Contact Kia Corporate

My account has been paid off since September of 2021 there’s an outstanding balance that needs to be paid to me from Kia and nothing has been done about it yet I’ve tried called multiple times and sent emails and nothing is being done very poor service I’m very unsatisfied

Was having issues with my cars temperature gage going all the way to as hot as it can get while parked. Heat and air not blowing unless the car was in motion. Took the under warranty still Kia Sorento in to the dealership where they had it for days and said it was all fixed. Well it wasn’t. Took it back and now they state there is a blown head gasket and that unfortunately they would have to keep
My car at least a month. No
Loaner vehicles available and sorry. So a month comes and I receive a call, it’s all fixed. New engine rebuilt. Had the car 36 hours and while driving on the highway to work the car starts acting up, makes horrible noise and dies. Call Kia towing tell them the situation. They tell me towing is not covered, charged me 125.00 dollar towing fee. Call them today to find out what is wrong now and am notified that Kias engines are garbage and that I need another ENGINE!!!! This time it will take a minimum of two months!!! Call Kia Customer Service to see what options or remedies they can come up with and the “ Agent” basically tells me to go fly a kite, deal with it and there is nothing anyone will do for me. Great Job Kia!!

I have a kia Niro that you can smell gas in the oil it bellows smoke out the back end and coolant just flows out the back. I took it to summit place kia in auburn hill mi in Oct. 2021 from engine light on they reset it and said they couldn't find anything wrong. In Nov. 2021 I took it back to summit kia for the same problem they were going to send me home with the vehicle doing the same thing until I made the mechanic ride with me then he seen what I was talking about he said No one told me it was doing that.. I contacted kia Corp and spoke with 10 diffent people and a case # 14486243 handled by Britney 3 wks have gone by with No loaner and a bill from service for $1600. Still no msg or call from Britney at Kia Corp and No help from additional warranty purchased when I bought the car in 2017. I have purchased 3 cars from Kia since 2013 after this crappy and unprofessional service even with 100000 mile warrant kia has not lived up to there warranty and I won't purchase another KIA

Poor service... after a $902 bill I am still having mechanical issues with my vehicle.

I called on October 3 to make a payment and talk to kia about getting a defferment the first rep told me I qualified for 2 and after the payment went through I could call back and they could process them. I called vack and the lady was so rude did not want to honor the notes and refused to get me a supervisor worst experience ever. I plan on taking this to the top kia needs to honor what they tell you and I had been sick with covid. Train your people from overseas to be nice im.nice and expect the same.

I leased Kia seltos 2021. What a horrible car.It’s in the dealers work shop 3 times with the same problem, less than 9k miles.It just dies,starts rattling and stalls the transmission shuts off completely in the middle of the highway which is very dangerous.Manager of the service department Brain is very unprofessional.Car is in work shop for 4 days and no body is even calling me to let me know the progress.Ask for a loaner and they refused.Staff at Kia Karp in Rockville center ny got to get better.I’m very disappointed to how they’re handling this.I want to get out of this lease right away. Please I request someone to please get in touch with me to resolve this issue.

hello,

I took my car on Saturday for Service. (2016Kia Soul) I receive a letter to take my car to reset something in the engine or a sensor, but when we left we notice the car acting weird and a noise. Thank God we didn't take the freeway , because they left my hood open and I even notice some scratches in my globe compartment , that my car didn't have. I know my car is not a new car ,but still. The kids out side don't even know how to move the cars. This two kids one with short curly hair and the other skinny with glasses driving the cars like if they were toys. Get more professional people please and The mechanics to be more careful after they return the cars. Horrible Experience!!!!!!!!

Worst company ever. The number for Corporate Complaints is for roadside assistance and no one ever calls you back. I am still waiting for the corporate office to contact me.

Hollywood Kia customer service is the absolute worst. I been waiting over five months for a refund check. I left numerous messages and even went in person and still no refund check. The manager does not respond or return phone calls. I've bought five Suv's from them and this is how they treat me, one of their loyal customer. Do not purchase their warranties because when you try to cancel, you will get the run around.

Michael Kia of Groton, CT “repaired” my front right light a few months ago. Little did I know, they caused a fire hazard and it was slowly catching fire the whole time. Had it second checked by a private mechanic after it went out on 19SEP21 and was informed that I had a fire hazard on my car. Great time!

I had a oil light blinking ,I went to Phil Smith Kia for service. To say the least I was in a vounable state and very nervous ot thinking I let the sell me a wheel alignment, new new air and compartment filters, they tried to sell me a battery this car is a 2018 soul with 26000 miles they didn't find out what the the warrantee problem was until they finished the other work 8 spent 591 dollars they tried to tell me my battery needed replacing I said I will do it I took it to A1 !uto parts they said it check out perfect on their machine.at the end of th e day he said he blew out the oil pressure line.591 for alot of not needed repairs aI will ne er bring my car ba k to them again.anther 5hing I told them 5he take from a red light was sluggish the sold me injection service then after they were done he said that the problem was the type of transmission t h e car had. Crooks if you ask me the care is still sluggish on takeoff . This was done on 08/18/21

