Ray Skillman Kia Out of our hands Indianapolis Indiana

As of march 2008 The BBB has awarded a replacement car after a request for correction was made. It was discovered during arbitration that a repair oder contained a notation" with DPM's approval-shorter. The customer invoice of the very same day states"advised not to attempt any repairs. It is only my personal opinion, but it appears the car was worked on behind the customers back to avoid the lemon law.
Kia Motors America and Ray Skillman have been asked to replace the car with a new 08 or new 07. This is considered proper restitution for the situation. Another option for the consumer is to take the "used" replacement vehicle and address the repair order/customer invoice issue in the courts with a jury trial. An update will be posted when it occurs. Please note: the consumer has never asked for a monetary award to date.

Buying a Lemon can be any car from any manufacturer. Maybe Kia has more and now is too late for me to find out , so I am dealing with what I have. The car has met all the qualifications to have the Lemon law applied. I have the paperwork from the arbitration......getting the Manufacturer to co operate may now take up to 2 years. This is the way the Manufactuers work in my opinion. ........Get your money/keep your money. Time will tell on this one. It's business not personal with these companies.

Lemonvictum,

The first thing you did wrong was buying a KIA. They are JUNK. This is well known. But they are CHEAP so people buy them anyway. First mistake.

You never mentioned what the time frame was on these repairs, or the mileage.

You should give us the mileage on the car currently and what it was on each repair.

We also need to know what year the vehicle is and when you bought it, as well as if the original warranty has expired, and if you bought the extended warranty or not.

If you were under any sort of warranty, you should not have screamed lemon law.

FYI...There is no such thing as "title washing" as you suggest. If this car is taken back under the lemon law, it can only be resold with full disclosure. And, a CARFAX report will show the manufacturer buyback.

When a consumer requests the lemon law in IN, the dealership has no liablity to the car after that. They can not be held responsible for a Manufacturers product.
