We bought our 2023 Kia Niro EV used about 9 months ago, and we've been dealing with some frustrating noise issues ever since.

The problems:

• Creaking/rattling sounds when driving over bumps or uneven surfaces
• A chirping/cricket-like noise when accelerating above 50 km/h (around 30 mph)

The mechanic hears exactly what I hear, so I'm not going crazy, but they simply can't figure out what's causing it. We've had the car in for service 5 times now. They've tried various fixes and replaced different parts, but nothing has solved the issue.

Has anyone else experienced these specific problems with their Niro EV? We're actually considering using our consumer rights to return the car and get another Niro EV, because aside from these noises, we absolutely love this car.

Any insights or similar experiences would be greatly appreciated!
