Hey all. I’ve had my Kia Telluride for 4 years now and it’s been a great car for the most part. Reliability and drivability are great. I’m not a big fan of Kia though at the moment. I’ve had a simple issue with a door checker. You know, that thing that keeps the door open while you get stuff out. Where it mounts to the door broke. I brought it to the shop while it was still under warranty, and now 9 months later they deem it’s magically my fault and they won’t cover it. I’ve gotten to the point where I have threatened legal action and now they have escalated my claim and probably still won’t do anything. I have heard of others with a similar issue online and they have been fixed but somehow mine is my fault - without any evidence of wrongdoing in my part.
So now I’m thinking of getting out and selling or trading this thing in. First things first. Doesn’t anyone have any experience with a dealership like this? Am I just f’d or do I keep pressing and something may actually get fixed? I’m not hiring a lawyer but it’s fun to threaten. Is this a good time to trade in and get something else? I’ve always wanted a full size pickup and this may be my chance. Thoughts?
