Fayetteville KIA sent out flyers indicating a prize giveaway. The flyer had three chances at winning. My flyer indicated I was the winner of $1000.00. I called the phone number on the flyer and entered the code on the flyer and was told via recording that yes I was a winner. I went to the dealership to claim my prize, only to be told that I had to speak to a salesman. I explained to him I had a new car and was not interested in buying a car. He said I was only a winner if my code matched the codes on a display board in the showroom. My code did not match any of those codes. This is nothing but a scam. I would like to know what prize the recording had indicated I had "won". I feel like the dealership owes me the gas I used to get to and from the dealer. (Over 100 miles traveled). I would never buy a KIA product!!!!!!

I have a 2019 kia Optima. No my car has not been stolen as of yet but the issue I have is that my car has been in the shop under warranty since august waiting on a part that's not available in the United States or Korea.... No word of when the part is coming being made... I have a 2 2 year old daughter and a demanding job I have to drive to and from to. The dealership does not offer loaner vehicles and was told they would reimburse a rental. The problem with that is rental fees, paying the notes on the vehicle, and insurance coverage is completely out of my budget. I can't continue like this any longer! Help!

My car was stolen on May 30 house a rental for a month and then paying for four months of a rental out-of-pocket. OK I want to offer the thousand dollar credit because my insurance covered the loan the car was found totaled and I am emotionally for a part because I drive using my car to get to and from work with sometimes can be an hour away. Hopefully, Kia can get back to me and make this right.

I have a 2016 Kia Sorento that i enjoy driving. At least i did until the engine was toast. The lifetime warranty that was given to cover engine repair/replacement, at first an amazing offer, turned out to b garbage. My car had to b towed because the engine faltered. I had earlier issues, one of which required me to drive it 35 miles in limp mode to the dealership. On that visit, i was told no engine replacement yet but prob next time engine light came on. There was already evidence that the engine was giving issues. As noted, car towed this time. Problem diagnosed and recommendation was engine replacement. Of course the caveat was i have to pay $6500. They say wrong part of the engine was damaged according to the warranty. I say the company put out the recall and lifetime warranty, plus there's all kinds of info about vehicles using oil, etc. it's all engine issues. Kia, just do the right thing and replace these engines! IT'S ALL ENGINE ISSUES.

I have a 2017 Kia Sorrento , 84k miles. This is still a fairly new car, BUT I am now burning oil. I brought it in to North East Kia on Tarrytown rd to check it out. They told me it's not burning oil, when I checked it for the last week and it was going down everyday. They updated my recalls and told me to go. When I left the dealership my check engine light came on and then all week I couldn't put gas in my car. They told me they would check it out next time I came in. I came into today at 9am for my appointment. They told me at 1 pm that it was a gas issue $300. I asked about the burning oil again and they said it's fine. I asked when my car would be ready they said 4 to 5pm. I said that is ridiculous, my car was there at 9 am. They didn't address the major issue which was the burning oil and tried to fix something that wasn't an issue until I left the dealership last time. I am going to report this to the better business and let all friends and family know KIA is not a good car and because I am the second owner they didn't honor the warranty. How can you fix this?

I'm writing to you to express my disappointment in you warranty honoring system. We own KIA Sorrento 2005 with only has 35K miles on it. We have always performed regular maintenance on the car in timely manner. On 12/3/2014 during our first storm we tried to put the car into 4 wheel drive. It started shaking, had a very loud noise and strong smell of oil. We took the car to our mechanic who told us that our front differential needs to be replaced and the total cost is over $1700. Since the car is 2005 and KIA offers 10years/10K miles warranty, we called the warranty department. We were were given a case number and told that the car IS still under warranty and we need to bring it to the dealer as soon as possible, which we did the following day. Dealer told us we need to agree to pay $110 for diagnostic which will be refunded if car is covered under warranty and repairs are performed. Since we were told by KIA warranty that it is covered we agreed to this. After diagnostic we were called back by the warranty department and told that since we took delivery of the car on September 29th 2014 and it's now December 4th we are NO longer covered. There are so many things wrong here that I'm not sure where to begin. First of all, the problem with front deferential could only be determined in the winter and last winter it worked fine.

We did not use 4 wheel drive in September so could not have known about the issue. Secondly, we should NOT have been told that we are covered under the warranty then told that we are not AFTER we paid $110 to the dealer for the diagnostic which we did not need. We already knew what's wrong with the car. Not sure if this is a normal scam practiced by your company. And third of all, you should be embarrassed to build a car where after 35K miles front differential needs to be replaced. After doing some research it's apparently a very common problem in KIA Sorrento and lots of people complaining that their 4 wheel drive is not functioning properly. I'm hoping to hear from you with a resolution.

