1st Kia Simi Valley Performed Dealer suggested 60,000 Mile service, replace the engine oil or possibly forgot to and gave us the sunshine treatment.
On July 17th, 2024, we took our 2016 Optima in for the 60,000-mile service, at the time the car showed 58,020 miles.
Fast forward to last week to where before a trip we checked the fluid levels to find out that we were almost out of motor oil and that it was dirty. Current mileage is 61,200 miles.
We cannot believe that after 3000 miles we would burn that much oil and have the oil look that old.
We were charged over $350.00 for this service that we believe never happened.
Thank you for your time.

Kia service - door moldings
I purchased a Black 2024 Kia Telluride in November of 2023. The front and rear door moldings on driver and passenger side doors have both completely come off. I have been waiting for 5 months for replacements. Each time I speak with my Sales and Service Supervisors, they tell me there is no ETA on these parts at all. I am riding around in a premium luxury...

I bought my Kia Soul brand new in 2017 because I love the model and have heard many good things about it. Their ads are through the dealer advertisement. I retired that year as well, so I wanted a dependable car because it was going to be my car forever. Fast forward to 2024, the car has no value. I can’t even get my insurance company, which I have dealt...
Read full review of KIA MotorsWarning Alarm
The constant intrusion of “Consider taking a break” warning alarm has destroyed the joy of driving my new 2024 Telluride. I will never buy another Kia unless this can be resolved. This [censored]ic alarm wakes sleeping family members on trips and passengers ask me why that “annoying alarm” keeps going off. Whoever decided that this garbage should be forced upon drivers with no way of disabling it should be terminated.
Desired outcome: Turn off the stupid alarm

I am a first time Kia owner. I have a 2024 Telluride that I will be selling as soon as possible for one reason: The idiotic warning message “Consider taking a break” followed by 5 tones comes on so often for NO GOOD REASON that it has destroyed my love of driving. It wakes up family members trying to sleep on a long trip and passengers ask why that annoying alarm keeps going off. The dealership says nothing can be done about it. Really? Why would someone put such a horrible thing in a car? It is beyond belief to me that this is allowed to continue. It has destroyed the joy of a peaceful drive in the country. No car should be allowed to do that to a driver.
Request to confirm a recall (campaign nu 230047)on Kia Sorento
I am a Kia car owner in Macau. I owned a Kia Sorento 2012 model. The car broke down 2 months ago because of the engine failure. I contacted the dealer, Kia Macau (Resoma Motor Group Limited) and request them to report the engine problem to Kia Headquarter but they refused. I look up in Kia Eu website and found that my car is under a recall because of the engine problem( campaign number 230047). I contacted the dealer but the dealer did not respond.
The dealer did not give me any contact email to Kia Headquarter and I just look up your email from the internet.
I have no way to seek help from as the dealer did not respond. Could you please help forward my email to the relevant department which can help to confirm the recall and contact/ push Kia Macau to do the recall if it is their responsibility.
The VIN of my car is KNAKU811SD5380926
Please reply via email : [protected]@yahoo.com.hk
Claimed loss: Change a new engine for my car for free
Desired outcome: Kia confirm with the recall or to initiate a recall in Macau for the engine problem found in my Kia Sorento

However, we've encountered an issue: all the tires are wearing and tearing at the edges, although the middle tread is intact. We...
Read full review of KIA MotorsWhite paint of 2013 kia peeling.
For sometime we have seen paint on the 2013 Kia peal. It is getting worse and pealing all over the car. We have maintained this car since it was first bought. We took the car to a reputable body shop that paints cars. While there they informed us that it was a Kia problem. They told us that Kia has been selling cars that have white defective paint on the car. Needless to say we were shocked to discover that Kia sold us a car that was defective in its paint on the car.
Desired outcome: Correct the problem created by Kia by paying for the car to be repainted correctly with paint that will not peal.

warranty
I bought a new KIA sorento at a local dealer, in kingsport Tn about 2 months ago, the passenger window stopped working and took it to the Johnson city dealership which is closer for repair/fix. They are trying to say we have to pay because we got it from a different KIA dealership. This is not how warranties are supposed to work, can you contact JC dealership and fix this.
Desired outcome: Dealership needs to do their job and cover warranty

Hello. I own a 2023 Kia Sportage Hybrid. The console surface is very shiny and often has a glare from the sun that shines in the driver’s eyes. I highly recommend you change the surface to matte or something that will not shine in the driver’s eyes and a lighter color on future vehicles. Best wishes. Ty.

Repair to broken passenger side window, steering column and passenger side door handles
Vehicle in for attempted theft, Kia dealership tape up passenger side window due to rain. when I picked up vehicle I noticed paint damage and was told it was due to the tape covering the window to prevent rain inside the car. Was told if I want it painted it would be $500 plus. This damage was caused by the dealership and I feel they should pay for paint job, not try to charge customer for their mistake.
Claimed loss: Paint damage
Desired outcome: Car to be painted

You’ve got every right to be frustrated with KIA Motors. It’s bad enough dealing with an attempted theft, but adding insult to injury with paint damage caused by their own staff? They should be fixing that on their dime, not trying to squeeze another $500 out of you. This one’s clearly on them, and they need to step up and make it right.

This year, because the windshield cracked further and I wa...
