Another piece of junk from Kia

The car radio goes out when you hit a bump then turns back on when you hit another bump. It’s been in service over 16 times for the radio and leased the vehicle brand new! The car also rusted out the brake calipers at 30k miles and the manufacturer warranty doesn’t cover any of this. Not to mention I’ve talked with several other Kia owners and they all have the same problem I have. Kia service center repair facilities also charges for the fixes on the vehicle but the problems still exist. Not to mention when I went to lease the vehicle my salesman went from pricing the vehicle originally at $709/month to $400/month which is what I finally agreed to, and all of this with the same credit score, same job, and same down payment! It’s like if you’re stupid Kia will charge you in excess! It’s like they especially practice predatory lending, at least that’s what my salesman Dylan tried to do to me. Overall the car looks good but it’s junk!

I bought my cadenza, loving it. But my phone never worked, we tried so many things from the day I bought it , they told me finally it was my phone, it was in the shop so many times my job is me on my phone all day in my car so hands free was very important to me in any vehicle drive. That is and was a requirement to me. I work in the Healthcare field. Finally, the manager told me it was the car, that several cadenza had issues in the hands-free they are and were aware of the problem but kia was not willing to fix the problem. Not till someone gets hurt, and they are forced to fix it. At the time we had 2 vehicles from kia. We returned one, I've sold the other. I would NEVER buy a vehicle from someone who does NOT stand behind their product.
