Some Kia Rio owners report experiencing frequent ignition coil failures, leading to the need for multiple replacements. Many have noted an unusually high frequency of these failures, with some needing to replace ignition coils multiple times within a short period, often at least twice or even three times for each coil. To mitigate this issue, experts suggest testing the coil packs using an ohm meter to check for continuity and verify the appropriate ohm values. Symptoms of ignition coil failures can include engine misfires, which may trigger the check engine light. These challenges underscore the importance of proactive maintenance and prompt replacements for Kia Rio owners dealing with this recurring problem.
