Quick summary

Total: 202 cars

The 2009 KIA ProCeed has an overall defect rate of 434 defects per 100 vehicles, which is 40% higher than the average for cars of the same year, at 310 defects per 100. Notably, this model shows a significant increase in defects as mileage rises, particularly in the 93,000 to 124,000 miles range, where defects reach 592 per 100. While it performs better in the "Other" category, the ProCeed stands out negatively in several areas, particularly with brakes (199 defects per 100), steering (31 defects per 100), and lights and electrics (104 defects per 100), all of which exceed the average rates. Overall, this model appears to face more challenges in critical safety-related defects compared to its peers.
