Wiring to the heat and air conditioning is melted together and ge fan doesn't work all the time. Dont have air conditioning. And the adapters dont work cant charge phone . Also there is a ticking noise come from the front of car u can hear it when idling but gets worse when u step on the gas going down the road. Oil has been charged and is checked frequently. The noise started right after had oil change and tires rotated.
The cover of the antenna ("shark fin") has fell off possibly due to a carwash. The cover protects the antenna and potentially some other wiring in the car and its radio. The manufacturer (kia) does not replace the (plastic) cover, but rather changes the whole antenna wiring to the radio. This costs (in the DC area) about $650. I do not see the reason why the manufacturer does not have a more inexpensive solution for this rather potentially frequent problem. Is it reasonable to ask for that much money in order to solve an easy to fix problem that if not fixed might mess with the electronics of your car? I think not.
