problem #2

Carnival Hybrid

  • Automatic transmission
  • 14,671 miles

Driving a car that cost $56,000 and you would think this wouldn't be an issue. Getting all kinds of electrical problems and this battery drain issue is crazy! I can't even keep my jumper cables in the back because the rear hatch doesn't open with a dead battery, so in my brand new car I ride around with a set of jumper cables on the passenger side floorboard. REDICULOUS!!! I was scammed KIA!!!