On August 6 at 12:12 PM I noticed that my car would not start. I proceeded to call the Kia roadside assistance and gave them the Vin number of my car The representative told me that my car was not covered for roadside assistance because I did not own an Optima I owned a Sorrento. He said that the Sorrento did not have coverage for roadside assistance I told him that I drive an Optima. He told me to get out of the car and go look at the back of it and tell him what kind of car I drove as if I don’t know what type of car I bought. This set the precedence for the rest of my calls for me not to have any faith in the Kia company since their employee had already accused me ofNot giving the right information. After I calm down I called back to the customer service department and I spoke to a very nice lady who helped me to look into the root cause of why your system would not allow me to have roadside assistance on my Optima. She came back after researching and told me that there had been a mixup and eight Sorrento was also listed under the same Vin number as mine in your roadside assistance system. She could not supply any information as to how this could’ve occurred other than just human error. I have worked in customer service for years and I understand how mistakes are made however the first person that I spoke to was very rude. After the lady found out what was wrong she got a manager involved and they were able to get the system worked out and get me approved to have my car towed however it did not get picked up until 5:30 PM. So now my car is sitting at a garage and I will not get it back until Monday so I am without a vehicle for the entire weekend because one guy decided that I did not know what type of car I drove and would not help me fix the issue. I have dealt with your customer service before and I’ve been pleased with the outcome. But due to one person’s action it has put me in a bad mood for the rest of the day and has made my faith in your company very low. I am hoping to get my car back soon but I am not sure what is wrong with it or how long it will take but it could’ve been completed today possibly without the delay I had somebody just took my word for what type of car I actually own.

In 2019 I traded in my 2013 Toyota Camry for Kia Sorento LXW FWD. The sales rep was very pleasant, I think his name is Chris, he said he looks like Johnny Depp! He said as I was a single parent, he would help me get the best deal because he is also a single parent. We test drove a KIA Sorento VS and I liked it. My Toyota Camry was valued on Kelley Blue Book for $8,705. I didn’t realize until later that Chris traded my car for $8,000 and not $8,705. I had to also put $6,000 cash down. Chris said the car lease would cost $350/mo. This was too much as I wanted to pay below my current monthly finance payment which was around $260. Chris checked the inventory and said there is another car exactly the same as I drove in the same color and would do a deal. He said he could do this for $265 which I was happy with. We went to look at the car and he said everything is exactly the same except there is no individual ACs, heated seats and automatic seat adjustments. I took the wear and tear plan also which increased the payment to $295.79. Signed the deal! Over the next week or so I started to realize that I didn’t like the ‘feel’ of the car, e.g. when I put my foot on the peddle to accelerate it was slow to move and the car sound was not as smooth and sounded ‘grindy’. I also started to ask myself why am I paying too much for leasing a car? Especially as I traded in my car and put cash down! I started researching and went to another Kia dealer. I test drove a Kia Sorento VS and this car was smooth and had the amenities as the car I test drove at Stevens Creek. We talked numbers and I gave the exact numbers as was on the lease I signed. i.e. $8000 for trade in and $6000 cash down. The dealer quoted $260/mo for the VS! He also mentioned that 2019 cars come with privacy screen, which I did not get from Stevens Creek. I was also told that I didn’t need to put cash down either and said it would only mean you pay an extra $20 or so! Shockingly, when I went to Kia Stevens Creek website and did an online calculation and inputted all the same payment details for the car I have, cash down, trade in, etc. the cost was $129/mo. There were rebates included! I did not receive any rebates! Another example if I had full trade in value cost would have been $108/mo. (see screenshot) When I further researched, I found new cars get cash rebates/incentives, cash offers! I then started seeing TV adverts for the same car I have for $219/mo with less cash down at $3,650 and no trade in!! (see screenshot) I also phone Kia Customer Service and told them about this and had a case open with them but they recommended speaking to Kia Stevens Creek dealers first. I spent weeks trying to contact the General Manager, Tony whom I’m told is the most senior person I can talk to. He did call me back once, but we kept missing each other’s call. I then emailed him a few times over the months and did not receive a response. When seeing advertisements, I feel very much cheated and scammed by Kia Stevens Creek! Especially as I am a single parent. I did not get a good deal. I even emailed the President and CIO of Kia and did not get a response. I emailed James Bell, Head of Public Relations from Kia USA and received a response! He said “Our dealers are franchised members of our business and as such are not employees of Kia Motors America. A customer financial decision and contract is entered with the dealer as a separate entity...not Kia Motors America. A complaint such as your own would need to be taken to the dealer for any potential solution.” So, not even Kia HQ will get involved, knowing that Kia Stevens Creek cheated me!

I am very agitated with KIA’s service. I took my car 3 weeks ago to have my horn fixed. They called me and told me to come get it, that they would have to order a new horn and that it should be in that following Wednesday. It is now 3 weeks later and they have not contacted me yet. I have contacted them 3 different times and all they tell me is the horn has not come in yet and they will give me a call. Another issue is when I returned to pick my car up, when I got home my son wanted to know what I had hit. I replied nothing. He then lifted my hood and found where they had taken 3 screws out and did not screw them back. They had left the screws on the outside of the car’s windshield. I even contacted the corporate office and received the same response ( I’ll call you back).

