August 28th 2006, I bought a Red Kia Rio5 Ex Convenience in British Columbia. It's been pretty good overall, until now...
**Note, I've been driving stick shift/manual tranny vehicles since I was 9 years old hauling wood from the woodshed in our back field. I've had a honda, nissan pickup, nissan minivan, and subaru justy and my work truck that were all stick shift without any issues on their clutches...This thing with 9,000K, 3 months old they say the clutch is completely disintegrated and quote "Undriveable". They say they won't know for sure until they get the parts, but they believe it to be completely my fault and not under warranty.
They told me it will be $1200.00 to replace the clutch and surrounding parts.
Thoughts?
Sincerely Worried, Kia Owner
