Car stolen ($1500) to fix. Needed new transmission (70000 miles). We were stranded in Utah for 5 days on vacation when transmission failed. Kia first told us there was nothing wrong with the car and sent us on our way home. We got 20 miles out before it went bad again and we returned to the dealer. They found transmission fluid was black, not red. Yet they said the first time nothing was wrong despite numerous similar problems online with Kia transmissions. The transmission was replaced but it took 5 days. We got stuck paying over $1,700 for hotel, rental car, etc. since we were 1,200 miles from home. The Trip Interruption Plan advertised by Kia is a joke. They claim that they will help cover the costs incurred if a warranty part fails while on vacation. We submitted our expenses but were told we were "expired." Kia does not stand by the poorly made products and we will never buy another Kia. Such poor quality will catch up eventually with Kia. Never mind they went years refusing to make a fix to prevent their cars from being stolen so easily. They still have not made the fix to this car even after it was stolen and they had to fix the damage.

I’ve had my Kia now for 3yrs and only had little major thing go wrong which the dealership handled the issue as a decent time I guess. The first few months of having my Kia during the winter here the car would t push botton to start and boy was I pissed off. I kept having to jump start it then it dawned on me on me that they gave me a dead battery! Which was taking care of with warranty thank God! Other then that issue my model Kia forte got-line wasn’t equipped with a decent sound system I guess the package I thought it would’ve had But! Not! and to replace a aftermarket radio will cost a pretty penny to get done. My tires 17” OEM they feel on the wobbly side while driving 50-70mph on the Hyway! while hearing the sounds from outside in the inside of the car which sucks. But it’s power it gets up to speed especially in Sport Mode! The exterior looks good and interior is good also but I’m a pit in some work on it soon. I wish I would’ve known about the Kia Gt though (manual) speed before test driving my Kia gt line lol. My overall about this Kia it’s worth the price as well the experience to drive and to owne one!

At 30k miles the front seats on the lower bolster came apart where the fake leather and cloth connect, the thread on the stearing wheel coming apart, catalytic converter P0420 code appeared at 60k miles, Knocking since day 1. Yea, Camery will be my next car.