Hello
I had an accident at the beginning of April 2021 I go to see kia agency kram (bouchamaoui chabchoub) for the repair, they tell me that they must make a paying estimate deductible from the final bill; I leave the car, they make an estimate with 13 missing parts we check on computer the availability of parts; they confirm me that they are available and put aside for the preparation of my car and that it misses only two parts to order. They ask me to pay 50% of the amount of the 02 missing parts and I order them to arrive 01 month later. When I come back after more than a month and after continuous calls to which they never answer to see if the parts have arrived, they tell me yes they have arrived but we don't have an appointment for the repair before 15 days. they give me an appointment on paper to bring the car in for repair on the 28/06/2021; I show up the same day, I order a rental car whose driver comes to see me on the spot at the kia house and who has been paid for the 10 days of rental but a surprise awaits me: the head of the spare parts department as well as the lady at the counter had lied to me because the initial parts that were in stock are no longer in stock and should be ordered and waited for another 1 month or more The only pretext they had to tell me is that these two people will be absent for 14 days because they have the covid and in the meantime I don't know what to do and who will pay for the expenses; I can't even change branch to go and repair somewhere else because they made me pay for the estimate and the advance on the spare parts to demand that I only repair at their place.
I find only one explanation for this is the lack of seriousness and professionalism of the team of Kram accompanied by a nonchalance and involuntary work; already that the Tunisians pay enormously expensive cars because of the customs too high and if then we do not find a competent after-sales service nobody will ever buy from them since to take the money they are the first but to solve problems they are the last and more they take people for fools.
now it's almost three months later and I'm still at the starting point with nothing in my hands

I have a 2017 Kia Forte with barely 22,000 miles on it.
The service engine light came on in early May, was taken to Pomona Kia on 5/10 to be fixed.
I was told that the reading couldn't be found and told to return again if it came up.
The next day the service engine light went on again. I played phone tag with the service manager and finally got another appointment for 6/15.
The service engine light came on again 6/18. Obviously the issue is not being resolved and Kia offers no rental cars for an extended stay.
I had a 2011 Kia Forte that was in a near fatal car accident with over 124,000 miles never with any issues.
I am being sent to Kia Covina on Monday 6/21 to hopefully get the issue resolved.
Note: Between my wife and 2 older daughters we have owned six Kia's since 2011. If needed I will turn this one in under the lemon law!

I have a 2019 kia Forte with 19000 miles and it dies while driving and sometimes jerks when I am driving it I have taken it to Kia and they can not find anything wrong so I tried again to have it looked at and wanted 300 just to look at. So I took it to a different shop and found out it needs a torque converter. Every kia in my area has a 3 week out to get it in and they all still need to look at it and want the 300. And also they are saying the part is not covered.

First, I had taken my Kia Rio to the service Department (Had it towed) due to the fuel ignition system. It was VERY hard to start and it was missing and it was admitting WHITE exhaust. They said they could not find the problem, let it run and tried to say it was BAD gas. TWO months later it was missing and trying to stall. Prayed the whole time I got it two the dealer and they found the problem. It was still under warranty (that was good) Said it would be until the next day. I explained I was planning to go out of town (3 day holiday) WELL, kept waiting that Friday for a call and I had to call that late afternoon. They returned my call and said the automaniac worker had to leave for an emergency. I understand that, BUT why did they not call me before, It was a three day weekend, I had to FIND a ride to work because I was promise the NEXT day to get my car, and they did not even OFFER ME the option of a car to use because FIRST it was Kia's faulty ignition system (I understand about flaws) and it was like I do not care attitude from the workers (NOT the Head of Service department) ONE worker asked why did I not have a COUPON. FIRST it was KIA's First should have provided me a car, SECOND, they did not offer me an option to rent one (WHICH was late in the DAY) and offer to reimburse the rental fee. IF it was something like schedule maintenance that would take a while, I would have done that, BUT it was manufacture on the ignition/Fuel system. I do not understand while ALL the Kia Dealers so NOT have a car rental option on the site. They do in Greer SC, IF I would have called and explained what was going on with the issues of my car not running well, I would have been TOLD (from customer service) You did not schedule an appointment, so it may not have been seen for few days. I work for type of customer service and they would have tried, not to just blow me off. They Head of the Service Department was nice and understanding and did not know they was doing this.

Recall vehicle!! With Extended Warranty, was not sent notice or given phone call. Car sitting at dealership for over 2 months due to Engine faulty, I have 7 days for approval from consumer or I'm out of a car. I'm a single mom and the position they put me in without a vehicle for 2 months has been depressing and disappointing.

The dealership has had my car for two weeks and I can’t get a single person to call me. I’ve left message after message for the service manager and the service advisor.

2016 Optima FE burning oil at the rate of a quart every 1000 miles. The car had about 32,000 miles when it started. The oil light flickered a couple of times on acceleration. It was still almost 1000 miles to go before the next oil change was due. It was 3 QUARTS LOW. It does NOT LEAK. It is burning the oil.
They want me to bring it in for an oil change. Hahahahaha hahahahaha. And, they’re SERIOUS. My mechanic is capable of changing oil. AND measuring the correct amount.
KIA BLOWS. Especially Premier KIA in Kenner, Louisiana. One of the key fobs wasn’t working so I brought it by the dealership. I was told it was NOT Kia’s problem. The car was only 8 months old.
I can’t continue, because I’m going to become beyond vulgar. ALSO, paint is already showing RUST. Just BEWARE!!!! KIA BLOWS.

I am from Tinsukia Assam ..I was booking Kia Sonnet on 22-12-2020 .. First we were told that the car will be available in the February last.. Uske baad bola gaya ki march first week me milega .... or ab bol raha hai ki April 22 ko milega ... jabki mene un ko 50000 / - advance booking diya hai ... KIA SONET co. Was kidding for me .... Please solve the problem

Worst experience with the dealer n executive delaing here in indore..very unprofessional

Very rude wouldn’t even run my credit told me i couldn’t afford payments like he knew what I had in my bank account I very very well could I am a black man the only customer in the building I see why very very very positive this was discrimination I’m very upset.

