warrants that it will arrange for an Authorized K900 Kia
Dealer at locations of its choice to provide for the repair
of your vehicle if it fails to function properly during

such failures to function properly at Kia’s expense, if

pursuant to the warranty, it may do so using parts that
are new, repaired, remanufactured, reconditioned, or
otherwise authorized by Kia. These parts will be covered
by the terms and conditions of the Replacement Parts
and Accessories Limited Warranty. If an AuthorizedK900 Kia Dealer declines or fails to carry out a proper
repair or replacement covered by this limited warranty
without charge to you, Kia will (a) determine if the
repair or replacement requested by you is covered by
this New Vehicle Limited Warranty and, if so, (b) obtain
cooperation from an Authorized K900 Kia Dealer to
conduct such repair or replacement without charge to
you. However, Kia’s obligation to do (a) and (b) requires
you to contact the Kia Consumer Assistance Center and

STEP 3 :
In the event that you believe Kia has been unable to satisfactorily address the concern, a special alternative resolution
program called AUTO LINE is available to you. This independent agency is run by the Council of Better Business
Bureaus and is provided at no cost to you. You may contact them at:
AUTO LINE
Council of Better Business Bureaus
3033 Wilson Blvd. Suite 600
Arlington, VA 22201

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 BBB AUTO LINE staff will provide
suggestions for resolving the problem during mediation. If a satisfactory 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 hearing.
If you accept the decision, it will be legally binding on you and Kia. However, in some states, if the decision is not
accepted, it may be introduced either by you or Kia as evidence in subsequent court action. Disputes handled through
the BBB Auto Line process are usually resolved within 40 days of your contacting 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 required to use BBB AUTO LINE, although that
option is still available to you. The following section has been developed with information on contacting Kia and on
the basic provisions of your State’s “Lemon Laws”. In some states, your Kia dealership may provide you 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.
