Newest system update deleted my preset radio stations

[onemoreday55]

RANT!! Saturday night, when I let the system update, it canceled all my preset radio stations. I realize that's not an issue for many, as folks have gone to Sirius Radio & the like; however, I have not, as I don't want the monthly cost. I realize I may be behind the times, however, it's my choice. Also, in attempting to reinstall my favorites, now many don't come up in the list - I have to manually input those station numbers.

I'm disgusted beyond belief that Corporate America and other empty suits continue to tell us what we should want or need.

Rant over!! Carry on!!

Wife had the same thing happen to her yesterday after she updated.

Wife had the same thing happen to her yesterday after she updated.

I called the Kia Owners Portal to report it. The CSR I got didn't seem to care much, just said she'd note it.

My 2-week-old Telly updated itself yesterday. Other than "15 minutes" taking more like 1/2 hour I see no problems. No radio settings changes.

I wasn't aware that the infotainment system does self updates. I thought we had to log onto a PC and load it on a memory stick and then take it to the car to update.

over the air for the new ones, after 22.

I've had several updates, but this one is the only one that's negatively affected the vehicle. I'm not a happy camper, having to recreate the wheel!!

Just got the update on my 24 and no changes. Wonder why it affects some but not others.

My Telluride just update itself and I lost my presets and it also changed my km to miles. I was driving at the time. Getting disappointed with this car. Waiting to get a new timing chain and having transmission hiccups. Up until a month ago I loved this vehicle. The issues I mentioned are all known to Kia.

the first 2 or 3 updates didn't make unnecessary changes; the last couple did. I'd love to know why it's happened, at all!!

So far, the preset radio stations deletion is my only issue; I will say, it would appear, the company isn't handling recalls well, at all. I had an appointment with the dealer Monday, to address the parking brake issue and the "wheel sensor" issue (I was told by the tech writer, those two are the same issue), however, again according to the tech writer, they wouldn't address the seat fire hazard issue until I get an official recall notice, as my unit may not be affected. Hmm...I didn't think to ask, why can't you pull up my VIN number and check while I'm here, rather than require me to waste another morning sitting at your dealership, twiddling my thumbs.

Yes, all issues are known!!

My more pressing issue is as follows: each month, I pay a significant amount toward my principal balance, and will be pay my call off early with the next 2 years. Each month, I go online, make my payment, however, I'm unable to designate where I want those extra dollars to go while I'm online. Each month, I must call the company, one day post payment, wait on hold to speak with a CSR, and request they move said dollars to the appropriate box. I'm told, they're working on a solution. Again, hmm...as I've made my 10th payment, and I know for a fact, having worked in and with IT departments, it doesn't take 10 months to revise a website, in any universe. It's my belief the company thinks I'll give up, make the minimum payments so they can keep the loan active longer, thereby making hundreds of thousands off just little ole me.

I will admit, I'm not happy with the company on more of a corporate level; then again, I've known for 30 years, there is MUCH WRONG with Corporate America - much more than there is space here to cover. Sadly, we're in trouble in this country in every segment of society, including medicine and religion.

I pray this is my last vehicle purchase. I'd rather be tarred and feathered than deal with a predominately male industry. They do their damnedest to make single women feel like 2nd class citizens.
