1/25/2022: Bought this Niro with 22 Miles on the Odometer. Drove it and put 26 additional Miles on it. The same evening, I played with the Kia Connect App to check out some cool features on the car. I then noticed that the 'Check Engine' light was illuminated in the app. Went outside and checked the car, and sure enough, the check engine light was on. Read the code from the app "U134100". The car then sat in the driveway until I returned it to the dealership about 12 hours after purchasing. A grand total of 50 miles on the odometer.
The dealership has since informed me that it is a communication error and that the Kia 'Mothership' is in control of the car since they are unable to locate the issue.
It has been an entire week since I purchased this vehicle, I drove it for about an hour and only had it in my possession for about 12 hours. The car now has 104 miles on it due to the dealership driving and troubleshooting. They've put way more miles on the car than I have at this point.
I have 2 2017 Kia Niros that I have not had a bit of problems with, my impression of this vehicle was such that I thought I would purchase another. I'm worried about this one.
More updates to come....
Update from Nov 8, 2022 Kia finally had to purchase the car back from me. They required me to go through the lemon law process before they would do anything at all. I had my car for a total of 12 hours, then never saw it again.
