Avoid!
Avoid!! Avoid! Avoid the brand. I write this review so no other Family or person experiences the same issue we are going through with a very heavy heart and I wish my family and I were not in this awful situation. Following purchasing our Kia Sportage AWD AT GT line 2018 with 33 000 Miles 6 months ago, we have now found ourselves car less after just 7000 miles. The car was originally bought by the first owner from Brayley Kia Oxford dealer and all 3 previous services done by this dealer and now sits in their work shop for more than 3 weeks with no diagnostics being conducted and clearly no indication of when they will be able to diagnose the vehicle. The diagnostics done by our privately contracted road side assistance (Kia Road side not available when called) stated the gear box has failed and cannot engage gears (Note this is an Auto). The car smells of burnt Clutch which we were advised by the road side assistance that this issue seems to be an internal gear box issue from his professional opinion. The car is way under the 100000miles/7year warranty. The dealer have confirmed over 16 breakdowns and also have cars there for repairs over two months and understandably work on a first come first serve basics. We have laid complaints with Kia UK and get no assistance what so ever and all we get told is the dealers are independent. Kia as a group and as a dealer do not stand by what they advertise especially the Kia Family like care part. We understand things break but breaking and not having an indication of when this can be repaired nor assist with providing a loan car wile they resolve the break down is definitely not family like care. This is a very cut down edit of our experience with KIA as a whole. Extremely frustrating and utterly unacceptable!!!
