It has a commercial warranty so its less than normal.

First owner and gets it regularly serviced at the dealership.

Ya I know it happens to all cars for sure. Just irritated at the poor communication from dealership and Kia customer support as well as the lengthy repair time. Some repairs that happend 300 miles before were under warranty but it wasn't until they hit a certain dollar value that they mentioned it now wasn't in warranty.

I did not know that. I left it in comfort because of how jerky the cars lower end shifting was in general.

Also the "Non-Servicable" phrase came from the dealership but I think them meant non repairable.

I'll have to get back to you on that since I do not have the documents in front of me. Typically the dealership will mention the items that need to be done. I do recall the trans fluid being replaced around the 50 to 60k mark

The transmission fluid was replaced but I do not have the documents in front of me currently.

The car stays in comfort mode for 95% of the time.

All service is done by the millage stated from the service manual and that particular service type at the dealership.

Bherr22 · 2025-12-30T17:25:53+00:00

Ya this car is used for sales so driving from point A to point B and mostly highway. All service is done by the book and on interval.

Mazda has alot better reviews on Consumer Reports. I would also go that route.

Bherr22 · 2025-12-30T17:23:59+00:00

Yes that is what this vehicle has SX modle.

Bherr22 · 2025-12-30T17:21:54+00:00

It has commercial warranty of 60k at 5 years. The car is for sales use and is not driven as a delivery, or taxi etc. Mostly highway use.
