Rio

  • 88,000 miles
My had my car about one year and it started to lose power. When I took it to dealership to fix it I had to pay for two diagnostic tests $95 each. The problem was the ignition coil, spark plugs, and exhaust manifold. It is now almost exactly another year past and same problem but now dealership can't read Kia codes and wants me to drive it 60 miles away with the problem still happening. The Kia dealership might be able to fix but have to get the car there. I did my own diagnostic test at autozone and a repair shop. They got the codes saying ignition coil, spark plugs, exhaust manifold, and possible catlytic converter with an estimate of 1260.00
