| Equipment problems |
I went to the kia dealership in laredo texas and was told that they cannot fix the fault, that my vehicle has had an aftermarket parts, that they are not going to fix the hecu. That they don't fix vehicle with aftermarket parts.
I have a 2012 kia Rio and over the last 2 months the oil light spontaneously comes on and turns off while driving. I took it into a kia dealership and they did a consumption test which indicated the engine is consuming a lot of oil. I was told I need a brand new engine. This car was purchased new, currently has 112k miles (mostly highway) on it. The dealership offered me nothing. They want to charge me for a brand new engine with a 6m /12m warranty costing me $3900 / $4400 for repair or an engine w 95k miles for $3600 / $3900 for repair. I can't afford that and the dealership told me to just keep checking the oil and refill as needed. What kind of service is that?!?!?! city kia orlando - this is ludicris!!!!! what can I do to get some assistance in getting another car. This car is less than 10yrs old and is in good condition with normal wear and tear. I have smelled smoke a couple of times but attributed it to the outdoors. I used my car daily and although I do not usually travel far from home I have my kids with me 99% of the time. Can you help me? I saw on the news 6 just this morning about kia car engine fires. I am a single mom with 3 kids at home 5-17yrs old. I work 10hr days and making just enough to make ends meet. Your advice is greatly appreciated.
Driving car at about 60 mph and car began to smoke. Got out on side of highway lifted hood and everything was on fire. People assing by along with hero and fire dept made sure flames were put out . I never made any modification to vehicle and we keep it serviced. Feel like problems are with manufacture wiring. I have done insurance claim and contacted manufacture. The miles are aprox 102k.
Got up early one morning to go to work, started my car, let it run for 2 minutes and put it in reverse and it moved without me pressing on the gas petal and I was parked down hill. Now my car starts sometimes and sometimes it won't. It doesn't do it all the time, but it still needs to be repaired. I wanted to know were there a recall on my car for these problems. I haven't took it to a shop to be checked yet, spend enough money on car payments to have to fix my own car and it's under warranty.
My 2012 kia Rio caught fire the other day. I pulled into the driveway, went into the house to put my laptop down. I had shut the car off. Came back out to grab some stuff from the trunk and the car was smoking from the hood. Thought it had overheated. Pulled hood release and went to open the hood when I realized flames were coming from the right side of the engine area. Tried putting the fire out with a garden hose & was instructed by 911 to get away from the vehicle. Car ended up bursting into flames. Fire department had to come and extinguish. Called kia and they are taking their time at responding. I am concerned that this may be a bigger problem and effect more people. Putting lives at risk for injury and possible death.
