TOLL-FREE ASSISTANCE
Should you be made to wait on a desolate road because you don’t have any money? Definitely not. Our toll-free hotline is open to all Americans and staffed around-the-clock, every day of the year. The number is also easy to remember: 1-800-333-4Kia.
EMERGENCY ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE
We have established a network of over 17,000 roadside assistance providers because a free phone call isn’t much use if it doesn’t result in someone coming to your aid. They will assist you for free when you encounter the typical small hiccups, such as dead batteries, flat tires (as long as you have a spare that isn’t flat), and running out of gas.
If a warrantable issue arises that cannot be resolved immediately, we will arrange for your towing, free of charge, to the closest Kia dealer or Alternate Service Location (ASL), whichever is closer. Of course, the Kia 10-year/100,000-mile warranty program may cover your repairs if you have a valid warranty-related issue.
In the unfortunate event that your vehicle breaks down after hours, on the weekend, or on a holiday, your car will be towed, stored, and delivered the next working day to the closest Kia dealer or ASL.
TRIP INTERRUPTION POLICY
Benefits for trip interruption expenses are given if a warranty-related disablement happens more than 150 miles from the customer’s residence and if the repairs take more than 24 hours to finish. Meals, housing, or rental vehicle costs may be reimbursed in a reasonable amount. A three-day maximum limit per event and a daily cap of $100 apply to trip interruption coverage. Customers must get in touch with the Kia Consumer Assistance Center to explain their situation and ask for compensation. If the situation qualifies for trip interruption benefits, a representative from the Kia Consumer Assistance Center will make that determination and, if so, inform the customer that their trip interruption charges will be covered.
Insurance deductibles, out-of-pocket costs, and claims paid by the client’s insurer or any third parties are not reimbursable.
The company that offers 24-hour roadside assistance is Kia Motors America, Inc. There are limitations. For detailed details, consult the owner’s manual.
Do Kia vehicles include roadside assistance?
The Kia Roadside Assistance Plan is included on all new Kia vehicles. The Limited Warranty from Kia is extended by this. The phone center for roadside assistance is staffed around-the-clock, every day of the year.
Which of the following is covered by Kia’s service plan for roadside assistance?
The 10-year/100,000-mile guarantee program is the name of Kia’s warranty, and while those numbers have tremendous initial appeal, it’s vital to lift the curtain and read the small print to see if this warranty is really all that it’s built up to be.
For new Kia vehicles, the 10-year/100,000-mile Kia warranty program offers the following coverage:
- Limited powertrain warranty for ten years and ten thousand miles: This warranty’s longest coverage is limited to the powertrain alone (engine, transmission, and elements like the axles and driveshafts).
- a basic 5-year/60,000-mile warranty that is limited: The bumper-to-bumper guarantee offered by Kia covers practically all of the car’s components, with the exception of typical “wear and tear” parts like brake pads, windshield wipers, and tires.
- Limited 5-year/100,000-mile anti-perforation warranty: This warranty offers defense against rust and internal perforation of the external body panels. However, it is not resistant to puncture caused by external factors like sand, hail, stones, or unintentional damage.
- 5-year/60,000-mile roadside assistance: These services, which are limited to $75 per incident, include petrol delivery, flat tire help, jump start assistance, travel disruption benefits, and towing to the closest authorized Kia dealer.
Again, the term lengths are the most noticeable feature of Kia’s guarantee. The limited (bumper-to-bumper) and powertrain warranties are both over twice as lengthy as the industry average.
What does the Kia warranty not cover?
The following items are excluded from the KIA New Vehicle Warranty: As a result of normal wear and tear, replenishing or replacing oil, fluids, coolant, wiper blades, fan belts, filters, brake and clutch linings, spark plugs, light globes, gaskets, and so forth.
Does roadside assistance fall under the Kia extended warranty?
There is no doubting that Hyundai and Kia are market leaders in offering vehicles with coverage in the event of a manufacturing problem. They do, however, face the same restrictions that other automakers do. For starters, all Kia owners must only have repairs made on their cars at authorized Kia of America dealership service centers.
