Common Problem

TL;DR
• Infotainment and connectivity issues, such as problems with the Kia Connect app. • Coolant level concerns without visible leaks. • Various electronic system warnings and sensor issues.
Infotainment and Connectivity Issues
One of the recurring complaints about the 2022 Kia Carnival is related to its infotainment and connectivity features. Users have reported that the Kia Connect app can be unreliable, with remote start functions not working consistently and limited control over certain features like the heated steering wheel. These issues seem to have been improved in later model years.
Coolant Level Concerns
Another common issue noted by owners is the coolant level running low without any apparent leaks. Some users have speculated that this might be due to evaporation or other factors, but it remains a point of concern for those monitoring their vehicle's maintenance.
Electronic System Warnings
Several owners have experienced issues with electronic system warnings, including alerts for lane following assist, rear cross traffic, forward safety, and blind spot systems. These problems have sometimes been linked to faulty sensors or ABS modules needing replacement ,. In some cases, these issues were temporarily resolved by restarting the vehicle.
Warranty Considerations
It's important to note that Kia's warranty policies may affect how these issues are addressed. The warranty does not fully transfer to new owners if the vehicle is sold, which could impact coverage for powertrain and electronics. However, extended warranties are available for purchase, which might be worth considering if you are buying a used 2022 model.
Overall Reliability
Despite these issues, some owners report positive experiences with their 2022 Kia Carnival, citing minimal problems and satisfaction with the vehicle's performance. As with any vehicle, individual experiences can vary, and potential buyers should consider both the benefits and drawbacks before making a decision.
