Hello Everyone,
My wife and I have a 2010 Kia Forte EX and we love it. Except for one thing, the radio is not working, it will not power on. One night my wife and I went to the club and when we were on our way home the radio would not turn on. (My wife tried to blame it on me.) It worked great on the way to the club, up until we shut the car off. I have looked at the fuses and even took it to a local Auto Zone and the guy there said they were good.
You can push the power button (push in volume knob) all you want and it will not turn on. For a while the radio did say "Mecha Error" when you first turned on the car but the radio still worked.
I called the Kia dealership where my wife purchased the car and they told me it was going to be $75 just to get it diagnosed. They told me that over the phone and and my wife in-person when she drove in there. Our car has 40,000 miles on it and we did buy it used. The dealership gave me this long explanation on how the warranty now only covers the powertrain. We did have Sirius activated and working also.
Any ideas on what the problem may be?
Thanks in advance,
Darrin
