Kia warranty

My dad has a kia sorento purchased new. 6 years old, less that 39000 miles driven, and the clutch has worn and flywheel damaged. A total cost of £3308.45. Not covered under the "kia 7 year warranty". He was out of county when the car needed to be repaired and the kia garage in Shropshire wanted £500 just to diagnose the fault! Laughable! My kia ceed (6 yrs old) which I purchased at 6 months old. Low milage. All 4 alloys corroded, kia technician reported it was due to curb damage or environmental factors?! Not covered under warranty. Had alloys repaired at my cost with an independent repairer, to be told that the alloys had clearly been repaired before! However, the burden of proof would mean I would have to prove this at a cost to me! Windscreen washers broke - funny enough those were covered under warranty! As they are cheap to replace I assume?! Kia clearly use cheap parts that dont last. Not sure how they have the pride to advertise a 7 year warranty. I would take that warranty with a pinch of salt. Both myself and my father feel very ripped off by kia. I would not recommend kia nor purchase another Kia car.
