I normally don't write reviews but if there was an option to rate this company no star I would.
My car was hit Oct 16th and I sent them a check to be endorsed not only did they lose some of my documents but they have now had the check past the 90 mark. I still do not have my vehicle and currently still getting the runarounds. At this point I would like to return the vehicle to the dealership because of how unorganized they are .

Une honte
Une honte, plusieurs véhicules loués chez eux par ma société et à la restitution du dernier un ev9, ils sont incapables de me prouver que j’ai endommagé un véhicule qui a été trimbalé après restitution à droite et à gauche (j’ai les preuves de mouvements et recharges sur l’application kia) et me facturent plus de 800€ de frais de réparation, sans aucune photo de preuve (évidemment j’ai rendu le véhicule nickel) et je dois le payer !!!!
Fuyez et passez par d’autres services de LLD pro vraiment !!!
En tout cas plus jamais pour moi !

I had a dealership outright forge a signature on my paperwork. When I called Kia Finance and Kia Consumer Affairs, they did nothing, literally, well, other than tell me I should talk to the dealership myself. They do not care about dealerships with their name on them being 100% crooks.

Left Kia for Ford
After only 1.5 years with Kia, we went back to Ford. After a manufacturers defect left us without a car for over a week, we were left to pay out of pocket for a rental. The van was a brand new, top of the line Carnival we paid almost 60K for and, despite asking, there was no offer to give us a discounted rate, a car off the lot or cover the rental. While I understand this is Kia’s “rule”, good customer service says you provide folks with something as a “good faith” gesture. In addition to this, the explanation we got for what caused the problem was a load of bull. We were told our battery kept dying because we would walk by the van with our key fob and it caused the lights to come or it could also be caused by keeping our key fob at the front door. In what world does that make ANY sense?!? Our issue was a known problem with Kia and, yet, they have no desire to fix it or investigate further.
We finally traded in the van for a Ford Bronco Sport, received a top notch warranty package and guarantee of a car to cover should the Bronco have to come in for any manufacturer defects. We also received a top notch interest rate.
The frustrating part in all of this? Kia doesn’t accept anything but physical cheques so Ford had to MAIL them the cheque like we are in the 1990s again. So, ahead of the holidays and during a time when Canada Post is at its least reliable, Ford sent them a cheque. I have received two calls saying we are past due on our payments for the van and despite explaining we no longer own the van, they refuse to call Ford Finance saying they don’t deal with third-parties. How hard is it to look up a phone number and call?
This is the exact reason we left. I should have gone with my gut when we walked into the Kia dealership and everything felt performative. I will never, ever buy a Kia again because, while the van was AMAZING, the service left everything to be desired.

Inakzeptable Leasingrückgabe und schlechter Service
Während der 4-jährigen Leasinglaufzeit meines Kia EV6 kam es zu zahlreichen technischen Problemen. Das Fahrzeug stand mehrfach über Wochen beim Händler, was mit erheblichen Einschränkungen verbunden war. Kulanz oder ein ernsthaftes Entgegenkommen habe ich nicht erlebt.
Die Leasingrückgabe selbst war besonders problematisch:
Das Fahrzeug stand insgesamt rund 6 Wochen beim Händler, nur um die Rückgabe überhaupt abzuwickeln. In dieser Zeit wurde das Auto nicht einmal abgemeldet, sodass ich weiterhin die Verantwortung tragen musste – ein aus meiner Sicht inakzeptabler Zustand.
Bei der finalen Abrechnung wurden dann kleinste Kratzer als Schäden berechnet, obwohl es sich um normale Gebrauchsspuren nach vier Jahren handelt. Gespräche darüber wurden abgelehnt, das Autohaus verwies ausschließlich auf den Leasinggeber.
Zusätzlich wurde mir sogar Bremsverschleiß in Rechnung gestellt, obwohl es sich eindeutig um regulären, nutzungsbedingten Verschleiß handelt – insbesondere bei einem Elektrofahrzeug.
In Summe entsteht der Eindruck, dass hier Service, Transparenz und Fairness keine Rolle spielen, insbesondere bei Leasingrückläufern.
Ich kann dieses Autohaus sowie das Leasingmodell nicht empfehlen.

Voleurs, Arnaqueurs, a fuir absolument !
Les plus gros arnaqueurs qui existent, ne louez jamais, jamais , jamais un véhicule par kialease. Après 4 ans de location, j ai restitué mon vehicule après avoir fait des travaux. Le PV de restitution etait vierge. La voiture a mis 3 semaines a leur parvenir, ils ont facturé 600€ de travaux sans explications, et comme la concession a perdu la carte grise, ils continuent de me prélever la mensualité ! Des voleurs et on n a aucune façon de se défendre ! A bannir absolument !

DO NOT FINANCE THROUGH KIA FINANCE…
DO NOT FINANCE THROUGH KIA FINANCE AMERICA
Timeline of trying to make a payment:
No autopay for 6 months unless you mail a physical check. Dealership never mentioned this or offered to set it up.
First payment "failed" despite correct info and funds in account. Bank shows no attempted debit. Got charged a late fee anyway. Rep had no explanation.
Website date picker is broken. Grayed out, can't select dates, can't type values. Looks like Flash-era software.
Tried to set up autopay today. Clicked Continue. Page scrolls to top. No error message. Nothing. Disabled ad blocker to troubleshoot - 9 trackers loaded instantly. Site can't process payments but CAN surveil you.
Called them. Robot repeats "Say yes when you get the text" three times before revealing other options. Does not detect screaming.
Finally routed to a third-party payment processor with its own privacy policy I had to agree to just to pay my facking bill.
Paying with a human on the phone? That costs extra too.
Meanwhile, my dealership (Garden Grove Kia) pushed hard for a perfect score on Kia's internal survey in exchange for a free tank of gas - before I'd experienced any of this. Those internal metrics are worthless. The system is designed to capture good ratings before reality hits.
Finance through a credit union. Finance through your bank. Finance through literally anyone else. The car might be fine. Kia Finance will make you pay for it in more ways than one.
