2022 Kia Carnival

In 2022, the Kia Carnival recorded 131 complaints, 6 recalls, one investigation, and 91 total safety bulletins, a level that sits above the 46 complaints and 4 recalls of 2023 but below the 119 complaints of 2025. The trend shows a dip in complaints and recalls from 2022 to 2023, a modest rebound in 2024, a sharp increase again in 2025, and a dramatic drop in 2026. The top complaint areas for 2022—“Unknown Or Other” (23), “Structure” (21), “Electrical System” (11), and “Visibility/Wiper” (8)—highlight the most frequent issues without specifying root causes. With only four crash-related complaints and zero fire complaints in 2022, the safety profile appears relatively stable compared to the higher complaint volume. Given the moderate recall count and the absence of major safety incidents, 2022 remains a reasonable year to consider, though buyers should weigh the higher complaint volume relative to later years.
