Consumer Affairs Procedures
The purpose of the AUTO LINE is to settle disputes between vehicle manufacturers and consumers\
. The AUTO LINE
staff will record the details of your concern by telephone and will ask for \
the same information as in Step 2.
The AUTO LINE program consists of two parts - mediation and arbitration. The BB\
B AUTO LINE staff will provide
suggestions for resolving the problem during mediation. If a satisfactor\
y resolution has not been achieved during
mediation, you will have the opportunity to present your case personally\
before an impartial person or three person
panel. This is the arbitration part of AUTO LINE. The arbitrator(s) will make a decision after the arbitration h\
earing.
If you accept the decision, it will be legally binding on you and Kia. H\
owever, in some states, if the decision is not
accepted, it may be introduced either by you or Kia as evidence in subse\
quent court action. Disputes handled through
the BBB Auto Line process are usually resolved within 40 days of your co\
ntacting the BBB. If you have not contacted
Kia Motors America, Inc. first regarding your complaint, the arbitration\
process will take no longer than 47 days.
You must use BBB AUTO LINE prior to seeking remedies available to you through a court action\
pursuant to the
Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act (the “ACT”). In addition, you must use BBB AUTO LINE\
if you are required to do so
prior to seeking remedies available under the “Lemon Law” of your \
state. However, if state law permits and if you
choose to seek remedies which are not created by the Act, you are not re\
quired to use BBB AUTO LINE, although that
option is still available to you. The following section has been develop\
ed with information on contacting Kia and on
the basic provisions of your State’s “Lemon Laws”. In some states, your Kia dealership may provide yo\
u with Lemon
Law disclosure information in addition to the booklet in accordance with\
state law. Other states may have their own
state-operated complaint resolution processes. Your eligibility for this program is determined by your vehicle’s age,
mileage and other contributing factors.
