I called the one on the website in October already in reference to the recall issue and again in December and in January. The one on the website, and it is the same on in the manual, I just checked. She apologized, asked if I wanted it filed as a complaint against the dealer. I said yes. I guess that does nothing. The question to file the complaint was in December. It is almost February now.

They probably will not want to come to Alaska is why they never offered the regional tech.

Trust me I have documentation with big old tear drops all over it.

This is the thing.........this is the least expensive automobile we have ever purchased but we really wanted to get it for many reasons. Everyone keeps teasing us telling us we deserve it basically. Our 4 Runner was upwards of 30k, the Chryslers were both also, the Hondas also, but since we are moving, this will be our second car, the commute car, and we will get our family car when we get to our next base. My husband is a Senior Master Sgt in the USAF and this is so angering to us that this is even happening and we are almost feeling pressured to buy car #2 before we move but why should we have to do that because of something like this? It is not like we are poor........not it at all......we are going to be buying a second bigger vehicle. It is just not fair. I read the reports and they were supposed to be great and I love the car but if all of the dealers stink............what use is a great warranty? And NOW everyone else is seeing a bad car, what does that do for Kia? I still think it just needs to be fixed correctly and if it is not I think it will eventually mess any number of things up. The light went back off again. My husband will be driving over 6k from Alaska to Georgia in 2 months. Let's just pray that it does not happen in some remote place where there is no dealer. I almost wish there was a way to get a regional rep up here to give it a once over and find out even though the light is not on now why it keeps going on and off........maybe this 'evap' thing someone else referred to?
