Do you guys know if the other Kia's have this problem like Optima, Sportage, etc.? It doesn't really inspire a lot of confidence that so many people (so many as in all the people in this thread and not counting the ones who don't know about this forum) with this car. It is really disheartening when you brand spanking new car has this issue. May be we should have spent more money on proven German engineering lol. From my sister's nightare stories, her Jetta has seen the inside of a VW Dealer's garage than it has the roads so I'm just making light of it.
My car is still at the dealer for them trying to figure out what's wrong. Thinking of going to another dealer to see if they can figure it out; may be it's isolated to that one tech.
I also wanted to ask if you guys were given courtesy cars while your car was being worked on. Seems they're putting up a fight/fuss about giving me a rental. I don't think it's right that they're trying to intimidate me I mean I bought a brand new car so I don't have to deal with mechanic issues and you should stand behind the brand you're selling and not give me so much grief about a stupid rental that you're not even paying for (dealer's bottom line). Really frustrating to encounter such underhanded business practices. Like once you've signed on the dotted line, they no longer care to know your name or make conversation because they've got the money already,.
Le sigh..
