    You are so right! And my point to Kia! This could be a bigger defect than just my car. Consumer beware make sure you ask about the engine and the cylinder head if you decide to buy.

    Does a problem always need to occur three times to be considered a lemon? Not necessarily. If your car is in the shop 30 days or more in the first year, consecutive or not, we can file a claim under the Law. How does the OH Lemon Law offer cost-free representation? The Lemon Law in OH, and...

    Also do your research, the dealership and manufacturer will not tell you everything! Had to get legal advice to understand Ohio laws and consumer rights!

    New Purchase Disaster

    It's now been two weeks, received a call today from the service department saying that it would be another 30-days just to get the part in for the car. It was expected to be in today but because it's a new car they don't have the part. Appears the cylinder head at the top of the engine was not...

    Thank you! I researched Ohio’s Lemon Laws you are so correct and it’s also very important to document this process thoroughly. You are correct also with the technical aspect. The dealership was in awe and it took a few days for them to asses the problem. They had to contact their technical...

    Thank you! Unfortunately, I think I need a lawyer. Not sure if I can take a giant like this on by myself . I did reach out to their regional manager. I just had my loaner SUV upgraded, nothing against Nissan (Rogue) but this is not even close to what I purchased and to small for my family...

    SX is no better so do not fool yourself. Just bought the car brand new 16 miles and they had to drop the engine due to a coolant defect and now I am being told a cylinder head, really....you have to touch my engine within less than two weeks from purchase. Sad thing is they had to work with...

    Thank you, cause I did not sign up for this.... now what's more interesting, I just spoke to the bank and they told me the dealership can return the loan. God forbid for them to do something like that. If anything is wrong with that car, I will take it back to them. I see a long ride...
