I purchased a used 2017 KIA Sportage with the knock warranty. My car has had a total engine failure. They are refusing to repair my car. They say it is a different failure than the knock warranty. The car is valued at around $6,500 they want $6700 plus to repair it. The car is at 170K+ miles. The Wasatch front Kia dealer in Ogden UT has been extremely kind...

I purchased my car, a 2023 KIA Sportage, in May of 2022. Beyond the Manufacturers warranty, I purchsed an extended warranty for bumper to bumper coverage for 100,000 miles. On April 8, my wife was driving my 6-month-old granddaughter home when the engine light started flickering on and off and the car kept stalling. We called Willowbrook KIA and brought it...

On 6 May 2024 I took my vehicle, a Kia Rio 2020, to the Kia dealership in Fredericton, NB when the malfunction indicator light came on indicating something was wrong. This is not the first time I had my car in there for this problem and my vehicle is still under warranty. I have had my car in there at least 3 times for the same thing. They did another...

Dear Kia Team, My experience with your customer support in Korea and Europe was rather disappointing. In short: There was no support, but rather giving me a run-around and no one was willing to help. I imported a Carnival from Korea to Europe. European officials won´t allow it on roads as they would need some official data from the manufacturer that the...

Dear Sir/Madam, On Sunday, April 14th, 2024, I took possession of a Kia Carens Prestige 7 (iMT) variant at approximately 1 PM IST. Regrettably, the vehicle displayed a technical fault from the outset. Despite this, I have not yet received the pre-delivery inspection quality certificate from the sales department. Upon driving the car home, I encountered a...

Good day All, Hope you are well! On the 9th of March 2024, I paid for parts which KIA South Africa didn't have in stock. I was only told on Monday; the 11th of March that the stock has been ordered and will be coming directly from Korea and the estimate date in 21 days. The replacement is out of Warranty, so this was a cash deal and had no alternative...

My name is Dr. Louay Labban, I am a proud owner of Kia Forte 2016 and I have been an owner of many Kia vehicles. Last month the traction and service lights appeared on my dash board and I was concerned about the vehicle so I towed the car to Hendricks Kia in Concord, NC. Since that time which has been around a month, they have been guessing about the issue...

KIA Motors 2017 kia sorento

Engine burns through oil. I have to add oil all the time - 2 quarts a week. There is no leak. The exterior rear of the car will not stay clean, it’s burning so much oil. Our mechanic suggests that we “hang in there” in hopes that Kia will recall the engine. We are trying to hang on but we will not likely buy another Kia in the future. This is a big expense for me!

Desired outcome: Recall the engine for using excessive oil

I purchased a brand new Kia Sportage at Uptown Kia in Cornwall, Ontario in 2020. First off, I want to say what a beautiful showroom this is and how amazing all the staff are at this location. Very friendly, helpful and it's always easy to make appointments in a timely manner. The job at hand gets done, but there are obviously serious issues beyond their...

KIA Motors Kia sportage

I purchased a vehicle from kia west coquitlam. Had it approximately a week, the more time went on then more I realized I don't like anything about the vehicle. They have a 30 day return policy supposedly. So I contacted them and told them I was unhappy with the vehicle and didn't like it. That's when I was told I can't return it, I'd have to trade it in which would give me double negative equity. So he basically said just keep the vehicle that you paid over 30 grand for and hate. Keep it for a year then bring it in and get what I want. Gee thanks buddy. What a crock. Don't advertise 30 day returns if you don't intend on honoring it. I also feel like there is something wrong with the vehicle.its shifts very hard and I can feel that sometimgnis not right underneath. I wish I had just stayed with the original dealer I was going to. I will never purchase from these guys again!

Desired outcome: Want them to honor their 30 day return policy so I can get a vehicle I like and that is working properly.

KIA Motors Recall on vehicle not able to get repaired.

I have been trying to get the recall on my vehicle checked and/or repaired. The dealership has said there isn't a fix. Also, I can't get them to call me back or speak to me directly. I am retired and this is my only vehicle. The VIN is KNDCB3LCXL5400184. I have called Burt Ogden Kia in Harlingen, TX and Mike Shaw Kia in Corpus Christi, TX due to that is where I purchased the vehicle.

It has been months since I first began trying to rectify the recall.

I am at a loss as to what to do next.

Desired outcome: Repaired or replaced vehicle.