Purchased a 2011 KIA SOUL brand new. The battery and tires were replaced due to problems before 8 months of owning the KIA SOUL.I am at 94,600 miles (within the 100,000 mile warranty)and having valve problems. You do not get up to 94,000 miles if you DO NOT change oil in your vehicle. My car has been taken care of and pretty much Babied even with the highway miles my job helped with putting on my KIA SOUL. KIA needs a central computer to keep track of consumers information so we don't have to call and wait for replies of service done out of state. I have been without my KIA for almost 4 weeks with NO work done due to waiting for receipts. 100,000 mile warranty, I'm within it, HONOR YOUR BACKING!!! contact your rep and have him call South Hills KIA to Authorize the work so I may continue to boast on how great KIA is; "You can have this, or You can have that!" (just like your 2011 commercial)

Thank You!

Greetings, I am Oscar H. Padua, Jr. , CS No. : EC-7970 which I purchased last Nov. 16,2011, through the assistance of sales representative Mr. Jomar Planas of KIA Manila Bay, Philippines. After 1 year and 4 months of proper use of the Carens, the running performance of the said unit suddenly deteriorated in such a way that it had no power in running specially in going uphill. The accelerator was not proportionate to the running condition. So I had it checked up in the KIA , Dasmarinas, Cavite branch on March 9,2012. The attending personnel said it was probably due to a fuel line stuck up. The Carens was discharged on the same day, however when I drove it on my way home, I noticed that the problem was still there and there was no improvement on the running condition. So I immediately returned to the Dasmarinas Kia service center to have it checked up again. The attending personnel told me that it was more on a clutch problem and even rudely accused me of being a clutch driver. So I had to leave the Carens again for them to be able to look closer into the problem. As days went by , they discovered that the defect was on a defective part which was the 'FLY WHEEL', they told me that they still had to import the said defective part in Korea so it would take time. And so true , I was able to get back my Carens after 1 month and eleven days on April 20, 2012. It was a good thing , I had another car of another brand which I was able to use. Then, shockingly after 8 months of proper use, the same problem of loss of running power recurred again. This time I brought the Carens to the Manila Bay Service Center last Dec. 11,2012 where it stayed there for 2 days. Then more shockingly again, after 18 days of proper use, on January 1, 2014, while I was on an outing in Batangas with my family, the same old problem recurred. Immediatly , I reported the problem to the manila Bay Service advisor by the name of Cleo on January 2,2013. I informed Sir Cleo that I won't be able to bring in the Carens because my other unit is also under repair during that time, which would be available after 2 weeks.

You can just imagine the inconvenience , waste of time and effort that me and my family has experienced due to the inferiority of the Carens. I am a Doctor and I can not afford to loose a car because of the nature of my profession. Incidences like this may cause loss of human lives. I usually attend to extreme emergencies at any time of the day, so you can imagine what can happen if my unit breaks down in a middle of an emergency.

Because of this I have lossed confidence in Kia. Aside from that, whenever I get behind the wheel of my Carens, I have this extreme fear and phobia and loss of peace of mind while driving, as well as my family.

In the light of this , I would like to request your good office to please help me with my problem. I beg of you to please help me, for the sake of my family and my patients specially during emergencies. I will be patiently awaiting your response. Thank you very much and God Bless.



Respectfully,

Oscar H. Padua, Jr.

I had recently purchased a 2013 Kia Soul. (They called me and said that I was approved; I filled an application online.)

The salesman said it would be better to lease. I saw a commercial on the TV. It said that I could purchase the Kia for $99/month with no down payment. If this is true, then why do I have to pay over $250?

HI!I WENT TO COBB KIA in Marietta GA. I had purchase a use car and the sales person told me to put down $2000.00, I told him I did not have all of it at once, so he told me to put down $500.00 and the rest when I get paid. The day I got paid was in the afternoon I call the financial department let them know not to deposit the check until Monday. they did listen to me and deposit on Friday so the check bounce, I had to pay $37.00 for the bounce check. I had called KIA several times and they never return my calls. but! instead they call and made threat that they would put out an warrant for me, because I had stolen $1500.00, and I should bring in the money certify right away. I though they would have put the check back through or even let me know. I am so upset of the way that financial person talked to me. I have to money to give , but! sales people behavior, I will never do nor send any one to this KIA. oh! and the worst part of it! they were suppose the fix the window and something else, but! they refused to see me. they get their commission and that's that

Love my 2013 Kia Soul except for one thing. I hate that all the doors unlock as soon as the car is placed in park. Is there a way to disable this feature? Please let me know and inform your dealer service departments as well. Thanks

