    Complaint Type:

    Status:
    Answered
    I received papers in the mail and a few calls that my 2015 *** ****** was in need of two recalls earlier this year. I then called to set up an appointment which they said I would have to wait two months to get. I got the appointment on the books for May 4th and dropped my car off on the 3rd of May. I was informed while scheduling the appointment that my car would be back to me same day given that it would only take four hours to complete both recalls. Didn't receive a call or anything for a couple days from the time the job was supposed to be done. I then reached out to the dealer and was told by the service manager ******* that the car needs a new engine for them to do the recalls. He then told me it's out of his hands and that I should call *** corporate and demand that they stand by their product. He gave me the number and I did just that. *** corporate said they just needed to get in contact with anyone at Luther *** in inver grove heights to gather information and that someone would contact me once they get things figured out. Nobody called for over a month. I went on site and was told that they thought I picked my car up with two undone recalls. I was then informed on July 3rd that the engine was going to cost my $8549.50 out of pocket for them to do the recalls which is insane. They are still holding my car ****** and keep dragging this thing out going on three months. They asked for maintenance records which I keep in excel tracking my miles and dates of oil changes. Once they received those they then asked for every oil purchase receipt which nobody keeps. They are working day and night to put a issue cased by them on to me and my family of five. I have 3 boys under the age of 8 and a wife who works as a RN. I work as a real estate agent and coach multiple high school and youth teams and we are doing all of this with one car. They never asked if we were OK or in needed of a rental car or anything. As far as I'm concerned they care nothing about us just $$$.

    I bought a certified preowned 2019 Kia Niro from this dealership believing that the clean history and well maintained Carfax I was showed was comprehensive as they claimed since this dealer had performed all the service since the car was new. After purchasing it, I came to find out from a receipt left in the glovebox that the transmission had been replaced. Dismayed, I asked why that was not revealed to me in the Carfax since they did the work at LNK of IG. Not getting a clear answer besides it wasn’t intentional, I kept the car bc it worked fine until 2.5 months and 1000 miles later when the hybrid system failed and needed the $10,000 battery replaced as well as several other parts fixed. After initially saying they didn’t know the cause and offering me to keep driving it, they learned the battery could ignite from swelling so they would keep it until they could resolve the issue. I was told by the service advisor at Luther Kia of Bloomington that the car was nothing but trouble. After 2.5 months overseeing repairs he told me he’d get rid of the car if it were his. I took it to LNK of IG and they said even though it had only 1000 miles on it since purchasing it, the best they could do for me was give me a trade in value of $19,000 when I had paid $29,000 less than 7 months earlier. Other irregularities still continue and the GM Neil who was compelled by the AG’s office to offer me an extended warranty package and tires with better traction has now discontinued communication with me prior to finalizing the deal. I can only assume he is annoyed that I want to make sure the vehicle has no issues that fall outside of warranty coverage before I sign away my rights to seek help from this dealer regarding any past present or future mechanical problems. I’ve been treated not as a valued customer but like an adversary. I don’t feel trust in this car any longer but feel much less trust that this dealer has the best interest of my vehicle or me as a customer at heart.
