              Problems with Product/Service
              Status:
              Unresolved
              I brought my personal vehicle to Power Auto Group in *******, ****** for repairs on 10/30/2023. I received a call the following day from a representative in the service department who advised me on the work that needed to be done and how much it would cost. I then authorized the repairs. My vehicle then remained unmoved and unrepaired until 12/21/2023, at which time I retrieved the vehicle. None of the authorized repairs were performed despite being provided with evidence that all the necessary parts to complete the repairs had been ordered and received. Upon retrieval, I discovered that the interior of the vehicle was saturated with water and mold was growing in several places. This has caused permanent damage in the form of stains and rust.

              Power KIA service department is not honest nor capable. They have had our car for 8 months after "fixing" it and returning it to ** with the same exact issue. We brought it back to the service department 24 hours after picking it up and was told they hadn't checked to see if the repair they did would fix the problem. Excuse me, what do you mean you didn't keep the car for a day to ensure your fox solved the battery drain issue? We left it with them and here it is 8 months later. Zero to no communication, they do not return calls. A few months ago we opened a complaint with *** corporate and the letter we received said they were unable to get in touch with Power KIA of Salem. How is the acceptable? 2 weeks ago my husband got a text about a new problem they'd found and when he called to get more info they didn't answer. My husband has texted the man in the service department to get more info and no response. Outside of this being the worst customer service we've ever experienced there are so many recalls which no one was aware of at this location. We had to tell the service department that we'd recieved a recall notice to which they responded they didn't know of any recalls. So, if you'd like to pay your monthly auto payment for 8 months but not have the car *** can do that for you! If you buy a *** from Power KIA I sincerely suggest you invest in walking shoes. Don't be lured by the "affordability" because in the long run you'll pay in so many ways.