I went to the Kia service department on July 17, 2019 at 10:15am to get a new tire. I had speaking to Debbie on the phone and she said she had the tire I needed in stock, I knew it would be no problem. I got there and not even a 1/2hour in Debbie came in and got me and brought me back to look at my car. She showed me the treads on my tires and showed me the wear on them and informed me I would need 4 new tires now instead of 1. Now I pay extra for the oil changes for life, and part of their oil change inspection is to check my tires tread and inform me that my tread is wearing low. If they had done that, I could have planned and prepared to get my tires done. Not get ambushed. Also part of their inspection is to periodically rotate and balance my tires also looking at them to check for wear and tear. None of this is ever done. Why have a inspection checkpoint system if you are not going to do it?? Every time I get my oil changed they say my car looks great, and I am on my way. Then they want to quote me almost 500.00 for 4 tires. That is ridiculous!!!
I had to turn into someone I hate to get them down on the tires. I shouldn’t have to get mean in order for them to do their jobs. That is not my personality. Now i worry they will do something wrong to make me have an accident. I hope not. It is now 12:10 pm, and I know they have other customers but I have waited long enough. I have a very bored daughter with me. They have not stocked the customer service lounge, so there are no snacks, and no fresh popcorn, and there are flies buzzing around. This is disgusting. Something has to change. New management, or some people who give a damn. Thank you.

I sent you a complaint. About strut spring problem on this car . You never replied to me. . 2018734579 .

Took 2012 KiA Soul in for recall work on recall SC176. NHTSA recall # is 19V120. My daughters car, whom I am making payments on, started acting up on 7/6/19 so she took it to Autozone to get codes read from the check engine light that was lit indicating something was wrong. Her grandpa always told her to do that since it was FREE. It showed piston misfires and possible catalyic converter and oxygen sensor issues. After checking her VIN online, I found that this recall was serious and could cause the car to catch on fire or lock up and cause an accident. IT WAS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE! I purchased the extended warranty on the car and found out that it expired after 100,000 miles which was ridiculous cause the warranty on the new car was that much. SO, WHAT KIND OF EXTENDED WARRANTY WAS THIS?? NOTHING....USELESS! I took it to dealership and they have had it since 7/8/19 and have done nothing. Got KIA Corporate involved and they assigned a case number and worker to it but still nothing is getting done. After checking online, I'm finding a LOT of complaints on KIA and how they fail to honor recalls and warranty work. Always giving customers the runaround. Yes, I was denied yesterday on this recall cause the codes they want don't pop up for them and they cannot work on it until they do so they are refusing to fix it even though it has all the systems the recall talks about. Guess my daughter will have to have an accident or die in a car fire to realize this recall should have been FIXED!! I FILED A COMPLAINT ON THE BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU TOO AND WILL ANYWHERE ELSE TO WARN PEOPLE NOT TO BUY A KIA OF ANY KIND!!!!

With 65.000 miles. The front spring struts. Broke . I was lucky didn't get into an accident . I never heard in my life that such a strut spring snaps and brakes .with very low mileage . The mechanic shop told me. It was very dangerous. To drive this vehicle . It cost me lot of money . And Kia corporate don't want to deal with it . It's a big mfg defect. .

I want to be clear, I am a Kia, owner and customer that uses his vehicle for his personal business and up to this event had every intention to upgrade my Kia this year. For purpose of a new van to expand my businesses as well a nice mobile office. I had the Sedona in mind. I will never purchase anything from Kia again. I will upgrade my vehicle not with a Kia.
My two buisiness are a courier service and home inspectior. I was contracted my a local courier service, one of my stops was Bloomington Kia, I had a delivery of a bumber. The parts guy that meet me in the delivery area was Tim, I told him I have a delivery for him and need a singnature. I asked me where did it come from. I mentioned the name, but could not remember the exact name. I had 3 other deliverys in my Kia, and could not remember the exact name that it came from I was close, but told him IM looking it up right now. He started shouting at me, and I quoate. "Its your job to know where it comes from" I said IM looking it up right now. He continue to shout at me, belittle me. Lecture me how my job is to be done. I said "You dont need to lecture me, I know what my jobs is." He then shouted at me to get out! Get! Get! and the same time using his hands in a shoeing away motion. I left, as he was shouting at me.

I then really want to order a luggage rack for my Kia Sportage, I was happy to see I had a delivery in Bloomington Kia, so I could order a part for my car. How every, this simple request was obstructed by Tim, when I when to the parts counter there was a young lady at the computer. I asked If I could get something ordered, she said I don't work up front here I will get you someone. Well, she grabs Tim to help me. He immediately tells me to "GET!" Get Out! I turned and walked out, and told him I wouldn't order any thing from him anyway.

I then, call my contractor and immediately told him what happened. With out me telling him the guys name, mainly because I didn't know, he says it sounds like Tim. He said he could keep me away from there. I thank him and said yes please.

