Reviews of OEM KIA parts For Business

Try tapping on the starter with a hammer while trying to start. If this works you need a new started.

Learned that the battery in the Sorento was incorrect. Replaced with correct battery. All is right in the world.

A tiny pebble hit the windshield going less than 40 mph on a small road in Montana, cracked the windshield about 8 inches.! The crack spread another 4-5 inches. Was pissed the windshield cracked. Didn't even have 6k miles on the car. Kia supposedly fixed the eggshell windshield problems, but they haven't. The resin on the telluride windshield has finally given up and a new crack has spread out from this initial crack and traveled about 12 inches out from the other crack. Don't even want another factory Kia windshield, want something stronger.!

Well it's 30 months old and is still 6 months under the pro-rated warranty. Took it to a dealer, they replaced it and said it would be 226 dollars! I asked if they checked the warranty and the technician stepped away and came back 20 minutes later. "kia corporate declined the warranty on your battery".

Garage told me the next day I need a new alternator.

The Stinger windshields are notorious for picking up chips. I got 3 major chips in the first 5k miles compared to 1 in 100k+ miles of driving my other vehicles in my urban area where it doesn't snow.

I would suggest the genuine Kia one, or a professional grade like NAPA's top line or an AC-Delco. I would avoid anything that says "USA Industries" or "Duralast" on it, based on personal experience. In our shop we have had nearly 100% failure rates with those brands.
