Description of the problem | Blind spot warning quits after extended driving in heavy rain. Which i understand but it will not work for a week or so after. Dealer worked on it twice already. Kia tec says this is normal. Find it hard to believe this is normal if, it just stopped working during the rain is one thing, but not to work for a week after is not right. Bought this car because of this safety feature and paid good money for it. The dealer agrees with me and also says its not right ,but kia does not want to back up this warranty. Kia has a 9 or 10 point bulletin on when this feature will not work but will not tell you before you buy the car. The dealer agreed with me kia has a moisture problem, but won't do anything about it. |
