bought as certified pre-owned from a very large dealership in Clearwater. Driving off the lot there was a bad wobble and shake from corner to corner of vehichle. Took in day 2 of ownership to dealer to have them reinspect it and they let me drive away home too come back the next day after service manager started the car was completely safe to drive because there was no loaner car for me the day they promised me one ..five days in service and not hearing a word from the service department I stopped in and asked about my car. to have the tech say it ended needing and entire front CV axle and bearing because the bearing and axle had a lot of play in it! I've emailed multiple times and no one yet has called or emailed me back! bought on 9/02/2023 serviced 09/03/2023 to 09/15/2023 .. . then on the ride home it still feels like there is a wobble from somewhere in the front of the car
The car constantly thumps or bangs. Since 15,000 miles. I have had Kia dealer investigate but nothing. The suspension is horrible.
NO MATTER WHAT SPEED, CAR WILL RANDOMLY JERK FROM LEFT TO RIGHT, FEELING LIKE DEATH WOBBLE. AT HIGHER SPEEDS MORE THAN 45MPH THE CAR WILL VIOLENTLY JERK FROM LEFT TO RIGHT, FEELING OUT OF CONTROL. KIA DEALERSHIP ON CENTRAL AVE IN ALBANY NY USA NOTIFIED, SAID THE ALIGNMENT WAS OFF AND PASS REAR CAMBER BOLT IS BENT. STATED THEY DID AN ALIGNMENT FOR THE FRONT TWO AND THE LEFT REAR BUT NOT THE RIGHT REAR, PROBLEM IS NOT FIXED.
