Kia just sent a letter stating their intention to pay the full rental car fees, just asking me to sign off on that being the complete expectation from me. Sounds good! I returned my signature in 16 minutes. ;-) Now we'll see how long it takes for actual money to get to me ...

Thanks, @ksoul2084. I tried the top two local transmission shops. They said they don't work on EVs. Ugh. This car is used by a college student who is 400 miles away in a car dependent area, so I'm gonna take my lumps and move on.

It continues to consistently provide about 100 miles, with the estimated range usually exceeding 100 when fully charged - which...

I'm writing to share the largely positive experience of having a battery that started getting weaker, and it was trending worse, when Kia agreed to replace the battery. My 2016 car now has range that looks as good as new (or better?) - just over 100 miles. We started getting concerned last...
