We still have the window sticker that came on the wife's Sorento claiming 32 mpg highway. It was more than over inflating the tires. That was the first thing I did when we got it home. Shortly after that I carried a vw axle to the machine shop in Hopewell that was building the frame for my 3 wheeler. I drove on route 5 a 55 mph road with almost no traffic. I figured just maintaining 55 mph the Sorento would get me close to 40 mpg with the first year GDI 4 cylinder engine and 6 speed auto. Not even close. I barely made it to 32 mpg.
Same road my Mirage would do 55 mpg today.
A billion bucks for a lie, not including any settlement with Nissan for the falsehood. KIA is paying her for the mileage difference. AS far as I am concerned they have paid her nothing for the reduced resale value, which as far as I am concerned should be another $2k. I doubt we will ever buy another KIA-Hyundai product after being defrauded.
I'm at 51% over EPA combined in my Mirage, but the distaste with their handling of the rear axle issue while not as egregious as the Sorento is enough to convince me that my customer loyalty to both manufacturers is just not there.
I'm still considering legal action in both cases.
Fool me once, goodbye.
