All 3 things, will keep you posted. Dealer simply has no interest...the chap has asked for the dealer info though (many interesting reviews of Stoneacre on here!). I also doubt they updated the cruise control SW as it still surges and could be dangerous if you weren't paying attention...there is an update available.
We also had slipping clutch symptoms and they had no interest in changing the fluid as "it is sealed for life" and "only needs changing at 100k miles" (not really sure of that logic). 56k miles when changed and it has very much improved the gearbox, surprise surprise! I doubt that they dropped the sump or changed the filter though (if it has one, as I haven't looked).
The car really is very good and spoiled by the ass-hat dealer attitude. It isn't an S Class and one or two things could be better, but it is a Kia and is a lovely drive with good comfort, excellent economy, plenty of room and sound system that humbles some "premium" makes.
What could be better? The upholstery is a bit lacking in padding and the vinyl is rather thin. Underbody protection is lacking in places and some very superficial rust developing because of this; Dinotrol/FluidFilm spray has covered it up and it isn't the end of the world. The only other thing is that the cruise control needs the SW update to be applied, which should be done next week...seems the dealer didn't do so last time; most unlike them
