I bought a brand new 2024 Kia K5 Gt the day after Christmas. In less than a month and a half with 880 miles alle the light went on and there was no power. Not sure what happened. I turned it off then back on, power was back but check engine light satyed on. Took to dealership and they told me make an appointment. I did but in the days following the car reset and light went off. It did it again about 2 weeks later and again before I could go in check engine light went off. Dealer said take it in as soon as it cone on next time. Been sitting here for 2 hours while they tinker with the car and no idea what it is.

The car is absolutely beautiful. My only complaint about the car is the paint. I can’t take it to a regular car wash. Was told the brushes may scrap the paint. The complaint I have about the dealership is it took nearly 7 hours to complete transaction. We had to wait forever.

I have only had the car about 3 weeks and 1000 miles. Everything works perfectly and it is very smooth and quiet. Why spend more. They don't get any better. Update: It has been 6 months and 5500 miles now and still perfect.

What have they done!?!?!?

This is my 3rd and last Kia, my first two were Optimas. I purchased the EX and absolutely HATE this car. It's missing so many standard options; no auto rearview dimmer, no heated/cooled back seats, The radio/heat and cooling dash area is a joke. No autolink to open the garage door...all standard on my Optimas. For $41,000 I'd expect more. It has a for sale sign in the rear windows already. Talked to the dealer to discuss options; according to them there are none so I'll be paying over $600 a month for a car I hate. Will NEVER buy another Kia.
