      AVOID BUYING NEW KIAS LIKE THE PLAGUE!!!! NEED A REPAIR? SORRY, NO PARTS MANUFACTURED YET!!!!! MAYBE NEXT YEAR!!!!! ( No kidding, no exaggeration or embellishments)Im the owner of a brand new *** that needs a part for repairs. My car has been sitting in the dealers parking lot for SIX weeks with absolutely no end in sight, and no one from *** down to the dealership really cares at all. Unfortunately *** hasnt manufactured the part, which has turned my car into a as$600 a month liability that I cant drive, with a part which has no scheduled manufacture date; rendering my car useless until *** decides to begin manufacturing parts to support the vehicles they sell. After spending hours on the phone today in an attempt to get that part, I was told the new 2025 models theyre busy rolling out to dealerships now also have NO parts available if any are needed for repairs after the vehicle is sold. My advice: buy a ***** or ******, they provide parts to support vehicle repairs, and will jump through hoops to provide top notch repair services. I sure wish I did. I regret buying that ***, It barely has 1000 miles on it and i havent seen it since September. Do yourself a favor, avoid any *** vehicles and stick with the better known brands that actually support their vehicles after theyve been sold and can provide parts for repairs. Buying this car was a HUGE mistake that Ill be regretting and paying for, for a long time. This flipping car has created havoc in my home life, my professional life, and nerves. Choose a better brand that actually can provide parts for vehicle repairs. I sure wish that i did!!!!!!!! If anyone has any helpful ideas for how I can get *** to release the part to me, Id appreciate your input. Thanks very much!!!
