Dean May of US Sep 15, 2026 4:45 pm UTC Verified customer 2026 KIA Sportage EX While I was washing my KIA Sportage I noticed that paint was peeling from the front bumper, I took the KIA Sportage to University KIA in Huntsville, AL to show them the peeling paint and create a warranty claim. The warranty department person had taken photos of the peeling paint and told me that they would get back with me in a few days. I had waited one week and didn't hear back from anyone, I tried calling the service department several times and couldn't get through. So over two weeks go by, and I finally got through to the service department, and I was told that my claim was denied with them saying that it looked like the peeling paint was from external causes. I have owned several KIA's the past and have noticed the quality going downhill. Never Again KIA. 👇 The information below is not visible to anyone but you and the company representatives.

Do not go to University Kia!! Unless you want to have the typical sleazy car salesman expense. I bought a used car from them and before I bought it they told me they would take care of a paint chip in the front of the car and a missing rain guard. This was part of their negotiating on the price of the car we have to take care of all this thats why they would go down on the Price any more. Now after the sale they are telling me they will not be paying for their fixes and have gone silent on me. Also, when I went into the financing office they had me sign the usual paper work and then said it will be ready for you on Wednesday and I can get my copy of the paper work then When I come to pick the car up. Needless to say my car wasn't ready on Wednesday so I had them deliver it to me on Friday as i work and couldn't get their and only for my car to not show up with a temporary tag nor my documents. It then took me 2 weeks to receive My documents via email and I had to go to my county court house and get a temporary tag myself and pay for it!! These people will lie to your face!! Do not do business with them!!

Kias warranty is a joke. The dealership knew there was a problem 2 weeks after purchase. Said they fixed it and now we have a 21 telluride with 60000 miles with a broke sunroof. Kia was gonna do a recall on years 2020 and 2021 tellurides sunroofs but changed mind and put it on the customer. TSB-BOD319. If it wasnt an issue that look up issues with kias sunroofs. Kia lost another customer because they suck!!

Drove from Atlanta area, and my salesman was prepared! Car was prepped and ready for the test drive. Reshard was professional and very courteous! We did the trade and the car was ready to go very expeditiously! In by 0900 out on my way back to Atlanta by 1:15. Very pain free process! Thank you Reshard! I would DEFINITELY purchase from him again!

I wouldn't buy a car from them again if someone was paying. Every car in here has 2.9% or 3.9% APR. What they tell you is all the material you need so you spend alot of time running back and forth (20 miles each way). Then when you finally get to the financing the next day. They dropped the price down to 20,000. To find out you need yet another piece of paper. To have to come back the next day for the price to go back up. Then they charge you 20% interest with a 720 credit score. No money down my tail. This pla e should be sued.... Let me state that Salesman was not the issue. He never offered anything that was not approved first. He done his job. It took a matter of 3 days and 5 trips to Athens before this was completed.

Was very disappointed in service. Gross incompetence and in experience. Had a window not closing completely on a six month old Telluride and they called it a diagnostic issue requiring five days. Engine was idling roughly and again wanted it five days to diagnose. No valet service no loaner. No management in service at check in. I like the car but would not buy another Kia in Huntsville to avoid the dealership

At the time I bought my first Kia I was very satisfied, then I traded and now have my second forte that has only 65,000 miles and 1 more year to be paid off. My issue is that when I purchased it brand new in 2019 I was sold an insurance policy on electronics in which is added to my payment. I wasn't told there were different kinds of electronic policies just that my electronics were covered to 100,000 miles. My backup camera is going out and I believe it is a default on Kias part because it has some sort of glue or something around the edges that can be seen when looking at it and one service tech said it was some sort of retention. Insurance says I don't have the correct policy to cover this and Kia takes No responsibility! A 1200.00 dollar part on a fairly new car and no one is responsible! While Kia may sale the heck out of cars they suck when it comes to Responsibility after the sale. I believe Kia should be responsible considering it is Absolutely a defect!
