I'm so sorry that we were unable to resolve your issue during your recent visit. As mentioned during our interaction, the Kia Factory Recalls that were completed on your vehicle were done according to Kia Specifications and instructions. These are not related to anything dealing with your audio unit. Additionally, we do not touch audio controls on clients vehicles so we would not have known if the audio unit was operable before delivering the vehicle back to you. We would need to perform a diagnosis on the vehicle to determine what may have caused the issue or if the audio unit has experienced failure. I know this was not an option you felt comfortable with so yes, I did encourage you to reach out to the Kia Factory Directly if you feel that something we did to complete the recalls is related to your audio unit. I have no control on how they handle client complaints so I'm sorry that they did not offer any sort of assistance. My thought behind that was if you felt so strongly that it was something we did then it would be related to the recalls that they issued. Since Kia issues guidelines related to the recalls for us to follow it would only make sense to reach out to them if you felt it was related to something we did associated to the recall. I also stated that it is possible that the audio unit experienced failure due to age and or mileage on the vehicle. Again, I'm sorry that myself or Kia have been unable to resolve your issues. Please let me know if there's any questions I can answer for you. Melanie Lee General Manager mplee@kiaautosport.com 706-341-4421