we bought a 2012 soul 18 months ago. we have 42,000 miles on the car. I took it in for service yesterday and asked them to check the rear brakes as the pads were and are tearing up the rotors. they came back and said that the rear brakes are good.. wow, rotors in the rear are scored really bad and they say they are good... Of course it's not a warranty item,, but their book in the glove box says that a warranty is supposed to cover manufactured defects. I told them it didn't take a college education to see that the front rotors are in excellent shape, but the rear pads were eating the rotors up. The pads were damaging the rear rotors the moment we drove it off the lot. But it isn't a warranty item... I will never, never, ever buy another kia car again. I believe in honesty, but this one takes the cake. I believe if I was selling cars and something was messing up something else, I would do all I could to keep the customer happy. I would replace the rotors because the manufactured pads were tearing them up, and replace the pads to keep the new rotors good. It would probably cost kia around 100.00 to fix the problem that their new car caused in the first place, and then guess what ?? customer happy because they stood by their product, and now the customer would come back later and buy another car in the future because the dealer saw it wasn't the customers fault.. But no way,, it's not a warranty item,,,,, so they lose around 10,000,,,,,because they didn't want to fix a 100.00 item..... Listen,,,,,you want some real good advice ????? Don't buy a KIA,,,,,,,,,,,They don't care about you...........This is a simple problem that is clearly their fault.. What problem will you encounter if you buy their car ?? I wish I would have read these before I bought their car.....you have that chance.....What goes around,,,comes around.......they will have their day.......feel free to contact me anytime,, or just look for my KIA with the magnets on the side of my car saying something like SHAME ON YOU KIA FOR NOT HONORING YOUR WARRANTY........

My daughter recently bought a car from Central Kia of Irving Texas. This was the most dishonest transaction I have ever seen. The salesman and manager agreed to a price. However, when it came time to do the paper work they told my daughter their computer system would not accept the price so they needed to raise it by over $400 so the system would work properly. My daughter offer to pay the $400 in Exchange for 8 free oil changes over 2 years. The sales manager smugly responded no. After some further haggling my daughter agreed to pay an additional $200. Amazingly their system accepted the new price. They lied! I would strongly advise anyone doing business with the dealership to be careful. They have no integrity it honesty.

I had been looking for a car for about 2 months. I did all the research. So I went to Team Kia because I felt they would be one of the better ones in this area. Well I guess they seen I women walking in the door and figuered I didnt know what I was doing. I took the car for a test drive and I said to the salesman that when I put the brakes on the car shook like the rotors or brakes were bad. He said he would get them check and I could pick the car up the next day. I should let you know that it is a used car. A 2010. Only three years old. Well I picked up the car and I was driving it home and it did the same thing. I called them about it and was told that the saleman only told them that it was sqeaking and didnt look at anything more. They did come the next day and pick it up to fix it. After I had called them I found 2 othere problems, when they came and picked up the car I had told them about it. One of the problems was my back tail light had water in it. This is the BIG kicker. When I called about when they were bringing my car back and asked about what they did to my back light i was told, get ready for this, that the FILTER needed to be cleaned and that everything was ok now. FILTER in the back light get freakn real. What they did was drill two holes in the bottom of the light. It's amazing how stupid they think women are. I will NEVER buy another car off of this dealership and I will tell everone I know about this dealship and I work next door to a company that employees over 300 people. I will post on Facebook and tell everyone from my bowling league. I guess they thought that just because I am a women and blond that I must be stupid and would just go with what they told me no matter how asinine it was. I am VERY disappointed with this Kia dealership.

My wife and I have a 2007 Kia Sedona that is bought and paid for. It is a part of our family.Sadly , the key fobs that we have are not as reliable structure wise. The part that loops around our key rings broke off. It is made to be used in connection with your car keys. But , we are just frustrated that we can just get a replacement part or piece.We were told that we would have to pay 86.00 a piece for the two of them. We don't have that kind of money.I have called the dealership and looked around and can't get any help.The fobs work but without the fob ring one can easily lose them. Please help .

I went to Kia of Gastonia to buy a car I was approved and drive off the lot with a Kia sorento. Told them everything about my credit history and the amount I get paid. I then started getting phone calls for the entire week they called me a lier and so called the Kia dealership it took several days to get answers only after I went back and demanded them to give me my money and my trade back. They then locked me in a small office and told me I had to buy the car then labeled me a thief I never in my life been call a thief!!! I said my wife has the other key to the car and will drop off the next day at 6:30 in the morning they said no then I ask can I have the keys to my car they said no leaving me stranded in the office I made a personal phone call and was walking out of the office and into the lot I was followed and was unable to make my call then they would not give me part of my money that I put down in cash I spent 16 hours in that place in a few days I asked to speak to the owner of the store the told me hell no the general manager talked down to me he needs to be reported and fired!!!

I opened the passenger side door and went to set down and I fell into the seat! the seat is four inches lower then the drivers side, what the hells with that? KIA should have some kind of a fix for this. Try this and see what I mean. Thanks.

My name is Susan Byrd and I live in Charlotte, NC. Yesterday afternoon 7/7/2012 I was involved in a rollover accident in my 2006 Kia Sorento. I walked away with only minor bruises and scratches because my car's seat belt held me in place until I was able to release the connector and crawl out of the car. I just want to say thank you for designing such a reliable system to keep drivers safe. I hope to own another Kia because I have loved this one so much. It has always been a very reliable and efficient car. Thank you again Kia for helping me to walk away from an accident that could have been a disaster.
