starter problem

Title Starter problem Contents VIN KNAFK4A65G5568074 Mileage 54, 000 Wednesday 07 My wife drove to the grocery store and came out 5 minutes later and the car would not start. It was not a battery problem as a new battery was installed October of 2020. From what I know and from other mechanics it is a starter problem. Should be covered under warranty except I was told that it had expired in April. There is no way a car this new and this mileage should have a starter problem! I bought this car because KIA has a favorable reliability record. Guess this is not the case. My KIA dealership gave me a repair cost of $840.00. I strongly feel this is a factory defect and KIA should pay for the repair. I have had several different cars over the years with way more mileage and years on them and NEVER had a starter problem. We have several functions we were supposed to attend and now we don't have a car. Rental cars are outrageous and also none are available. All of this does not bode well with Me! Thank you for reading this and I hope you can restore my faith in KIA. Thomas F Girsch email [protected]@aol.com Phone [protected]
