Please. Greater Irvine Chamber stop rewarding Kia America until they start taking care of their customers like me. They sell defective engines and deny warranties. My warrantied 2016 Kia Sedona died with only 50,000 miles and even though I gave them more than the requested documentation they denied the warranty. That was almost 2 years ago. This engine is part of a huge National Highway Traffic Safety Administration NHTSA investigation. This particular vehicle has so many engine defects Kia just extended the warranty to 180,000 miles. But and extended warranty is only good if they honor it. I am not alone. There is a Facebook group of 280,000 people who also have had engine failures and are being abused by Kia. Stop rewarding them!
