Many issues service can't "replicate"

I wanted to love this car. I put down a deposit and waited for this car to be delivered. I loved it for the first 8 weeks, but then weird and random electrical/display issues started happening. The display above the steering wheel has gone black and reset twice while I was driving. The radio has turned on by itself. The entertainment display has changed screens without anyone touching it. The light bar system lights up when the car restarts from eco mode, when you shift gears and sometimes just randomly while your riding down the road. This problem I can get to repeat daily, not consistently, but daily and the service department says is they can't replicate it?!? Some of these random weird things, no you can't. But the light, yes you can and you shrug your shoulders and have the nerve to say to me that you only get paid if you find a problem, like that's gonna convince me there isn't something going on, I have video after video. The service department asked for the videos to be sent, I explained to them that they are long (my whole drive home) and I could only send part. They said ok. Then when I went to speak to the manager he said the videos had been edited so they really weren't proof, but refused to sit down and watch the full length videos with me. His solution, call Kia and file a claim. I did. Then something really weird happened, the back windshield wiper went off spray and all, without anyone touching it. I called and left a message at the dealer for the service advisor. I received a call back from Kia Customer Assistance saying they will follow up with me on the case at the end of the week, but the dealership will not work on my car anymore. What?!! They sold me a wrap warranty that I expected to use at their dealership but they won't work on my car!!! I'm not imagining these things, I have a lot on video. Do not buy this car or any car from Earnhardt Peoria Kia in Peoria, AZ. This has been a nightmare.
Great small SUV

I was looking for a new car after having a Kia Soul for 5 years and I had enjoyed owning it. I originally intended to buy a new Soul but when the local dealership got a Seltos in I had to give it a test drive. After a year of owning it I can say I’ve had nothing but a positive experience with it. Pros: Great on gas, 3 drive modes (eco, normal, sport [which is quite snappy off the line] ), AWD, great color options (I bought the neptune blue), multiple trim options available, great price for what you get (I got the base model to avoid all of the extras I didn’t want like lane assist, etc), apple CarPlay is great for keeping up with comminication when I’m on the road for long periods of time, feels roomy for a small SUV, great on cargo space, infotainment screen graphics are clear and the images from the back up cam are crisp on it making it easy to see a good area of space behind you. Cons: Start/ stop technology can be a bit laggy when you let off the brake (I turn this feature off) and wait for the car to start back up when you go to hit the gas. Sound system isn’t quite up to snuff compared to what I had in the Soul. It’s not very loud and forget it if you listen to anything with decent bass. Even after changing the settings, I still feel like it’s lacking in that area.

I was coming from a lease and tried the Seltos after reading about this new model. Within 5 minutes of driving it, I was sold. It is nimble, responsive, comfortable, sharp-looking, and affordable. I have the base model and am still pleased. I am averaging 36.6 mpg and that is not highway driving. I do miss auto tailgate opener, keyless entry, and may miss heated seats as winter arrives but overall for the price I’m super pleased with this roomy vehicle.

Coming from a Sorento Lx 2015 , I appreciate smaller , more agile vehicule , sharper turning radius .The 2 liters engine with intelligent cvt gives more acceleration than expected reaching redline easily in sport mode. Wished an electric seat for driver but Lx is Lx . Styling , finish gives ownership a sense of proud.Bay engine breathes modernity with solid components.Too bad that Canadians receive a shorter warranty : 60,000 versus 100,000 miles.Few missing utilities that cost pennies are not there : trunk 12 v outlet , rear seat usb. My final note : one of the leader of the classroom in this price bracket.

Compared to other small SUVs we tried, the Seltos was FAR quieter, and rode much smoother. The ride is like a much larger car. Love it! The features are about right, the interior is pleasant, controls are nice. The car handles VERY nimbly and easy - which was my wife's reason for buying it. Enough power, good mileage, and the AWD she wanted for rainy weather. KIA has a hit a home run with this one!
