there is the lemon law.. you need to look into it. After i think 3 times of things wrong with a new vehicle the car lot HAS to buy it back. I would check that out before I took a huge loss

I fail to see what replacing headlights 3 times has to do with a car. A flat tire? Where have you had that thing? Are you sure you didn't drive away in one of the clunkers? Tires are sold from the same company to different auto makers and they have their own warranty. Of course if you curb it or run over a rock thats another story.

thats what you get for buying a KIA... notorious pieces of shit lol! i dont understand why so many people around here drive them, i guess because its all they can afford because its cheap made in korea crap lol!

If you fix the same thing 3 times, you can claim the lemon law. Call and ask a lawyer that deals with that. I had Kia Sephia and my rotors, brakes and drums twice. I was on my way there a 3rd time, when my motor locked up. They said I didnt put any oil in it. I had to prove THEY changed my oil and didnt put a drop in it. I got me a new car and you can bet, it wasnt a Kia.

I bought a Hyundia Elantra 5+ years ago and I have been very pleased with it. It is now paid for and I feel as if I am still driving a new one!

I bought a Kia Sorrento in 2005. It has been a decent vehicle, with a couple of small problems that were both promptly fixed under the warranty. It has been hands down better than the Chrysler Town and Country I had before it. Now that was a pile of junk.

[hometown kia is dishonest]

I got my ass burned at hometown kia. I paid cash for a used car with the promise of certain repairs. 10 days later, the salesman told me they would'nt do any work or repairs. I have two witnesses. Soon as I pay for the repairs then my lawyer will sue for all the money i have spent and more. People hometown kia, at ernie davis' hometown crooks and lies. also the attorney general may just take away some licenses. Dont do business with these dishonest people. I have heard that Mr. Davis is honest.I dont believe it. Somebody is training his salesmen to lie and be dishonest.

I had trouble with my Kia. My mom owns a Kia and she has had no trouble with hers. Shoot, she even got 62 miles per gallon of gas. Its only registered for 35 mpg. We set the gauges before we left and when we got down south to our destination, we checked it. It only costs us $35 for gas to go on. On the way back, it costs $42. We got 51 mpg. on the way home. I cant remember what kind of Kia she has. My stepdad bought it before he passed away. I told him about the trouble I had out of mine. Im glad my Mom is lucky with hers.

Agree,agree,don't know what happened there! I'll blame it on lack of sleep.(sleeping with those grandkids is rough!:)turning this way,turning that way,throwing legs and arms in your face...:) but we should buy as much USA made as possible.

trased...ok law grad :-D

They gave someone I know a horrible deal on a new Kia. I told them to go elsewhere and they didn't listen. Only gave her 3 grand for her trade-in when good KBB value was over 6 grand on it. I tried to tell her! She wouldn't listen!

they tend to underprice your car and overprice theirs.

this is true,I hear the ford focus is going to be nice.AKP

[a REAL Beckley girl]

I tried to trade in my 03 Land Rover with 60,000 miles on it there once and they told me they might be able to give me 5 grand for it. I laughed in their face and have never set foot back in their lot again!