Another restriction is that, if you buy a used or CPO Kia car, your coverage option will never be the same for you. You could only be eligible for Kia’s 5-year/60,000-mile warranty “Limited Warranty for New Vehicles
Only selected Kia models would be eligible for the 7 years/unlimited warranty “guarantee against perforation as well. Additionally, if you purchase a used car, your access to Kia’s 24-hour roadside assistance expires after 5 years or 60,000 miles.
The 10-year/100,000-mile warranty scheme for Kia will assist new owners in paying for repairs.
Although many Kia owners are either keeping their vehicles longer than 10 years OR have older model years, we are aware of this. There are numerous benefits to using Kia’s network and services, but there aren’t many options available to drivers of Kias who don’t meet the restrictions and requirements that even Kia’s industry-leading warranty covers.
How long is the Kia new car warranty?
The Kia new car warranty includes 5-year/60,000-mile basic warranty coverage, 10-year powertrain coverage, and more. A second owner will be able to benefit from this transferable coverage with the Kia warranty.
Do Kia’s 10 year warranties still exist?
Most new automobile manufacturer warranties are valid for three years or 36,000 miles, whichever comes first. A powertrain warranty is frequently provided separately and has a duration of five years or 60,000 miles, again depending on whether the first limit is reached. The numerous components of an automobile that make it move, such as the engine, transmission, etc., are referred to as the powertrain.
According to Motor1, Kia’s trust in their designs and the general caliber of their automobiles is powerfully conveyed by this lengthy warranty. You’re setting yourself up to lose a lot of money if you promise to cover any powertrain problems for 10 years on a vehicle that is likely to have many of these problems. Kia doesn’t appear concerned though.
Ten-year/100,000-mile limited powertrain warranty
Kia claims that their 10-year, 100,000-mile warranty is proof of the high caliber of their cars. The powertrain is covered under this package for up to 10 years or 100,000 miles, whichever comes first. The following components are affected by this:
- Engine
- Transmission
- Axles
- Driveshafts
Five-year/60,000-mile limited basic warranty
According to Kia of Marin, they also provide a bumper-to-bumper coverage five-year or 60,000-mile limited basic warranty package. This warranty, as its name implies, essentially covers anything on the car between the front and rear bumpers. Common products that experience typical wear and tear are excluded from coverage.
The Drive informs us that frequent problems will be covered if you buy a brand-new 2021 Kia Sorento with this basic limited warranty. These topics solely include difficulties that would arise from subpar manufacturing work or subpar materials. This indicates that issues brought on by accidents or environmental degradation aren’t covered by the policy.
The warranty offers some support for routine maintenance, but for the maximum protection, it’s best to follow the manufacturer’s suggested maintenance program.
Five-year/100,000-mile limited anti-perforation warranty
Drivers may also choose a five-year or 100,000-mile restricted anti-perforation warranty, according to Auffenberg Kia. This coverage extends to exterior body panel perforation and corrosion that originates from the interior of the car and moves outward. However, this warranty does not cover harm caused by mishaps or severe weather, such as hail.
Five-year/60,000-mile roadside assistance plan
A five-year or 60,000-mile plan is additionally offered for roadside assistance. This caps the cost of covered services at $75 per incident, including any towing fees to the closest Kia dealership. Other expenses covered by the insurance include:
- delivery of gas
- Jumpstart assistance
- tire assistance
Do Kia tires have flat-tire warranties?
Road Hazard Warranty from Kia Any tire purchase from Kia Country includes the second Road Hazard Warranty, which is good at any Kia dealer in the United States. The coverage is as follows, and the policy is valid for two years: Year 1: Free tire replacement or flat repair.
What is covered by the Kia basic warranty?
Most repairs and replacements of items that fail owing to flaws in the design or construction are covered by the Kia warranty. The automaker, based in South Korea, offers coverage lengths that are above normal. Powertrain coverage is provided to new owners for 10 years/100,000 miles, and bumper-to-bumper protection is provided for 5 years/60,000 miles. In addition to the bumper-to-bumper guarantee, new Kias come with 24-hour emergency roadside assistance for the same period of time.
