What is happening to you?

 

[Seamus]

Light has come on three times in eight months requiring multiple visits. A KIA dealership has diagnosed it on third visit as faulty knock sensor; previous visits were checks that found no evidence of an engine problem and a reset. People at dealership seem to helpful (and competent), but is it KIA policy to wait for a third strike before replacing a sensor?

Sometimes it takes awhile to diagnose an intermittent problem, or even help from Kia Tech Line. Is the vehicle all fixed? I know Kia wants to have the dealership replicate the problem while it is there.
