Kia Cases Under New Hampshire Lemon Law
Kia cases in New Hampshire — Theta II engine failures/fires, oil consumption, and EV6 ICCU defect patterns, with cold and salt factors.
Kia has strong New Hampshire market share — Sportage, Sorento, Soul, Forte, and Telluride are common, with AWD trims favored for winter. Kia shares powertrains with Hyundai, so defect patterns overlap. Cases are pursued under the New Hampshire Lemon Law, the CPA, and Magnuson-Moss.
Common Kia defect patterns
- Theta II 2.0T/2.4L engine — bearing failure, seizure, engine fires (extensive recall/class-action history).
- Nu / Gamma engine oil consumption.
- Rod-bearing knock and stalling.
- Dual-clutch (DCT) issues.
- EV6 EV — ICCU failure (12V drain/no-start), cold-weather charging.
- Theft-vulnerability software issues (Kia/Hyundai immobilizer).
New Hampshire Kia market
- Sportage / Sorento / Telluride AWD SUV volume.
- Soul / Forte core volume.
- Growing EV6 presence.
Safety + CPA leverage
As with Hyundai, Theta II engine fires are a serious safety matter, and the shared recall/class-action history supports CPA treble damages and mandatory fees. Cold aggravates EV6 ICCU issues; road salt drives electrical corrosion.
Bottom line
Kia cases mirror Hyundai’s — Theta II engine failures/fires and EV6 ICCU — and are strongly positioned under New Hampshire law. Use the Arbitration Board for speed. Get a free case review.
