Vehicle was purchased at 8,000 miles.With a 60,000 mile warranty.within 2 days of leaving dealer,wife complains of noise in reear wheel.Returned to dealer to let them know about the noise,and they said the rear axel is bent.And asked if my wife or i had done anything to cause this,and the vehicle had only been driven 100 miles or less in the 2 days.3 weeks ago the vehicle goes in for leaking rear wheel fluid,at 44,645,and was told the rear bearing and seal was replaced.Saturday Nov,8,at 45,743 the rear wheel begins smoking,and squealing,and leaves my family and i stranded over 110 miles from home,and called the roadside assistance and was told anything over 81 miles was my own expense,so vehicle was towed to evansville Ind,Kia dealer for service which was over 150 miles from home,but no complaints from this dealer, yet.Im waiting to see what happens after i get it back.Im being told this time that whole rear axel has to be replaced.I have no good comments about the service department of Kia of Elizabethtown Ky.
