I have a car that only has 8300 miles on it and the brakes were totally shot and need to be replaced. The Kia dealership did not stand by their product and blamed me for the problem. So I’m now out $16 More

Dan, We understand your frustration and appreciate the opportunity to clarify. As an authorized dealership, we are required to follow the manufacturer’s guidelines when evaluating warranty concerns and repair coverage. Warranty determinations are based on Kia’s policies, not individual dealership discretion. If there had been a clear manufacturing defect present at the time of inspection, our factory-trained technicians would have identified and documented it accordingly. Brake systems can be affected when a vehicle sits unused for an extended period, as a lack of regular use can lead to corrosion or other brake-related issues. We understand that this may be disappointing, but our team’s responsibility is to assess the vehicle based on manufacturer standards and the condition observed at the time of service.

The dealer suggested work to be done on the vehicle, just by looking at the dashboard mileage. This was amusing and frustrating as this same dealer is the one that replaced the engine and was suggesting work More

Thank you for reaching out and sharing your feedback. I completely understand your frustration, and I want to apologize for how this was handled. You are entirely right to expect us to know the history of your vehicle, especially since we are the ones who performed the major work on it. We made a mistake by not checking your vehicle's logs before making these recommendations, and I want to take full accountability for that oversight. To help clear up exactly what happened and where we stand with your vehicle, I wanted to provide some clarity on the specific parts and services mentioned: Spark Plugs: Your engine was replaced with a long block assembly, which actually does come with brand-new spark plugs already installed. You are 100% correct that these should not have been recommended to you. We dropped the ball by not verifying this against your service history, and I am truly sorry for the confusion and frustration that caused. Engine Air Filter: While the long block assembly replaces the core of the engine, it does not include a new engine air filter. It may very well be dirty and due for replacement, but I would need to physically check its condition to know for sure. Transmission Fluid: Changing the transmission fluid is not a standard part of an engine replacement. However, based strictly on the current mileage and age of your vehicle, it is a preventative maintenance service that is highly recommended to protect your transmission. We completely understand why it felt like we were just looking at the dashboard and guessing, rather than treating you like a loyal customer whose vehicle history we know inside and out. We are using this as a learning experience for our service advisory team to ensure we are thoroughly reviewing vehicle histories before presenting recommendations. Thank you for calling us out on this and holding us accountable. Please let me know how you would like to proceed with checking the engine filter, or if you have any other questions I can answer for you. Many thanks, Jeffrey Kuznezov Service Manager McGovern Kia of Norwood (781) 762-8100 xt 3441
