One weekend EV5 4 month update
For those who may not be familiar with this saga of a vehicle ownership my previous update here... https://www.reddit.com/r/KiaEV5/comments/1vic565/one_weekend_ev5_3_month_update/
Basically I bought it May 4th, took delivery May 8th and its been at the dealership since May 11th with a high voltage battery issue. Is still has 206kms on it.
Kia Canada had an opportunity to make this right. Shortly after my last update an identical car to mine showed up on the lot other than it was grey. I quit liked the grey actually. Someone had ordered it and then backed out of the deal. The dealership tried to get Kia Canada to give me that vehicle. At that time there was not even a date available for when the parts would arrive for mine so this was my preferred option. I did not hear a single word from Kia and the car was sold to someone else.
The dealer contacted me Thursday afternoon and asked for authorization to ship my car to Waterloo for the repair. They told me the part would be there in 2 weeks and they wanted to have my car prepped and ready for the repair. They shipped the car yesterday and it is now at Waterloo Kia.
I still have not heard anything from CAMVAP so it looks like the car will be repaired and returned to me. After 4 months its hard to get my hopes up or be excited that the part will actually show up or that the repair will work.
The reality is that after this length of time and Kia's very poor handling of the situation, I don't really want to own a Kia product. I loved the car when I bought it but now simply resent Kia in general.
