Kia Seltos is one of the hottest selling models in the segment. However, all is not well with the Seltos as the owners have reported many Kia Seltos problems on social media.
Kia Seltos is currently one of the most popular SUVs in India. With prices starting from INR 9.69 Lakh and going all the way up to INR 16.99 Lakh (Ex-showroom), it has already made it to the top-selling cars for the past two months. Let us lock at what the top 5 Kia Seltos Problems are.
The waiting period, nonetheless, is in a lot of control, as the maximum you’ll need to hold up will be as long as 3 months. On the other hand, its direct rival, the MG Hector had a waiting period of over a year.
Then again, many owners of SUVs have taken their issues on social media. The Kia Seltos Problems have been experienced by numerous buyers, which have been clubbed ahead.
- Transmission Overheating
Numerous purchasers have complained that they are getting a message on the MID that says ‘Transmission temperature is high. Stop Safely’. One owner drove the Seltos GTX+ for around 100 kms and afterwards got the overheating message on the MID. Another purchaser who has the DCT variant has encountered a similar issue in only half a month of purchase. DCT transmissions have been a popular choice for car enthusiasts and we are familiar with the issues of the dual-clutch gearboxes. Most of the owners face transmission overheating issues during traffic jams and bumper to bumper traffic. On the other hand, those who have the manual gearbox may not worry about this issue.
- Low Fuel Economy
One of the owners has asserted that despite driving for over 450 kms on an open highway at a speed of 40 km/hr, the mileage of the GTX DCT is just 7.7 kmpl. Likewise, the individual was continually driving in the ECO mode and in spite of that, the car returned low fuel economy. The company claims to offer 16 kmpl for the GTX DCT. Likewise, there are a number of other owners complaining about the same.

- Delivery of Defective Vehicle
An owner of Kia Seltos Diesel HTK 6-speed AT has talked about her issues. In the long post, she explains that in only 20 days of purchasing, the infotainment began going off. While jumping from dealer to dealer, she finally managed to get the vehicle fixed within 2-3 days. However, in just some time of driving again, the problem came again. Then the owner also experienced the white smoke and bad smell coming from the AC. Each of these issues are being looked at only 20 days after the vehicle is bought. It is worth noting that this is not just the only bad experience to which we came across. From faulty mechanicals to malfunctioning electronics, the owners have issued a number of issues with their Seltos.
- No Response Towards Accident Affected Cars
Many clients are confronting issues with the Kia administration’s focus. One of the owners got into a mishap within 3 days of purchasing the vehicle. Be that as it may, it has been more than 2 months with no reaction from the Kia administration regarding the repairs of the affected vehicle. Additionally, another buyer had his Seltos parked at the Kia workshop for 15 days due to a lack of replacement parts.
