Consumer Description

BOUGHT THE CAR IN FEBRUARY 2020, STARTING THIS WINTER A HIGH PITCHED WHISTLE NOISE CAN BE HEARD FROM THE ENGINE BAY DURING COLD START IN THE MORNING, ESPECIALLY WHEN IT'S FREEZING. DEALERSHIP HAS TRIED TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM TWICE YET THE SOURCE OF THE NOISE CANNOT BE LOCATED. KIA REFUSED TO OFFER MORE HELP, SIMPLY ASKING ME TO WAIT UNTIL IT GETS WORSE OR SOMETHING REALLY BREAKS. THIS KIND OF NOISE COULD BE AN INDICATOR OF OTHER ENGINE OR AIR INTAKE PROBLEM WHICH KIA IS NOT CAPABLE TO DIAGNOSE.
