3/20/2023 picked up my Kia from Myrtle Beach Kia, paid installation for new warranted Kia battery. Was promised car was fixed, there would be no more dead battery problems, and I could use the car without worry. June 6, 2023, flew home to Myrtle Beach Airport, around 8:30pm, got luggage, used shuttle to car lot, and car fob would not open car. Shuttle driver tried to jump start the battery and didn't work. Called AAA and they arrived within 20-30 minutes, said the battery was totally drained, and needed to install a new one. AAA installed battery, charged around $280 but with tip and battery turn-in fee was over $300. Plan was to call Myrtle Beach Kia on 6/7/2023 to see about reimbursement. 6/7/2023 needed to run errands, so didn't call Kia dealer.
6/8/2023 had an appointment and key fob would not work, car would not start, battery dead. Called Kia dealer, talked to service center, was referred to Matt Gipe, Supervisor, got voice mail, left message regarding battery purchase, and that car had drained battery, and car was not usable. About 4pm today, 6/9/2023 and have not heard from Matt Gipe. So have no running car, this is hurricane season, there is no interest so far from Kia in getting the car fixed which at this point I feel should be at their expense. Have been trying to get this taken care of since last October of 2022. All that has happened is continually replacing batteries, other parts have been replaced at my expense, had to pay to get to Kia each time to pick up car, and now June of 2023 and problem not taken care of.
