My son has a 2019 Kia Forte that was stolen 5/26/2023. These Kia Models apparently have a flaw that makes them easy to steal, and it has become a big problem for law enforcement. A “club” style steering These Kia Models apparently have a flaw that makes them easy to steal, and it has become a big problem for law enforcement. A “club” style steering wheel lock can help make it harder to steal the car. After retrieving the stolen and damaged car, my son went to the Kia dealership, thinking they might help him prevent another theft. Not only did they refuse to help, they flat Out denied any problem with Kia car thefts; even after being presented with multiple news articles documenting the problem. I thought Kia was famous for their customer service. Very disappointing. More
Unless your vehicle is brand new and still under warranty, DO NOT take your car here for service or maintenance. No matter how big or how small they will charge you a $200.00 diagnostic fee up fron warranty, DO NOT take your car here for service or maintenance. No matter how big or how small they will charge you a $200.00 diagnostic fee up front. And then overcharge you for parts. I brought my 2013 Kia Optima in to have my automatic side view mirror fixed because the motor would not stop running. They wanted to charge me $700+ for a whole new mirror + and additional $200 labor. $900 for a side view mirror on a 10 year old car. I said no thank you, I can buy a whole mirror assembly for $75 off the internet and pay my mechanic $100 to install it! They disconnected one plug to stop the motor from running and put it back together. Still charged me $224 for "diagnostics". What a rip-off. Only take your car there under warranty or to satisfy their many recalls (like their cars catching fire and main bearing failures on some of their engines)! More

I am very disappointed with level of service that I received from Matt in the Service Department. I had a 30K scheduled maint. that was $680 approx. I asked if I could receive the 15% off that they jus received from Matt in the Service Department. I had a 30K scheduled maint. that was $680 approx. I asked if I could receive the 15% off that they just recently had and also get the Free car wash. No problem he said. I show up 5 hours later and the cost of the job increased to $735! More expensive than I was quoted on line and certainly not a discount. He then proceeds to give me $50 off but still more than the original price. Then I go to my car and the complimentary car wash was not done! He told me to come back the following Saturday and that he would give me a full detail car clean for the inconvenience. I arrived and he said it would take less than an hour. I wait an hour, still not done. I told him I had errands to run and that I would come back several hours later. I arrive and they only did the outside! No detail clean as he stated. I am in the customer service industry and I do not like to complain but this was the most disappointing experience I have ever had to deal with in a car dealership. The only thing I want is for you to do what you say your going to do, nothing more. I guess that was too much to ask for. Very disappointed. More
Today, I brought my Kia in for service. Have purchased 5 Kias from this dealership in 6 years. Service rep Carlos was professional, pleasant, and efficient with service forms and getting my Have purchased 5 Kias from this dealership in 6 years. Service rep Carlos was professional, pleasant, and efficient with service forms and getting my car assigned to a service tech. Same treatment he's given me for the years I've owned Kias. I am what you would call a satisfied customer, and recommend Greenway Kia East new car purchase and for service. Thank you, Carlos, for your outstanding customer service today. More
They wanted $500 for an oil change and a tire rotation. They called it a 15000 mile service, but in the manual it only says to do the oil, rotate tires, and inspect everything else. I found a shop that did They called it a 15000 mile service, but in the manual it only says to do the oil, rotate tires, and inspect everything else. I found a shop that did everything for $70, and he went by KIA recommendations. Then I had the plastic fender flare on the rear ds become detached at the base. They tell me roughly $70 in parts, but $400 in labor. I'm going to an auto body guy that will do a better job for $150. They are rude and could care less if you bought a car there, it's an attempt to drain you of as much money as possible. There are a lot of service garages that have experienced, courteous workers that will do the work for a fraction of the cost. If I ever need dealer service, it won't be there. More

Had my 2017 Kia Sedona towed in because it was overheating and had issues with ac controller and power sliding doors. After 2 months my car is still not completely repaired. Today I had the car t overheating and had issues with ac controller and power sliding doors. After 2 months my car is still not completely repaired. Today I had the car towed out because I wasn’t waiting anymore. They may not have been fixing my car for 2 month but they were doing something… my hardwired dual facing camera was found unplugged and all video of them with my vehicle for the full 2 months has been deleted from the SIM card. I went immediately to the dealership to discuss how this was going to be resolved but instead I was told no one was available to help me with the matter and to come back the next day. When I advised I had called the sheriff in order to file a police report I was asked to leave because they were closing and needed to lock up the doors… scared to even allow myself to imagine what was done to my car, done in my car and or what they did with the video footage that was on the SIM card of myself and my kids driving in the vehicle for the time prior to coming to the dealership.

