Dealer did not fully disclose hidden fee’s (the karr security system) during price negations and credit check.

My 2020 Kia with just 47k miles (2nd owner) suffered a catastrophic engine failure, a known issue. To be clear, the service representative was courteous and stated he advocated on my behalf. Despite providing maintenance records, I was accused of improper maintenance, and the service department, the district manager and KIA corporate denied any goodwill coverage while presenting a $12,000 engine replacement quote as my only option. My vehicle was at Kia Kearny Mesa for 3 months. As a repeat Kia customer, even a partial goodwill offer would have acknowledged both the issue and customer loyalty, but no such effort was made. There was no meaningful advocacy, no clear explanation for the denial beyond the maintenance allegation, and no attempt to reach a reasonable resolution. After reviewing the final invoice and photos, my independent mechanic advised that the diagnostic charges and proposed engine teardown costs appeared excessive and inconsistent with Bureau of Automotive Repair guidance. This further confirmed my decision not to proceed with repairs through the dealership. If you are considering Kia for long-term ownership, be aware that repeat customers appear to receive little consideration when serious mechanical issues arise. This experience permanently ended my relationship with Kia. More