Fast forward to Friday night 6/28/19 Kia needs a delivery to a auto shop. I get the call, so I go pick up the part. Hoping I would not have to run into the same guy Tim, there have been a couple young ladys there they are friendly and kind. No problems with them, I was hoping one of them would be there. But, no such luck. It was Tim, what happened next was some of the most egregious behaviour, stunning adhorrent. He opens the back door and starts laughing at my face. Walks right up to me and loudly starts laughing in my face. Then he starts shouting for Chan, his manager. Not much of a manager, but he Tim is continuing to shout "Chad come quick, its the guy I told you about"" He continues to shout this to Chad. I tried to defuse the situation, I said, IM not here for troublle, I just want to pick up the part and get going. I dont want any trouble. But he did not hear me over his own shouting for Chad to come quick to see the guy he was talking about. He walks back in to back door to meet Chad and he immedialtely starts to make wrong statements and comments about me. I said that wasnt true. I did told you I did not want any trouble, then I started to tell Chad what he did to me the first time I was there (Tim) . Chad jus said, its your word against his. Completely complacent and walk me out.
I left completely astonished to what just happened to me, I went to the counter where I asked for Chad again. I told him I will be making a complaint with his manager.

I turned and walked up to the front. I asked a receptionist to see a manager, I tolder her what just happened and she said I should see the sevice manage. I left to see him, but he had left for the day. I told to other service guys what just happeded, they suggested to speek with the Dave, the location manager. They graciously took my name and number.

Dave calls me the next day, and here is his apinion, and I quote. "Well, you where on my dollar" I said to him, So that gives you the right to treat me how every you want too! He immediatley back track that statement. But lets be clear, that is his sentatment. Im on his dollar he treat me or anyone else however he wants. if they are "on his dollar"

I will never purchase another item from Kia, I will not build my businesses using Kia products. I am so dicussed with this complany attitude towards a workiing class person, how they can treat you how they please. If your on there dollar.
Kia lost a customer and gained an enemy!

Air Bag light is on, brought it into shop & was told $2,000 to fix the air bags. I was told that they will not work until fixed, just went out.

I have been a customer with Kia for over 12 years. This will be my 4th Kia I have purchased and do not get me wrong I love all my Kias,
Recently I went in to have my Sorento's sunroof looked at we were there for 2 1/2 hours and told they would have to order parts. They did called an let me know my parts were in I dropped off the car the night before by 4:30 p.m. someone from Kia in Florence made sure that my car was delivered to my work upon completion, great well that's what I thought. Two days later when I finally had a chance to look over my car (fyi I work two jobs back to back and the second job I do not get home til after dark) I noticed grease stains on my liner where they worked on my sunroof and grease all on the door jam (unsure if this is what you call it) immediately I took pictures and sent to Angela Feldkamp at Kia via email. No phone call was received from her she only responded via email. However she did apologized and said she would make it right in the email, she also stated that she would forward the email over to Tony Darpel their service manager. Well, it took til Wednesday when my husband took my son's car over to Kia for an appointment he had to find out that Angela said someone will pick the car up to have it detailed. The following week she had someone from Kia Florence come to my work to pick it up to have it Detailed and returned to me the same day by the time I got off work at 1 p.m. Well this did happen but the Detailed vehicle not so much. Upon them returning my car I looked it over with them. I pointed out the grease stains still on the interior roof of my car and on the door jams of the the doors. I was told that Angela was at lunch, I informed the gentleman that dropped it off to have her call me. My car was picked up at 8:00 a.m. and dropped back off by 11:39 a.m., when I got off work at 1 p.m. no phone call from Angela. I drove to Burlington to Jake Sweeney Kia and spoke to Angela. I asked her to look at my vehicle she saw that they did not clean up their grease that was in my car and for that matter if they had someone detail it they got robbed. The car was not even vacuumed, nor were the grease stains removed. Angela did tell me she would get me a loaner and have my car detailed again. Hmm twice in one day now why would that need to happen if it was completed the first time the right way. I seems to me that Angela may have good intentions but she obviously is not following thru. I am unsure as to why they would of let that vehicle leave their lot without inspecting it. I am extremely unsatisfied and tired of being inconvenienced for something they have had two chances to get right and can't.
I have not heard from the service manager at all. This car was not a cheap car, and the disrespect that their technicians showed to my vehicle is uncalled for. How would they like it if I got into their vehicle that they paid 40K for and put grease all over the roof and the door jams.
Pretty sure someone that works hard like i do would not appreciate it.
I have phots but i cannot seem to upload them as to I only have them as a pdf.

After keeping the care for three month kia service center return my care with scotch take all over the front bumper and the engine cover fall out in 30 minutes

The whale tail cover which protects the radio components on the roof fell off. I purchased a replacement whale tail online for $10.00 and went to the Kia dealership where I purchased the car to attach the purchased item. I was told that it is not a warranty item and the cost would be $450 to repair. I can't believe that any component which should have been permanently attached falls off and I as the consumer is forced to pay to replace it. I went to a local body shop and he replaced the one I had bought for free so the bottom line is how dare Kia charge $450 for an item that cost $10 to replace. I am a senior citizen on a fixed income with a husband who is wheelchair bound. That withstanding my next purchase of a car will certainly not be a Kia.

I wouldn't even give this company one star. I bought a car from kia on the blvd with in a year my engine went and I need a replacement. I took over 3 weeks for them to tell me what was wrong and its now been three months and I still have not received my car back. EVery time I call they tell me they need to do something else and it will be another couple days. Mean time I have been paying for a rental car and car payments out of pocket they said they would reimbursed the rental car for the first 6 weeks and then when done reimbursed for the rest well I have been waiting a month for a check and when I email the head of Kia i get no responses. Mind oyu I have a full time job and kids who do after school sports and I am the one doing the pick p drop off and there answer when I told them I ant keep affording a rental car was take it back and find another way to do what i need to. I have never been so jerked around by a company. I would never recommend KIA EVER ! I REGRET CONTINUING BUSINESS. WITH THEM!!

