KIA WARRANTY in CD Player (tires, buying, replacement, 2008)

[Boompa]

Just learned another hard KIA lesson it's 3/36,000

between that and those cheap tires I really don't think I'll go there again

Does their warranty come as a surprise? Did you assume it was otherwise?

What did you expect to come on a cheap car? Michelin Pilot Sports? Goodyear F1s? Tires can be replaced.

Not sure what you're getting at here.

Did you think the 10/100,000 warranty was bumper-to-bumper? Their advertising clearly states that it's a powertrain warranty.

That being said, Kia's bumper-to-bumper to warranty has been 5/60,000 since at least 2008, not sure what it was in models prior to that.

It was my own fault for not reading the fine print, I assumed it would be covered under the 5/60K

Kia doesn't make tires, cheap or not, and a replacement CD player can probably be had on ebay for pretty cheap.

I know they are getting better, but still i have to say...... DUDE YOU BOUGHT A FREAKING KIA! What do you expect?

OK so now I need a cheap radio-CD Player for my cheap KIA. Any recommendations, especially the Gilbert AZ area

No but every KIA I've had needed tires, all around, in the first 30K

Every Kia? You've had more than one? If you dislike them so much, why do you keep buying them???

Lots of cars need tires within 30K miles. Tire life depends on a lot of things including proper inflation. Do you check your inflation at least monthly?
