Sportage LX

  • Automatic transmission
  • 48,912 miles

A/C suddenly started to blow warm air. Brought to Power Kia in Salem, OR in August 2017. Have been back 3 additional times with same problem in 2 months. Each time dealer found the refrigerant low. Three times dye has been placed in the system and the system recharged. All inspections under black light show no leak. Dealer believes the A/C blower is bad but has refused to do more then add refrigerant and tell us to bring back if there is a problem. Appears to be a manufactures defect in the system. Vehicle under original manufactures warranty with an extended warranty to take effect after original expires. Dealer admits there should be no issues for at least 10 years but refuse to move forward with fixing the issue. Clearly a manufacture issue and Power Kia of Salem refusing to stand by the manufactures warranty and fix their issue.
