Its a CON.Furthermore I emailed this company regarding this using their name, I got no response to my email
concerning this problem. So my advice
to who ever is thinking about buying one of their products is don't.
If they can't be bothered with the using of their name, how in the hell are you going to be with their after sales service?
I received one of these emails, I also emailed the concerning company and received no emails from them.
They don't care sometimes I think these companies are as bad as the conmen them selves.
The lack of response from Kia explains a lot. I wondered why they chose such a crappy car for this phishing expedition. Clearly it was because they knew Kia wouldn't come after them as quickly as Toyota or Ford would.
Just to further slag Kias. I was watching a talk on car accidents by a local fireman who implored the audience not to by Kias if they valued their lives.
