Very poor customer service!! Five days before leaving on vacation to Myrtle Beach, the trunk on my 2019 Kia Rio would not open. My car has 32,000 miles and is still under warranty. I called Steven Kia Service Department and after multiple attempts I was finally able to speak to someone and explained my situation. Initially I was told the Service Department was completely booked up and could not work me in. Again I desperately explained how I needed my trunk space to travel on vacation and the person on the phone said she would have to talk to her supervisor and get back with me. I got a call back and was told they were very busy and could not work me in (Tuesday afternoon through Friday evening)! Out of desperation, I went online and “chatted with Mia” for another 30 minutes and was told she would talk with the Service Department and get back with me. I waited until the next morning and no response. I returned online to chat with Mia who was very eager to help and proceeded to ask me for the information I had provided the day before! After another 15 minutes of chatting back and forth, Mia gave me the number to call the Service Department and ended with “Is there anything else I can help you with?” I responded, “Yes, if you are a real person…do your job!” Her response, “I can assure you I am a real person” and basically told me to call the Service Department. Well I made it to Myrtle Beach with everything piled into my back seats! After getting settled in I found Myrtle Beach Kia, called their Service Department and spoke with Jeremy. Without any hesitation, he told me I could bring in my car any time that day, ordered and installed a new part, no cost-still under warranty!
