My wife brought our 2013 Kia Rio in for 2 recall updates - ppoussard624
My wife brought our 2013 Kia Rio in for 2 recall updates on 6/19/2024. The car had NO mechanical issues whatsoever. It ran perfectly. This is a car with about 88K miles on it. It still has a LOT of life in it and was garage kept. They tried to run the update for the security issues Kia is dealing with, and it FRIED the Body Control Module. The “brainiacs” at Kia manufacturing had decided to quit making the part which would fix the car. So, our car has been sitting at Tameron Kia Westbank in Harvey since the day it was brought in OVER 4 months ago. BEWARE if you’re considering buying a Kia vehicle. They could possibly PREMATURELY quit making important parts to repair a vehicle as in our case. The driver’s side window is down because the BCM controlled that. Also, the blinkers, lights, hazard lights, among other things don’t work. VERY FRUSTRATING, to say the least…😡
As of 11/5/2024, the vehicle is STILL sitting at the dealership! They sent the Body Control Module to be “repaired.” It’s been in their possession (Tameron Kia Westbank) since the end of last week. Supposedly, an “appointment” was made to install the BCM in the car yesterday. The whole day goes by with NO update. My wife texts the GM of the dealership this morning for an update. No update. We go in to the dealership after not hearing anything. The GM tells us he didn’t want to call us yet because there’s more bad news. (As if we wouldn’t have found out as MORE time had passed) They installed the “repaired” BCM. Now, the car won’t even start when it at least ran before. Now, they’ll just do as Steve Miller says in one of his songs…TIME KEEPS ON SLIPPING, SLIPPING, SLIPPING, INTO THE FUTURE because they’ll just “drag their feet” like we haven’t been inconvenienced enough for well over four months.😡😡😡
