(1,085 posts)I bought a 2015 brand new and was travelling more than I was home, had like 6K miles on it, when I had an issue.
Came home from a 4 month trip to a dead battery, not to surprised. Was also expired registration.
Jumped it off and drove to a pace to renew it that was a good 30 minute drive. Went in and renewed my stuff, came out ... click click.
Blah.
Scanned the code thing on the window, pulled up an app, entered the information. Was a little miffed that no one to actually talk to.
15 minutes later someone pulled up, hoped out, hooked up a portable jumper, started me up, informed me where the closest Kia dealership was, and let me know they were expecting me.
Drove over to the dealership and was speaking with the service people. Asked how long it would take and was told to go get a cup of coffee ... I did not want any coffee and let him know. He again suggested I go get a drink.
WHY?!?
Because that is how it will take. *laugh
15 minutes at the dealership, new battery, and no charge.
That was a good car.
