Kia Motors America KIA 2009 Borrego = LEMON - Kia refuses to honor Washington State Lemon Law! Irvine, California

I called Kia to discuss lemon law repurchase, and they wanted to weasel out of all the charges denoted in the Washington State Lemon Law pamphlet.  After a month of negotiation they finally agreed to a reasonable $ amount (less the cost of me providing alternate transportation for the over 50 days that the vehicle was out of service) so I took the offer as I knew it was all I could get them to agree on.   Three weeks after signing the paperwork I got a call from the Dealer stating that the car was "all fixed" and they "replaced the frame at their body shop".  I NEVER APPROVED THE REPAIRS!!!  I specifically told the dealer and Kia in writing and verbally that I would not accept the car back with a "new frame" as it is a safety issue for them to perform this repair practice.  

I called Kia to complain (again) and the regional VP said that there was nothing I can complain about, and they can repair the car if they want to, as it is under warranty. The issue is now that I cannot prove the case to Washington State when I have to go to arbitration.

Do not buy a KIA - they are a dishonest organization that profits by screwing the consumer.  

FYI: I have previously worked in the auto business and sold commercial vehicles, I know how the game works, and these guys are slime.  I will never buy a car from Kia/Hyundai again, and since I am the "car guy" in the family, rest assured no one else in the family will buy from them either!
