Question Safety issues
Has anyone had issues with Kia Rio and safety with the vehicle. I am looking at purchasing used so I thought I would go to the experts. I have done research and seen issues about brakes and bearings.

I have a 2002 rio with 150k and have never had any major problems. All parts exceeded normal life spans
