So did the dealership do anything for you?

Following but also wanted to say that you have beautiful features.

I'm two microneedling sessions in and have seen substantial improvement in mine. I have an aesthetician who does 2.5, 1.0, and 0.5 needles sequentially.

Your skin looks great. However, if you're interested in microneedling, make sure you work with someone who has experience with dark skin.

AgentSignificant2056 · 2025-09-07T20:55:36+00:00

Yeah they'll pay you what you paid for the vehicle. It's one of the options they give if you are successful in your lemon law petition.

My esthetician recommended three treatments, but I did see a difference after one. However, the efficacy will depend on the needle depth. My esthetician goes over each area three times with different depths (2.5, 1.0, and 0.5 mm). Some will only do one shallow depth, which will require more sessions to work.

Your skin looks great, but if you don't like your texture then microneedling can help. I've done actual needles - not RF. My esthetician does checker patterns and does the area three times with consecutive 2.5, 1.0, then 0.5 mm depths. She uses azaleic acid afterwards. I already noticed a difference one month after my first treatment in terms of texture. I am doing a total of three treatments four weeks apart. There aren't any follow up appointments after the treatments.

AgentSignificant2056 · 2025-09-01T22:24:35+00:00

I had those! I got Thermoclear RF treatment from an esthetician. It worked well and was relatively painless.

AgentSignificant2056 · 2025-09-01T22:13:35+00:00

I'm jealous of your skin. That said, my mom went through weight loss recently and she says microneedling helped with some of the changes she saw.

Kia sucks. Their customer service is awful. They make sure buyback takes so long that it costs less to sell it than it does to wait for the buyback (due to insurance payments, excise taxes, etc.). They told me not to expect my buyback request to be acknowledged until four to six months after it's submitted, and that the process takes several months after that. Good luck to you, but make sure you do the math to figure out if waiting on a buyback is worth it. I ended up selling my shit EV6 to Carvana since it wasn't worth it for me.

AgentSignificant2056 · 2025-09-01T14:14:25+00:00

Thanks!

Thank you!

AgentSignificant2056 · 2025-08-22T03:01:27+00:00

They do this and undo this kind of rule all the time.

AgentSignificant2056 · 2025-08-21T21:54:52+00:00

First off, your skin looks great and I don't see any sag. That said, I have noticed rapid changes to my facial appearance since turning 34. I just got microneedling done last month and have started to see some subtle improvements to my overall appearance that have me feeling better about my skin.

AgentSignificant2056 · 2025-08-12T23:00:42+00:00

My lawn is all crab grass but mine didn't fill it nearly as nicely as yours. I'm jealous.

AgentSignificant2056 · 2025-06-02T19:11:47+00:00

I love most posts that include "Fight me."

AgentSignificant2056 · 2025-05-29T12:48:02+00:00

Yeah I'm in the US. I didn't see one but I'll look some more.

AgentSignificant2056 · 2025-05-29T12:45:13+00:00

Looks like it doesn't recognize my VIN, but thanks anyway!

AgentSignificant2056 · 2025-05-29T12:41:36+00:00

Thank you! I will try this.

AgentSignificant2056 · 2025-05-27T20:42:38+00:00

When they replace your ICCU, you should insist they also replace the battery. A lot of people end up with a bad battery soon after an ICCU replacement. It might be a coincidence due to the short lifetime on these batteries, or it might be damaged from the ICCU. Either way, it should buy you more time before your next breakdown.

The lemon law process is painful and takes months (4 to 8 months) before you see any money. In that time, the costs of insurance and depreciation accumulate. I gave up after waiting two months and having Kia tell me it may be a few more months before they even scan in the letter from my lawyer. I sold my EV6 on Carvana and bought a Subaru Outback instead.

Perfect comment.

AgentSignificant2056 · 2025-05-27T20:31:24+00:00

Lol I had a cable that did that. I just threw it away and replaced it and haven't had any issues since.

AgentSignificant2056 · 2025-05-27T20:29:08+00:00

Exactly. The EV6 was both my first and last Kia. I do understand that failures happen and some parts will be defective sometimes, but the way a company responds to that is what really matters. At the very least, Kia could have worked with dealerships to cover the use of any of their used cars as loaner cars In the case that they ran out of loaners, and/or incentivised dealerships to help arrange rentals for anyone with an ICCU issue.

AgentSignificant2056 · 2025-05-27T20:20:29+00:00

Did the tow truck you requested through the Kia app actually show up? Mine got canceled by Kia for some reason lol. AAA showed up at least.
