| Description of the problem | I bought my car from mazda in hilo, hawaii. After three months the a/c when it is turned on, would work for 5 minutes or so, then it will blow warm air. The mazda dealership in hilo, hawaii tried to repair the a/c problem once, the problem persisted, then mazda sent me to the kia dealership which tried to fix the a/c problem twice, with no success. I since moved to oahu in april 9th, 2014. The a/c problem is still on going. My niece bought kia soul 2011 here on oahu and her car has the same a/c problem, i have. Is there other kia soul 2011 owners with the same a/c problem? |