My 18 year old son purchased a vehicle 9 months ago (paid in full on date of purchase using his entire savings). The vehicle is a 2017 Kia Forte - Certified Preowned with an additional 12/12,000 bumper to b in full on date of purchase using his entire savings). The vehicle is a 2017 Kia Forte - Certified Preowned with an additional 12/12,000 bumper to bumper coverage. Purchased with a total of 23,293 miles. Vehicle currently has 32,000 miles. Purchased on 12/26/2021. Vehicle has been properly maintained and not neglected. All service records can be provided. Kia Motors is denying a repair that should be covered under the warranty. On 09/19/21 at 3:37 my son was traveling at 52 mph down the highway in the car with no warning or error codes. At 3:39 and error was detected, the engine light and the oil light came on. There was no oil spray or smoke. At 3:40 the vehicle was on the side of the highway going 0 miles per hour. (Information retrieved from GPS/Mechanical tracker). There have been no mechanical error codes going back to at least May 01, 2021. There was no oil on the road or under the car. The car was towed directly from the spot the vehicle broke down at to Kia Greenway East. After having the car for 12 days (the car was moved/started/disconnected from the monitoring device on several occasions). On 10-01-21 The Kia dealership claimed the engine is damaged due to missing oil plug and the will need to be replaced at our cost (approximately $6,900.00). My husband and my son went to the dealership on the same day and asked to see the engine. The mechanic used the optic camera to look at the inside of the engine per my husband's request. The engine was clean and had an oil plug. The mechanic could not offer an explanation about the plug being there because their records showed the plug as missing. A person claiming to be the service center assistant manager also could not provide and explanation about the plug. There was no evidence of a major oil spray on the engine of the car, the under body of the car or on the ground. The assistant manager also agreed the body damage would be repaired ( after viewing the pictures the tow company provided). The following day the dealership claimed the oil plug was missing when they received the car so they put a new one on to see if the engine just needed oil. I do not believe this. They also stated the engine is now knocking, which was not occurring previously. They are claiming there was no oil in the engine when they received the vehicle. I do not believe this because there is no evidence. They are claiming the issue was caused by an "outside source" because kia did not do the last oil change. Kia is stating the reputable auto repair company that changed his oil on June 09, 2021 must not have put the plug in correctly. They are stating the vehicle ran fine for 15 weeks with no oil leakage, no warnings, no oil lights, no error codes or issues and then suddenly in the matter of about 90 seconds the oil plug fell out, all of the oil drained from engine (without getting on any part of the engine/car/ground) and the engine was so severely damaged it has to be replaced-all in less than 2 minutes. In addition, the vehicle sustained body damage while in the Dealerships Service Center. The tow company took pictures before towing the car. The tow company also took pictures after the car was delivered to kia. The pictures clearly show there was no damage to the exterior of the car when the car was delivered. The damage was noticed on September 25, 2021 when I took my son to the dealership to retrieve some item from the car. On September 27, 2021 a person claiming to be the Sales Manager stated he checked a form that is completed when a car is left at the dealership and it does state that there is no body damage and that the dealership would take care of the damage caused at the dealership. On October 07, 2021 the dealership advised Kia Motors they would be responsible of the body damage as it must have been caused during towing. Therefore, they are now claiming the damage did not occur at the dealership. This company has taken advantage of an 18 year old consumer who does not even had a ride to get to college now. We were treated rudely by their service persons, lied to, and had to wait almost 15 days for a diagnosis. We have now been told that we have to have the vehicle of the lot by Monday October 11, 2021 or we will be charged $45.00 a day for storage and that they are not going to be responsible for replacing the engine or fixing the body damage that they caused or a least made worse. I would be glad to provide documentation of all of the contact attempts to the dealership and Kia Consumer Assistance to get updates, Phone records, reports from the GPS/Mechanical codes for the vehicle and pictures taken by the tow company after the car was placed at Kia showing there is no body damage. I can also provide documentation that the dealership was aware of the body damage and provide the time, date and texts where the pictures were forwarded to the dealership. More
