Hello, I've just bought a used Kia Ceed (Private Seller) and I have found that the front windscreen wipers do not function correctly. At normal speed and high speed the wipers work fine but do not park correctly and when set on intermittent they stop part way up the screen, stay there for ten seconds Ceed 1.4 crdi power/acceleration problem. there is temporary no reactions for accelerate 1-4 soconds, it feels like turbo dosn't work. I press pedal of accelerate and.. nothing, no reaction. This problem depend on temperature, when it's under 13C is ok, but when the temperatre is over 13Cfault is present. I know that owners of kia venga and kia ceed - corrosion / sub frame issues - Engineer Andy. Kia have a 'product improvement' campaign in place where they're changing front subframes for free when required. That must very expensive, given how much work doing so must entail. It rather indicates that it only affects a very small number of vehicles. Forum for Kia owners and fans – share your driving experience, reviews, common problems, and solutions.

Im experiencing some problems with changing gears on my from new Kia Ceed 2014 1.6 - the gears are not registering correctly - if I'm going from 2-3 or 3-4th there's a massive over -revving (very noisy revving sound) as if its not recognising what gear the car is in- The display also keeps telling me to change into the next gear when I am Intermittent ABS Problem. Our 54 reg Picanto appears to be having some sort of issue with the ABS system at low speeds. On quite a few occasions now, when braking at low speed (perhaps 5~10MPH) the ABS system starts grinding/kicking in and a temporary loss of braking occurs. (This is on dry ground and not a slippery surface.) Turbo issues. Hi all. I recently purchased a 2015 Pro ceed 1.6GT. Tech. When I test drove it I knew this was the car for me!. Everything felt great and although never having owned a Kia before I knew I wanted it. Since owning it I had noticed that when the car starts from cold, for the first few minutes it feels like a regular 1.6 non turbo. I found that when accelerating, once the turbo kicked in, it would sometimes cut out and I would lose boost for around 2-3 seconds and there was a loud whistling sound when this happened. After 10 The problem in the UK originally with A/c was that the system needs to be used , even in winter. when they 1st started putting it on most vehicles they failed to tell people that it needs to be run for at least 1/2hr every week . This is to prevent the compressor seal drying out & subsequent loss of gas. vvOh.