How do I go about making a complaint about All-Star Kia in San Bernardino California. As of right now I’ve just written a poor service review on YELP.

I can be reached at 951-212-1132

they took $1040.58 for bank 2 catilac convert after diagnosis said it was driverab ne no good or better some one tuned down the ildel screw

Bout a 2015 Escalade, was told the gps would be calibrated, Several Lies later I had to go pick it up 6 days later from a Cadillac dealer and it wasn’t touched. We to talk to GM and was told “We can go get it for you” Was very unhelpful and the absolute worst car buying experience you could ever imagine. And the very clean vehicle came back with grease all over the carpet...PATHETIC excuse for Service and help.

I purchased a 2014 Kia Sorento in 2013, brand new from Outten Kia in Hamburg, PA. I only have this car for 6 years and the paint I coming off in multiple areas of the car especially around the window, hood and roof area. in NO way should this be happening on a car that is only 6 years old. I also had to have the radiator replaced because the seam was coming apart and leaking. I loved this car when I purchased it, but I will not be buying another Kia unless this paint issues is taken care of at NO cost to me. if this is how you sell your product to the consumer then you need to change your practice. this is a terrible paint job by all means. I am expecting to hear from you with a reply.

Thank you

My wife's Optima was towed to the dealership Feb 8th 2019 in Anchorage AK shortly after a recall check, apparently the engine failed (still under warranty). My recent research show's that you are having a problem with some of your engines. Here is my problem with KIA and your Anchorage dealer: Car towed to dealership 02/08/19h, we received a call from dealer, Cody, 02/13/19 stating the engine failed and would need to be replaced, this would about a month and my wife is given a loaner vehicle. (Ok not to bad so far) A month goes by with no contact, wife calls dealership on 03/11/19 to find out about car, was told by a Jake that Cody no loger works here he is trying to figure it out? (don't know or care about your internal strife). Jake now tells my wife that the new engine for her car will not be in until 03/25/19. No contact again from dealer, we call to inquire about the car on 04/15/19 only to hear that KIA is having a problem praducing engines and that it will be another month. OK this is unacceptable, I called the dealer ship and asked to speak to the service department manager, Moises Gonzalas, told him I am not happy and I will be in to speak with him in person. (We live an hours drive from the KIA dealership) I told Mr. Gonzalas that I am not a happy customer for several reasons, mainly that my wife was given a base model car to drive, ok for a couple of weeks not months and now your telling us will be more months. My wife is driving your top of the line Turbo Optima and you should have made sure she has nicer car to drive. We were told that KIA does not allow for or have nicer loaner vehicles and there is nothing he could do. I told MR Gonzalas that this was unacceptable and that I would be filling a complaint. I than questioned him as to why no one has offered to make us a deal on a new car?, he shrugged and asked if that was option for us, told him after or better yet before 4 months goes by of course its an option, something KIA should have as a standard policy in place for warranty work taking longer than 4 weeks. It should also be standard policy to place a customer in a equivalent trim packaged vehicle for warranty work taking longer than 4 weeks. I mean good grief how do you stay in business when these simple and real expectations of a customer are not being met and the information from your dealer is unreliable, and no updates coming from the dealership period, even after requesting those updates! I will also be contacting Litha with the same complaint. Further more they did not even have an optioned out KIA on their lot for consideration.

