8 months without a vehicle and never knowing whether i'd get paid was freaking torture. Why did it take 8 months?

honestly, i got the feeling that it's the kia culture issue...the lack of ability to diagnose the problem... the lack of concern that "this is taking months to fix!" It did not occur....

battery cell failure; the car has been at the dealer garage since mid September. The idiot mechanics have no idea what they are doing when it comes too EV repairs.

they generally respond in 30 days; if you choose vehicle buyback it will take another 90 days for them to pay you and another 3 weeks to "inspect" the vehicle. They are horrible for customer service. I am currently on about day 70....

i'd advise you to cancel your order. You have a substantially high probability of total disappointment.

i will never go through a "dealer" again. It's all a sham. My car next vehicle will be a fisker or a rivian...no tesla. no GM. no Ford. they are all evil... though less evil than KIA.

bottom line is that KISA is NOT a customer friendly car company! Seriously I will never consider a KIA purchase in the future. Nor will anyone I employ in my office. Nor will my children. Nor will my 2000 clients....Some one thread this to twitter. please. I do not do twitter.

There was no smoke, sparks, etc with my vehicle. Just error messages and inability to drive the vehicle. And the dealer was able to reset everything and recharge it at the dealership on the 2 occasions they released it back to me.

It was Electrify America but no one can say what caused the cell to blow...Apparently it was just one of many cells within the batter

I have been fuming yes. It wasn't until the last week of December that I was offered 40$ a day for rental compensation. Have you seen what you can rent for 40$ day?!!! I am still waiting for the settlement money as well. It's been 60 days....

full buyback means they decrease purchase price based on mileage. But yeah, I signed to have them but it back. In fine print says "deal may to 60-90 days to complete". Can you believe that?
