a nice kick for such a small engine. I'm hoping this issue gets resolved as soon as possible, but I've heard from a mechanic that this is a known problem that has something to do with humidity getting into the cluster module. As of July 22, I still haven't received any updates, but I'm remaining optimistic.
Reynold McDermott 2024-10-08
The car has been in the shop for almost a month despite having been driven for less than 5k miles in the year that I have owned it. Despite attempts to fix the issue, the car still has every light on the dashboard illuminated, will not shift into drive or reverse, and the keys will not work. The fuse block has been replaced, but the issue persists. I am considering legal options as I suspect this may be a Lemon.
Reynold Streich 2024-07-21
After only 3000 miles on my Kia Seltos, the engine revved and the transmission disengaged. I contacted the service department and was informed that the transmission may need to be replaced. Unfortunately, this occurred while I was en route to the hospital, leaving me stranded 60 miles away. However, I am confident that the service department will be able to resolve this issue promptly.
Joesph Wunsch 2024-05-29
I purchased my Kia Seltos brand new in 2020 and drove it for 28,000kms. Unfortunately, I experienced some issues with the engine due to defective parts, but Kia was able to provide me with a new engine. Although it took 3 weeks to fix, I was grateful for their assistance. However, I did experience another issue with a loose hose clamp for the coolant, which caused me to be stranded on the road for 2 hours. This was not the fault of the mechanics, but rather a bad clamp. Despite these setbacks, I still enjoyed my Seltos EX. I did some research and found the perfect replacement vehicle when I traded it in. I highly recommend doing research before purchasing any vehicle. The Kia Seltos is a great car, but it's important to note that the engine has not changed since 2018 and Kia continues to build cars with the 2.0L engine. The Sportage 2.4L is the same as Hyundai and has no issues, but it's always best to do your research. If you're in the market for a new car, expect to pay no more than $32,000 for a brand new one. Used cars are currently very expensive. If you can wait, it's best to get a new car and save money in the long run. Stay safe and consider checking out the Subaru Crosstrek. By the way, I highly recommend it!
Daryl Dicki 2024-05-12
I recently sold my 2022 Kia Seltos in June 2023. Unfortunately, it ran out of oil without the oil light coming on, even though I followed the recommended oil change schedule. This has happened to me before with my Sorento, so I have decided to switch to a Honda. As a hardworking single parent, I want to warn others to be aware of this issue. Although I may struggle to pay off the loan for my new car, I know it will be a better investment in the long run.
