There are several common causes for a non-starting Kia Rio. It could be a dead battery, a faulty starter, or an issue with the ignition switch. I recommend checking the battery first and making sure all connections are clean and tight. If the battery is fine, then it's best to take it to a mechanic for further diagnosis.

Another potential cause for a non-starting Kia Rio could be a problem with the fuel system. Check if you have enough gas and make sure the fuel pump is functioning properly. If the fuel system checks out, then it's best to have the car checked by a professional.

In some cases, a non-starting Kia Rio could be due to a faulty engine immobilizer. If the security light on the dashboard is flashing, then this could be the issue. Check your owner's manual for instructions on how to reset the immobilizer or bring it to a dealership for assistance.
