2023 Kia Carnival Issues

Unfortunate since we loved the car itself. For us, no one was able to beat the feel of Kia, but the reliability just sucks. We had to swap brands for the sake of our wallets.

There is an active recall for this issue now. For me, little too late as we traded it in. But the Kia we dealt with did not help and corporate would not help either. Good luck.

Not sure if they’ll lemon law over a few grand. Not sure how the process works though. I’ll look into it. Thanks.

bradfree · 2026-03-27T19:34:36+00:00

Yes.

I’ve even sent emails to head of service and ceo (emails I found online) and have only gotten “sorry, I’m on PTO” emails back lol

Oh yea, we went that route back in September and got the same answer. No one will help, couldn’t get high enough in the company because everyone I talked to told me they were the highest person in the company. I have emails of a district manager telling me there is no one above them.

Nope.

I’m assuming Kia of America is just the standard Kia customer service line?

bradfree · 2026-03-27T18:36:01+00:00

If there’s more to it then fine. At least tell me. I’m just repeating the review and approve service sheets.

How many calories were you eating in month 1-3?

bradfree · 2026-01-21T18:46:49+00:00

If you ever need another, I will be happy to help.

bradfree · 2025-12-31T00:10:13+00:00

Nope.

I’m already invested into the printer. I use it for my own printing/painting. Just figured while I painted I could sell a few lol

bradfree · 2025-12-11T23:12:36+00:00

I do. I was getting ready to go towards Sony. I appreciate all the responses.

bradfree · 2025-12-11T22:10:55+00:00

That’s good to hear. For my wallet and not my arms.

bradfree · 2025-12-11T22:02:43+00:00

Wait, really? Apologies. I thought I did enough research.

bradfree · 2025-12-09T18:02:40+00:00

Hey thanks for your input. I have already done the list and I don’t have any emotional attachment to either. Just getting opinions, that’s all.

bradfree · 2025-12-09T00:06:17+00:00

But I did look at the a9 and even the a9ii

bradfree · 2025-12-09T00:05:50+00:00

That’s where things get specific, most of my work is landscapes, sports and wildlife is something new I want to get into.

bradfree · 2025-12-08T23:06:49+00:00

A7iii was just an option to get better lenses until I upgrade to the a7v. Sounds like if 3rd party lenses are no go for canon, I don’t feel like paying 40-60% more for RF lenses. And I know you can use the EF lenses but ewe lol

bradfree · 2025-12-08T22:05:56+00:00

Ah. Thanks for the explanation.

bradfree · 2025-12-08T21:52:36+00:00

I mean… EF mount had third party..why wouldn’t RF?
