Model years to avoid

Kia Borrego

What it says about you

Opinion

A body-on-frame Kia SUV launched directly into a fuel price spike. Sold badly, aged fine.

Not measured, not from the data, and offered in fun. Everything below this is not.

4 model years on record, 92 complaints filed. That is too few to measure against. Every finding on this site compares a year with the same model's other years, and that needs about 40 complaints in a year and 4 years to compare it with. This nameplate has 1. So nothing is claimed either way — the recalls and ratings below are the record, and they are the whole record.

The years to look at closely: 2009 (car). Everything else drew a normal number of complaints for this model.

Every year

  1. 2011 2 recalls 0 complaints
  2. 2010 2 recalls 2 complaints
  3. 2009 car 88 complaints
  4. 2008 0 recalls 2 complaints
