Re: My Kia RIO Sucks Too!

jsedlezky: your dealer sucks. go to a different dealer if at all possible. the wiper arm is for sure covered under warranty due to the fact that it has become excessively worn and inoperative (the pivot rusted out so it won't turn anymore-right?)

did youg et any of your concerns put in writitng? if you had made a concern at the dealer they should have put it on a work order and then noted that they felt that the concern was normal. if they did this you have documented proof that th dealer is not handliung your concern appropriately. if you call the kia consumer line they may be able to have something straightened out for you.

mike1010: do you own a kia? do you repair them for a living? i don't own but my family is fed by fixing these cars and taking care of the customers the right way. the warranty does cover alot, more than you would think in most cases. i have the complete run down on what is/isn't covered, how it is prorated/if anything is prorated, and so on. i know what is actually covered by the warranty. you can't post a link to a biased article and say that is the whole truth. what do you drive, i am sure i can find a few cases that exist concerning it's fallbacks and failures.

sycat: fuses blowing are teh result of shorts in electrical systems or increase in load on a circuit. if your vehicle has less than 60k on it this is a no charge item to you to have repaired at your dealer. if there is more than 60k on the car it is unfortunate that it falls outside of the bumper to bumper warranty tiem range and is your responsibilty to take care of. the 10/100 warranty is powertrain mechanical only...no electrical past 60k.

punk554 and akinaspeedstar: sorry but his concern is electrical. the reflash is concerning engine stall at low speeds (common at stop lights) and the rail is pertaining to loss of fuel pressure after the car sits that created hard starts and flooding situations.
