Kia is a South Korean automobile manufacturer based in Seoul, South Korea. KIA stands for “Korean International Automotive,” and its lineup boasts a wide variety of sedans, crossover, SUVs, and hybrid vehicles. Popular KIA models include the Soul, the Optima, and the Sorento. While KIA claims to have the “Power to Surprise,” not all of these surprises can be good ones.
According to California Lemon Law and Federal Lemon Law, you as a consumer are protected against defective vehicles. If you have purchased or leased a KIA that is defective, despite multiple attempts to repair, the manufacturer may be obligated to compensate you.
