| Jan 201740000 mi | We've had a ton of issues that no one at Ed Voyles Kia could ever diagnose. One minute its the gas cap, the next minute they tell us that cant possibly be a problem and it must be something else... which they also can figure out. Car also had a problem where with the car in park, the push button start wouldn't work. You had to shift the car to drive (while it was still off) then shift it back into park, and then it might start. We just traded this car in. | ||
