The sales staff was very patient and willing to work with me when trading in my EV for a stinky gas car. The salesman, Matt Henrichs, is very proficient and personable. Brought it in to have something checke More

Hello, I am writing to inform you of an incident that happened with me and KIA of Saint Cloud recently. In August of this year, KIA sold me a used Red 2016 Chevy Equinox. I had the car for a week and i could tell there was a noise coming from engine, so I had brought the car in for a different fix at the time but I brought up that the engine didn't sound right and it was louder than normal vehicles. The sales guy that sold me the car stated, that these cars run louder. I told the service technician regarding the noise and asked if they even inspect there cars before they sell them. The service guy told me they do inspect them and these cars normally run louder. About another weeks goes by I contacted the sales guys regarding the same issue that the car sounds really loud etc. The sales guy kept pushing back that he couldn't meet with me due to other clients etc. Probably another week goes by and then we finally were able to meet up face to face. I told LOGAN STRAND that the car is super loud and something is wrong. Logan stated, "It is all in my HEAD" and "that I am trying to make up things up because I don't like the car". In October I was up north at my parents place and the car breaks down on me. I called the dealership and spoke to a manager and told him everything that happened and he told me that he would call me back within a hour. (Manger never called me back) A lady from the service department called me and asked me to bring the car to the shop so they could look at the car. I told her the car won't start and I am 5 hours away. She stated that they can't do anything unless they have the car at the shop. I had the car brought to the dealership in Thief River Falls and they looked at the car and found extensive damage. I called KIA again and asked to speak to a different manager, left this manager a voicemail. (He never returned my call). I finally was able to get my car back to saint cloud and brought to the dealership. I told them everything that was wrong with the car. They called me two days later and told me that the timing chain flipped and hit the pistons. The car needs a new engine. A rebuilt engine will cost over $9,000, KIA will only charge me $6,700 for a rebuilt engine (trying to be nice). I told the service technician that they can cover all of the costs because I had told them something was wrong and they never listened to me. The warranty is expired (expired in MAY) they never told me this information (i found this out thru the Chevy dealership, they were more helpful than KIA). They never offered an extended warranty when I bought this car. I have called KIA numerous times (with no calls back, they are the WORST and returning calls) to try and get them to work with me. I called and left a message with the FINANCE guy (he never returned my call) Now I am stuck in a paying on a loan for a car that is undrivable. I will most likely will have to file for bankruptcy and them repo the car and then I won't be able to buy a car for a long time. I have been struggling with getting to work and doing everyday living without a car. KIA just doesn't care anything about their customers. They like taking advantage of WOMAN!! VERY VERY sickening!! I wish I would have never bought this car from them. I will never do any busy ever again with them. I am wanting everyone else to hear my horrific incident and for them to not go thru KIA in Saint Cloud.