before my mom passed away she took the car in and told them that her alarm has stopped working they told her she would have to get a new system she gave the car to me because she couldn't drive it anymore cuz they took her license and after she passed it would no longer starts I thought that it was just the key alarm system problems that's what the original request was when they came and pick the car up stay 3 months later and $3,000 later I was told that the rats had eaten up all the wires and it would be $3,000 and I was assured that there was no other problems and he had fix everything when I got the car it was filthy dirty they didn't even wash it and had a half a tank of gas I catch the bus to work so I don't drive much and I stay about seven blocks from the Kia dealer diamond core drill bits home and the next day when I went to Walmart which is right next to the Kia dealer the car was under a quarter of a tank this I couldn't understand because the car gets 22 miles a gallon to make a long story short I only drove the car a few short miles about four times I have filled the car up three times and could not understand what was happening to the gas until it started smelling have gas also I was not able to drive it because of the fact that the heater or the fans no longer works and it rains a lot in Seattle the hours that I work I can never make it in before thestop Moses but I did go back in there and try to get another key made and I talked to another gentleman and I asked him why would they give me such a dirty car he has the technician wash it but my mom has bought two cars from that same dealer and never once have they given her the car back with just a oil change without washing it andthere are also several scrapes one long scrape actually on the right side of the vehicle that was not there before but I was willing to overlook that until I left messages do not get a response but like I said the hours that I work I have not been able to get it in and I've been very sick so I filled the car up a second time with gas next thing I know maybe 5 or 10 miles later car is on e smelling like gas extremely so I decided someone was siphoning my gas I didn't drive it all week until I went back to Walmart the car which what I thought was the parking lot of Walmart smells extremely strong of gas and as I got out I asked the security guards do you smell that is my car leaking he said it's probably send on the ground I was on my way to my sister's house was about 20 miles away but fortunately for my safety of my life I lost my keys in my car that night and sat there for three days and I came back got in the car the locksmith I drove home turn the car on and it was on TV again so I went to the gas station send it up again and as I was driving home it became apparent that this was my car and then it was gas gauge was going down before my eyes when I got back to my house II ask my neighbor to look and he said there was fuel all under the inside I thought somebody had cut my gas line he said good thing that I didn't go very far because the car could have caught on fire I was extremely upset I went to sleep and woke up the next day to go to the corner store the car was on e again I I didn't want to pay for more gas and I certainly didn't want to pay for another tow because that is a lot of money and I just gave you guys close to $3,000 to fix my car so I called a local guy that I know and asking to look at it he said that the wire harnesses when they were doing them they carelessly forgot to fasten the fuel lines together two of them we're not fastened only one I paid him and he left I called the Kia dealer and tried to explain the situation one lady transfer me to another lady after I told her the whole story and then while I was trying to tell her she hung up in my face I have a 2007 Kia Spectra that my mom bought and she turned around and bought a brand new Kia and gave me this one she had to return because there was something wrong with the engine and then they brought her another one but she was in a car accident totaled the car and your Kia dealer was paid fully for your car that she was leasing 27 something thousand dollars all I'm saying is that when I talked to the gentleman there he said that the key fobs well over time have to be reprogrammed when I pick the car up the man said I don't know how to program that because I had to buy another one but what he should have told me is that the old ones could have been reprogrammed so I wasted money on the other and I still don't have a way to turn on my alarm and lock my vehicle why I wasn't told that they may have to be reprogrammed overtime I don't understand I wasted $80 on the other one and nobody offered me a solution and that's the original problem I took the car in for not to mention when I got it out the fan or the air conditioning doesn't blow it they made a mistake that could have very easily caught the car on fire and took my life I don't know what you're going to do about this but I'm going to let you handle it because if I go there I'm liable to go to jail because this is not a mistake that a good mechanic makes mechanic makesand one more thing seeing as though they know that the original reason if that was even true that the all the wires were eating up why would they not offer me another cover to the fuse box if that's how the rats got in and ate them up are they hoping that it might happen again and they get another $3,000 for me sounds like it to me I don't know what kind of customer service care has become or what kind of phone is you are at this Renton Kia car pros but it's certainly not like the ones that on the Kia dealer when my mom bought her first car and I called there and ask him questions about 5 months ago and told them that we bought the car there they told them that that they had nothing to do with that and they don't honor anything because they're not liable for that because their new owners but my mom like I said I just bought another car from that but a warranty is a warranty a Kia dealer as a Kia dealer free and actually I found something in her paperwork saying that there's something that goes wrong with stuff underneath the hood that's supposed to be a recall and was supposed to be fixed for free I'm starting to believe that that's what was wrong and they charged me for something else was he supposed to have been free I'm not anywhere near dumb and we keep all papers I also have a coupon for upgraded alarm system after 3 years which they didn't ask me about or honor either my name is Leah and my telephone number is 206 795 843 4 and I want compensation for my three types of gas an explanation of why you guys are the only car dealer that services the car and doesn't wash it and why did you're not have the best interest every customer in mine and basically had me almost ruin my engine and it may have or my whole energy catch on fire somebody needs to contact me or you'll be on the news

I had many cars before & NEVER had this problem...my Kia Sorento 2015 with only @ 40,000 miles has a broken handle, ..the whole handle just came off from the door when I opened it...I brought it to my Kia place & they told me to file a complain to find out if the company will cover it..but I had to pay over $100 just to file a claim , if they cover it, I still pay, if they don't fix it , I pay. He said they had to take the whole door down...how is it that a relatively new vehicle looses parts after 4 years & is not cover by the manufacturer? I want my door fix. I like my kia, If I don't get it fix I will trade it for a Chevy. Can you help.?

I purchased a 2014 Kia Soul in August of 2015. I have had it less than four years. It has 104,000 miles on it with REGULAR DOCUMENTED OIL CHANGES. The engine has to be replaced. I have owned several different cars and have kept them up to ten years. My 1994 Mazda 626 had 325,000 miles on it with the ORIGINAL engine. My Toyota Celica had 230,000 miles on it with the ORIGINAL engine. And my Nissan Murano had 198,000 miles with the ORIGINAL engine. I have looked on the web to see numerous complaints with engine failure of a 2014 and 2015 Kia Soul. i have called customer service and have a case number 13127877 I will take this complaint as far as I can including the States Attorney's Office as this is a defect in your design

Below is a short summary of a problem that I am having with my 2017 KIA Sportage and it seems as if KIA does not know what the
problem with my car is. At first they said I needed a new motor and after keeping my car for OVER A MONTH I was told I needed an
extension harness. I picked up my car yesterday and AGAIN my check engine light came on and the car went into limp mode again.
I would really like to have my car fixed or replaced because I am not comfortable driving it. This is the 2nd time it has it has gone into limp mode
on the highway.

8/18/2018 – Creaking noise – opening/closing rear door. Had to order parts. Installed parts
9/1/2018.

1/5/19 – Took car in for Software Recall update. (all 2016 – 2018 Sportage vehicles).
Update completed 1/5/2019.

2/22/2019 – Check light engine on and vehicle in Limp Mode on way to work. Had to call roadside assistance. KIA told me the motor needed to be replaced. Motor had to be ordered. Had my car from 2/22 – 4/10/2019. KIA never called to give me an update I always had to call and ask for an update. Each time I was told the motor was on backorder.

4/10/2019 – Kia called – told me it wasn’t the motor that my motor was good. Told me my car was ready. KIA installed an Extension Harness. I picked up my car and as I was driving home the check engine light came on and my car was in limp mode. Had to call roadside assistance.

