Dealership contends that there is nothing wrong with my vehicle although it over heated with only 34,000 miles on it. I spoke to two independent mechanics, including another dealership mechanic and was told that vehicles do not overheat with just a "little" coolant loss. Kia claims I was a "little" low, filled it up & sent me on my way.
