I purchased a Kia EV3, expecting a reliable electric vehicle experience. However, just seven days after purchase, I encountered a serious heating system malfunction. I immediately took the car to the authorized service center, where I was informed that the heater unit was defective and needed to be replaced. They assured me that the part would be ordered and replaced under warranty.
It has now been 36 days, and my car is still sitting at the service center, untouched, because the replacement part has not arrived. Every time I contact them, I get the same vague response: “The part hasn’t come in yet.” There is no urgency, no accountability, and certainly no customer support worthy of the Kia brand.
How can a company that charges a premium price for electric vehicles allow such poor after-sales service? I’m left without a car and without a timeline, and the service center’s attitude is disturbingly casual. I demand that Kia immediately ship and install the part or provide a replacement vehicle while mine is out of commission.
