JUST WEEKS AFTER PURCHASING MY KIA, IT HAD TO BE BROUGHT BACK TO REPLACE CRACKED DASH, HEATED STEERING WHEEL PEELING, TIRES WEARING ON THE OUTSIDE, WIPER BLADES SUCKED & YOU COULD NOT SEE OUT OF THEM WHEN IT RAIN, CRACKED OUTSIDE OF SUNROOF SEAL, PULLING TO LEFT SIDE AND SURGES. THEY PUT NEW TIRES, STEERING WHEEL & FIXED THE DASH. THE SERVICE MANAGER STATED THE SPECS WERE WITHIN NORMAL LIMITS FOR THE ALIGNMENT & TRANSMISSION. THE OUTSIDE OF THE SUNROOF IS NORMAL WEAR & TEAR & IT WILL CRACK AGAIN, STATED THE SUN CRACKS IT! IT HAS BEEN IN THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT 5 TIMES! EVEN THOUGH MY CAR IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY! I HAVE HAD 4 SET OF TIRES & THEY WEAR ON THE OUTSIDE, IT STILLS PULLS TO THE LEFT & I WAS TOLD THE ALIGNMENT IS NORMAL. 6 SETS OF NEW WIPER BLADES & THEY SAY THAT'S NOT...
ON 04/15/2011 OUR 2011 KIA OPTIMA WAS DAMAGED BY MICE EATING WIRES IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. WE NEED AN ENGINE HARNESS REPLACED. DEALER TOLD US THAT THE PART IS NOT IN THE US. THEY ALSO TELL US THAT THEY DON'T KNOW WHEN IT WILL BE FOUND. ON 5/3/2011 WE WERE TOLD THAT IT MIGHT BE AVAILABLE ON 6/112011. THIS CAR HAS APPROX. 1050 MILES. THE SERVICE MANAGER AT THE DEALER HAS BEEN GREAT IN KEEPING US UPDATED. OUR PROBLEM IS WITH THE LAX ATTITUDE I RECEIVED FROM KIA CS, AND THE "PARTS MANAGER OF THE REGION" FROM NJ THAT CALLED ME AND TOLD ME THAT WE JUST HAVE TO WAIT. WHILE WE MAKE OUT MONTHLY LEASE PAYMENTS TO KIA. HOW IS THAT A COMPANY CAN HAVE NO PARTS TO REPAIR A BRAND NEW VEHICLE AND STILL MAKE MONEY FROM US? *TR
