• Hint: Use a descriptive title for your new message
    If you're looking for help and want to draw people in who can assist you, use a descriptive subject title when posting your message. 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. The "Lounge" is for introducing yourself. If you need help with your leather interior, please post in the Interior section - and so on...

I find the vehicle itself great but I find the convenience features inconvenient.
Door locks, put your hand by the door it locks or unlocks numerous times not always but a lot of times. Took 7 tries to get in one night.
Cannot lift up the windshield wipers without going through a process, I always lift mine when it is going to snow
Liftgate auto open when you are near it is a pain, easier to just shut it off
Snow on the front sensors you get an alarm that you cannot shut off fog on sensors same issue
Engine is very slow to warm up in extreme cold even after 20 minutes of running, KIA is aware and replace the pump which did not solve the issue.
Running in for coffee and want to leave the car running because it is zero out? It won't let you lock the doors.
After your one free year of KIA connect you cannot start the car or lock the car remotely unless you pay yet it tells you the car is unlocked (this is free lifetime with FORD)
No swipe with your feet to close the tailgate, it has a auto close but watch out sometimes it will come down on your head!
Bottom line here, buy FORD F150, got $47000 in trade in value to that is nice.
