Sometimes it's just media spin to sell the story and it turns out that yes it's being investigated but it isn't epic as the sensational factor makes it seem.
Thanks for posting wemay!
In the US innocent until proven guilty. We don't know about Korean Law.
I think that it is a good thing they did the raid… After all the stories that I have heard about Hyundai and Kia not honoring engine warranties, this was long overdue.
This has nothing to do with honoring warranty work. Which btw, i've had first hand experience to show that statement is a broad generalization. I've seen where they honored warranty work when it wasn't even merited.
Sure IS about not honoring warranty work....says right in the description if you read it.
And I am not saying that Hyundai/Kia didn't honor some warranties; they did, and have gone above and beyond in many cases.
Problem is this has been going on for years; I remember in about 2004 the local Kia dealer was offering Kia Rios for around $13k....and you could buy a second one for $1....that's right ONE DOLLAR. This was when their engines were lasting 25-35k miles, and the non honoring of warranties was occurring. I talked with one guy who lost his engine with less than 30k miles...all oil changes on time or early at the dealership, and they still denied his engine warranty. He was fighting it ... I don't know how it came out as we lost touch.
