I bought a BRAND NEW KIA RIO MODEL 2021, version LX with the automatic transmission. Damn, God knows I was very excited because to me, driving my own (and not my mom or dad's) car meant liberty to go anywhere I wanted.
Since I bought from a neighboring city which is about an hour from the city where I live, I had to give it a small road trip introduction to my life, everything seemed normal and I was having a good time.
The problem occurred 1 DAY AFTER. I finished my 10 hour shift at work, made my way to the RIO and here's what happened:
-The key buttons to open the car were not reacting.
-Dashboard light for a flat tire.
-Dashboard light for my trunk being opened.
So far it's my 2nd day with the car, I'll keep you posted on the issue.
Update from Oct 4, 2021:UPDATE
So the issue was a very simple thing to solve...
There's this yellow switch in the fuse box (the one that's below the steering wheel, to the left) that makes the car consume less electricity, so when it's standing in the dealership, the battery doesn't gets consumed before time.
When this switch is pulled, electric things go down, but when it's all the way back, like on place, everything runs as normal.
Thing is someone forgot to place the switch in place before delivering the vehicle, so when I got back to the dealership and the car was inspected, they explained me what the issue was.