The warranty terms offered by Kia are among the longest in the industry. Only a few other automakers, like Hyundai and Mitsubishi, can match the brand’s powertrain, bumper-to-bumper, and roadside assistance terms. Corrosion protection is an area where Kia lags behind; on the short end of warranty coverage periods, it is tied with Ford and Toyota. Kia was contacted by our staff for a reaction regarding its corrosion protection restrictions, but we did not hear back.
The Kia factory warranty, which is included with all new cars, is broken down as follows:
- Basic limited warranty: Kia offers bumper-to-bumper protection. Except for a few exclusions and parts that are broken through natural wear and tear, this guarantee covers almost all of the vehicle’s components.
- Limited powertrain warranty: This comprehensive guarantee covers the engine, gearbox, drive axles, and associated components that enable the vehicle to move.
- Limited anti-perforation warranty: Under this warranty, body panels that rust and corrode from the inside out are replaced.
- Roadside assistance benefit: The Kia roadside assistance benefit provides towing to the closest Kia dealership, battery jump-starts, flat tire changes, and other services at a cost of $75 each time you seek service.
As you can see, the Kia warranty is actually composed of various auto warranties, which is customary in the auto sector. Despite the fact that Kia models have longer warranties than many other cars, it’s vital to remember that some parts have lesser guarantees:
- Battery: Kia will only swap out your car’s factory-installed battery if it entirely fails within the first three years or 36,000 miles of ownership.
- A new Kia vehicle only receives a year’s worth of air conditioning refrigerant charge coverage.
- Audio system: Your speakers and entertainment system are insured for three years or 36,000 miles, much like the battery.
What else is excluded from the Kia warranty?
Although the Kia guarantee covers a number of components, it does not cover all potential problems with your car. The following situations are exempt from your factory car warranty’s protection:
- Services for routine maintenance, such as oil changes or inspections
- Damage resulting from owner abuse or negligence
- Damage caused by a vehicle accident
- wearable components such as brake pads and wiper blades
- damage to the environment caused by a disaster such a flood, storm, or fire
- damage brought on by poor repairs
Is the Kia warranty valid for keys?
Key Replacement Service: $400 maximum reimbursement per repair or replacement for one (1) key and/or key fob per year. Roadside assistance and towing services available around-the-clock: up to $100 per incident. Up to $50 sign and drive each lockout protection service incident.
What does the Kia bumper-to-bumper warranty cover?
The bumper-to-bumper limited basic warranty from Kia covers the majority of parts and accessories for 10 years or up to 100,000 miles. This warranty covers almost every service item with the exception of common wear-and-tear parts like brake pads, tires, and windshield wiper blades. As a Kia owner, you can rest easy during the first ten years of the lifecycle of your car knowing that unanticipated Kia service and repairs are covered by the guarantee.
The warranty period is shortened for a few particular items:
- Original battery: Lasts up to 36,000 miles or three years.
- Paint, audio/entertainment system, and three years or up to 36,000 miles of coverage.
- Paint restoration for non-impact causes: covers up to 36,000 miles or three years.
- Refrigerant price for air conditioners: 12 month and unlimited mileage coverage.
Notice to Our Loyal Service Customers Regarding Your Kia Warranty And Kia’s New Synthetic Oil Requirement
All Kia vehicles built after April 2021 must now use 100% synthetic oil in order to remain protected by factory warranty. Any vehicle that is still covered by a factory warranty after June 2022 will need to use full-synthetic oil to stay protected. Your guarantee may be void if conventional or semi-synthetic oil is used.
Are there Kia vehicles with a 7-year warranty?
The well-known 7-year warranty offered by Kia is a testament to the brand’s commitment to excellence. The degree of assurance goes beyond the day you purchase your new vehicle since Kia assures its customers a 7-year commitment.
All Kia models are covered by the 7-year or 100,000-mile warranty, with no hidden conditions. Even more of a motivation to buy a new Kia is that you can transfer your warranty if you decide to sell it. The advantages of purchasing a used Kia may still include a sizable manufacturer warranty, so they don’t solely apply to new car purchases.
The warranty takes pride in offering “bumper to bumper cover,” which means that from the first day of the contract to the end, the same level of protection will be provided. All costs for parts and labor, as long as they fall under your guarantee, are covered, even if you are traveling inside Europe.
