!! I bought a certified pre owned 2021 K5 a year ago and the A/C has gone out twice already. I took it into Kia and of course the gold extended warranty doesn’t cover the melting in the fuse box. They quoted me $5,000 to fix it for something that I did not do! Kia actually knows about this issue in the K5s, but has not issued a recall. Mind you it could potentially catch fire, which sounds like a possible lawsuit coming. I am in the military, currently serving our country and have been going back and forth with @southwestkiamesquite FOR A WEEK AND A HALF because their manager told me I could upgrade the warranty to platinum and even quoted me prices to do so. It’s also the SUMMER TIME and hot. They always say they are going to “call back” (but never do) and yet I first complained July 15 and it’s now July 24 and I have no movement on this issue. Two different warranty reps said that I could upgrade my warranty even though the car was being looked at, and I specifically asked if they could if a claim had been put in; THEY SAID YES! I have been patient long enough. I cannot afford to replace the engine harness/fuse box nor should I have to since it’s a KIA K5 ISSUE! Other K5 owners check in please because the reviews I have seen online are saying they have the same issue and some have caught fire. This is ridiculous!