4/11/2019 – Waiting to hear from KIA about my car.

Yesterday, April 8, 2019, I took my Kia Sportage to Witham Auto Center, 2033 LaPorte Road, Waterloo, Iowa, and I was extremely disappointed with the service I was given. I bought my Kia in May of last year at that dealership, and when I bought it, there was a small chip on the driver's door. I told the salesman at the time, that I should probably get some paint to fix the chip, which I never got. Now, about ten months later, there are seven chips on the door ranging from the top to the bottom. The body parts woman that helped me immediately blamed the door chips on my seatbelt. There is NO WAY possible that the seatbelt could make those chips. I, as most people, release my seatbelt before I even open the door. Then she said the chips were caused by my hitting other cars with my door. Again, I take good care of my car, and I do not slam open my door if cars are near. I felt that she was blaming me for the chips. She seemed very defensive, so I got defensive. At one point, she asked me to stop talking and let her finish what she had to say. I call that very disrespectful. She started out disrespectful by not greeting me, nor asking my name, nor telling me her name. I felt as if I was putting her out when she had to go out into the garage area and check out my car. Needless to say, I left that dealership very angry. Back in 2014, I took my previous Sportage in for a tire rotation. I got about one half mile from the dealership and my tire fell completely off my car. The service man forgot to tighten the lug nuts. Did I get defensive or mad? NO. I probably should have. If I had gone another quarter of a mile, I would have been driving on the interstate going 65 miles an hour. Either I would have been killed or injured or I could have killed someone else when the tire flew off. Again, I was very nice about the entire incident. I have owned three KIA's and I really like this car. However, I will NEVER buy a KIA from this dealership again. I will not recommend this dealership. The closest KIA dealership is an hour and a half away from where I live, so this will be the last KIA for me. I will be trading my KIA because I will NOT give any more money to this dealership for oil changes, new tires, etc. The sales man who sold me the car was extremely helpful and nice. The KIA manager was only nice when trying to make the deal. The woman who answers the phone for the dealership should take a class on how to be friendly and helpful to customers. Key word.... friendly. I am extremely upset and disgusted with this KIA dealership!

In 2013 I purchased a 2014 Kia Cadenza from your dealership in Cerritos California. While I was employed for the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, I purchased a total of three Kia vehicles. I obviously enjoyed the service received and my family and I enjoyed the performance and reliability of your products. Upon completion of the leasing period, on what was to be my retirement vehicle, I contacted the Kia dealership in Henderson Nevada and explained to them that I really wanted to keep the vehicle and not turn it in. I was eventually told that there was no finance company that would finance me for the vehicle due to high mileage. After a few of hours going back and forth, the Sales Supervisor talked me into purchasing a new vehicle. I was unfamiliar with the leasing process and never told to contact the finance company and make arraignments with them to continue payments. Now I am getting noticed for payment of a vehicle that I know was sold within a week of being turned into the Henderson Kia Dealership. As a result of the tactics employed by the Kia salesperson, I have a vehicle that I am not happy with, costs the same amount as the vehicle that was turned in and I am still being held liable for the prior vehicle. I would like to know if there is any way that your company could assist me in resolving this as I am now on a fixed income and am desperately considering filing bankruptcy. I would prefer to have this situation and my credit restored without filing. Even though I believe that a dealer took advantage of my lack of knowledge and did not explain in detail my options, I still believe in the Kia vehicles. I look forward to your assistance in resolving his issue.

They sold a Kia with no spare tire to a 94 yr old man and wife in wheel chair. When dealership was confronted about it. they said He should of asked about spare tire. If he wants one it will be $260.00. Customer service said that's how Kia's come now, with no spare tire. No consideration about anyone or anything. They couldn't do anything to help.

I purchased a lease Kia Soul yesterday, 2/16/2019. I was a little early on the first lease and told the salesman that I was concerned that POTUS was looking at instituting a 20-25% tariff on this car. I wanted to run numbers and try to figure out what to do. They worked with me really well. I turned in my first one and got my new Kia Soul Lease in a matter of hours-- Vin#KNDJN2A21K7000228. I really enjoyed my experience at the time. My daughter, who drives me around a lot, was cleaning everything out of the first Kia and placing it in the new one and waited for us outside. My wife and I came out, daughter drove us 1.1 miles to our home-where we all spent the evening destressing. We got up to go 6 blocks down the street where my wife works and my daughter ask me if I wiped the water drops off the windshield. I had not seen them. My vision is very poor right now due to cataracts, hoping to get that fixed toward the end of the year. So she and I got out of the car and she showed me 2 significant chips about 1" apart on the lower passenger side slightly above the wiper. To me it looks like a 'tool strike'.
I still had the salesman's number on my phone, so I called him mid-morning. He said the car was in pristine condition when he turned it over to us.
When I mentioned the salesman's response to my daughter, she told me that she was not quite sure what the salesman looked like, but the man who came out and put the tags on the car walked over to the windshield and rubbed that area, shrugged and finished putting the paper tags on the car and left.
I am going to dealership in the morning, salesman wants the service department to 'look' at it. It is a NEW car with 171 miles on it, so who knows the history of that. But, to me, a NEW windshield is definitely in order or let's scream 'do-over' as another exact same car is sitting in the exact same spot where mine was yesterday. I want to be friendly, but I hate being tricked or lied to. I am sure you folks will feel the same way.
What can be done?
