    Complaint Type:
    Service or Repair Issues
    Status:
    Resolved
    I own a 2015 ****************** I have taken my vehicle to the dealership several times since Sept 16, 2023 about a problem with the Hybrid system. I have been told that there policy does not allow them to request a rental car for a customer until it is approved for repair work. They do not have loaners. They had my car for 21 days and then I had to return it after paying $1,280.00 for a repair that did not fix my problem. They had it for 14 more days and claimed that the problem came from a transmission that was going bad. I sought transmission replacement elsewhere to save money and received my car back Oct 26,2023. I still had the same problem but a better transmission. On Nov 3, 2023 I spoke to my service manager ***************************** and made an appointment for Nov 10, 2023. I had to return my vehicle Nov 8, 2023 because although it will turn on, the vehicle will no longer move. I have provided video evidence to ***** of the constant hybrid warning lights on the dashboard that I have had to deal with since Oct 31, 2023. The policy they have in place will still not allow them to even ask to get me a rental car despite the inconvenience of already having my vehicle under their care for 35 days . I have replaced all that can be replaced everything they told me to and now I believe the only thing left that could be at fault is the Hybrid Battery itself which is the one item that is still under warranty by CA law. I believe if the cost of the battery was coming out of my pocket then it would have been replaced by now but since it isnt they keep having their head technician come in to jiggle wires until it reads that the battery is ok. Im not blaming the service manager or the service department. Im blaming the bad policies that leave customers stranded and only offer quick service if it doesnt cost the company. They have told me they received indications that the hybrid battery was bad. They kept my car until it read the battery is good. My car is not good.

    The Riverside Kia service department is the worst. It takes almost a month to schedule an appointment for an oil change. I had a recall on my 18' Kia Optima and ever since I took it in to have the recall taken care of I've had nothing but problems. Battery was bad, replaced because it was under warranty, spent the whole day at the dealership. Purchased new tires from Kia, had them installed their and within a couple of months one of the tires was leaking out the air. When I called to ask if I could take it in the service advisor discriminated me for being a woman and stated I had no warranty on the tires because I did not purchase the warranty? Knowing that those tires come with a standard warranty and I knew for a fact that warranty was not expired. The service advisor made me feel so low and did not allow me to ask anything else, he didn't even look up my vehicle. I had to go in person to speak with the manager who had to order a new tire and we had to come back the next day or whenever the tire was delivered. They put us in a dangerous situation driving with a faulty tire. My last oil change had to be done at Hyundai because Kia had no availability for over a month! Now my vehicle is running hot, ac shuts off, thermostat goes up and down. Tried to schedule an appointment, 3 weeks until they can even look at it to see what's wrong with it. It's our only vehicle and they don't even offer a loaner car? I explained it was an emergency, but they said there is nothing they can do. I purchased the vehicle their, everything has been done their. Why is my vehicle not a priority when it was purchased and serviced their? Their website states "customer satisfaction guaranteed" well since the purchase of my vehicle this customer is not satisfied. The service department made me feel so low as a woman, thinking I didnt know about my vehicle. I don't even want to go back to the service department.
