In other words, "I need help with my SUV" could be about anything and can easily be overlooked by people who can help. However, "I need help with my transmission" will draw interest from people who can help with a transmission specific issue. Be as descriptive as you can. Please also post in the appropriate forum.

Amazingly, not a request for Stephen to check status. I called Kia customer service at 800-333-4542 on April 13 to create a case with the goal of getting better information on my storm damaged ’ride. I called back today (April 21) and received the following in email to confirm the call notes:
*********************
As of right now, notes are indicating that the vehicle is in "Port stock allocation" status. Which means, the vehicle came in on a shipment from the supplier and it's being picked up the ship to the dealership. I would estimate the vehicle being delivered to the dealership within 1-2 weeks from today.

Sincerely,

Kia America
***********************
Dealership said still showing 12/31.

I‘ll post an update once something real happens.

Peace and patience.
Latest twist. Time to share intel with each other.

The dealership called today with a “Hail Events Credit” offer from Kia US: $2,000 off and 2 years of free maintenance. We must sign disclosure forms when taking delivery.

Has anyone else received a similar offer?

Thanks

I had put a deposit down on a vehicle they were supposed to receive originally on 4/11. After the storm I was called by the dealer and just told that because of the damage they were no longer going to be receiving that vehicle and just gave me a list of different ones coming in May (none the same exterior color). I’m not sure if there was just so much damage they couldn’t repair it or if the dealer just told me that because they saw the 12/31 date and figured it’d better to get me to take another vehicle.

Can confirm this was sent to dealers today internally.

Yes. I took the call from dealership around lunch time. Got a picture of the offer emailed to me from dealership. Thought about it. Called dealership back, asking for confirmation that it was Kia US offer and not a dealer specific offer. Dealer confirmed it was Kia US.
 
Curious to hear your opinions and feedback. It seems we're one of those affected, but we haven't heard from our dealer yet. Is this a good deal or does the hail damage devalue the car enough to affect resale? Would Kia still fix the damage on top of the offer? Does hail damage show in Carfax?

Thank you!

I'm curious to see images of some of the hail-damaged cars. If it is small enough for PDR to fix it, around here its like $150 per incident (not sure if they would charge that per pock mark or for each job). Rounding up say roughly $2400 in compensation, I would need to see the vehicle before agreeing to anything. Good luck

We're in the same boat. Haven't heard anything from dealership besides our ETA was 4/18 and that they had 2 that were supposed to be delayed and "don't know anything until it shows up on the truck"
 
Same boat. Haven’t heard anything. My fear is that the hail damaged the windows and it rained into the car. Once you have water in there, the value depreciates a lot (saw some numbers up to 30%, but it always ‘depends’). I am increasingly leaning to cancel my order and wait for another car.

Saw these pics when I looked for a Telluride with hail damage. These are NOT from the plant but shows what hail can do to the car:
