Failure to provide title and registration
They failed to provide title and registration information in a timely manner so that I have not yet been able to obtain a tag for my new vehicle. According to Alabama state law, I have 20 days from purchase date to get a tag, and I still do not have the appropriate paperwork although I purchased the car 18 days ago! In addition, they overcharged the taxes and have not reimbursed me the correct difference. They failed to provide me with a copy of the required "lemon law" information.

Awful quality cars
KIA was under warranty and had been brought in for repair NUMEROUS times. Dealer then presented owner with a bill. When objections were made the dealership would not release the automobile. Bill was paid under duress. Automobile made it home and ran for a few days before it broke down again. When car was brought back to dealership the dealer was gone and the business defunct. KIA headquarters in CA says it is not their problem--go to the dealership (in other words talk to a ghost.) This is a horrendous company.

my car sorento
Dear Sir,
My name is Osama Alheeh, I live in KSA, before 3 months I decided to buy a new car, when I make my study to choose the car that I may buy I choose a car from your company KIA SORENTO, because I heard that it very good car, but your agent in KSA doesn’t have a comparative specifications of SORENTO models, then I buy the car and I surprised that some facility in my car model not exists like the car in USA, they said to me that every country has its own specification but I told them it the same price as USA market, really I don’t know why is that, anyway I get my car, the first problem was there is a lot of shaking (vibration) in the steering when the speed reach 100- 120, I review the KSA agency they said that is because you buy an 2008 model and its remain without moving for a long time, so that they give me a document to go to the KUMHO tire agency in KSA, I spend 2 week to get new tire from him he waste a lot of my time and money.
By drive 8000 km the car make noise when it on the first gear. I take it to the agency for 5 times without any fixing the problems that I have in my car, every time I take it from them when I go out I discover that nothing fixed there I don’t know why, really its disaster for me because I waste a lot of time and money really its awful things happened to me from this car. I will short list my problems below:
1- The noise when you put the Gear on the D then press the paddle immediately, they try to fix it for 5 times and they didn’t, they call me your car is ready but when i go there is nothing change
2- The noise from the rear tires when you drive like tick tick tick tick...
3- There is a problem in the braking system I told them about this for 5 times
4- There is a led lamp on the screen of the sound system doesn’t work.
5- There are big scratches on the driver door hook; it’s damaged by the maintenance centre that was happen when they try to balance the door, also they cause a minor scratches on the external body but i don’t mention that but when the damage internally it’s a big problem and indicates non professional work they have.
6- Under the front pumper there is damaged clips with plastic screw
7- There is a problem in the acoustic insulation, our area has a lot of dust this annoy me because I can smell the dust in my closed car.
8- There is a skew in the right hand side when driving and not been solved yet, really I don’t know why is that.

There are at least two manufacturer defects in my car. And I am now without any car it’s in the KIA agency at Riyadh- KSA and every day I spend 50$ to go to my work and return back, I think that you must solve my problem immediately because it’s about your reputation, there are 40 relatives of me know my problem and five of them they were want to buy from KIA but when these things happened to me they change their mind and choose another car. The maintenance manager told me he send my problem to you in Korea but until this moment there is no response from you, I think the right solution is to return my money or replace my car with new one that is free defects. Please help me, this car make my life as a disaster.

Bad Car
I bought my car on 6/10/08. I drove it home and later that night I went to leave and the car wouldn't start, it sounded like it was trying to turn over and wouldn't. Before I left the dealership they said the car went through a carfax and a 181pt inspection and everything was checked out on the car. I went to pick up my parents the next day to take the car back and it died on me twice on the interstate. We noticed that it was leaking oil and it had an oil trail all the way up the driveway. The service guy confirmed that it was oil and they wanted to keep the car to figure out what was wrong. They said that there was something wrong with the thermistat and they replaced a $25 part on it. They called me to come pick it up and when we got there it was sill leaking, but this time it looked like anti-freeze. They came out and looked at it and one of the guys said that he hoped it wasn't the head gasket. I went back on 6/13/08 to ask for my money back on the car and they refused to give it to me. They said nothing was wrong with the car. I believe that they're trying to screw me over because I'm a woman. The car hasn't held up to the 181pt inspection that they said it passed. I'm really concerned that there is something seriously wrong with the engine and I think the car is going to die. I asked them to show me all the paperwork on the car showing what they serviced before putting it on the lot and everything that they replaced. The manager couldn't show me any of the paperwork. When I went back to look at the car I noticed that the bumper was hanging down in front and there was a big scratch on the left end of the car. Both of these blemishes was not on the car when I bought it, so I want to know where they came from. I just want my money back for the car since I don't think I got what I paid for and what they said I was getting.

Inappropriate Action - Vague display
The most recent ' Flash Dance ' Kia commercial is unacceptable. Hip movement towards car and commercial is offensive

Poor quality product!
Help, Kia has had me in the shop over ten times in a year because one of their dealers did not fix my car correctly when in warranty. After many times of losing money from missing days of work and having to pay for a broke car, I find out in the end by a mechanic that I was rip off and nothing was wrong with my car in the first place. Dawn Messenger from the regional office was suppose to email me back and send me a reimbursement check and has not till this day.

Beware!
