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 pe\
rson 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 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 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 s\
tate 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.

48California Consumer Notice
Note. You are required to use BBB AUTO LINE before asserting in court any rights or remedies conferred by
California Civil Code Section 1793.22. You are also required to use BBB AUTO LINE before exercising rights or
seeking remedies created by Title I of the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, 15 U.S.C. sec. 2301 et seq. If you choose to
seek redress by pursuing rights and remedies not created by California C\
ivil Code Section 1793.22 or Title I of the
Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, resort to BBB AUTO LINE is not required.
1. Kia participates in BBB AUTO LINE, a mediation/arbitration program administered by the BBB National\
Programs, Inc. (1676 International Drive, Suite 550, McLean, VA 22102) through local Better Business Bureaus.
BBB AUTO LINE and Kia have been certified by the Arbitration Certification Program of the California
Department of Consumer Affairs.
If you have a problem arising under a Kia’s written new vehicle warranty, we encourage you to bring it to our
attention. If we are unable to resolve it, you may file a claim with BBB AUTO LINE. Claims arising under a Kia’s
written new vehicle limited warranty must be filed with the BBB within six (6) months after the expiration of the
warranty.
To file a claim with BBB Auto Line, call 1-800-955-5100. Your call will be automatically directed to the appropriate
BBB AUTO LINE office in California. There is no charge for this call.
2. In order to file a claim with BBB AUTO LINE, you will have to provide your name and address, the brand name and
Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) of your vehicle, and a statement of the nature of your problem or complaint.
You will also be asked to provide the approximate date of your acquisition of the vehicle, the vehicle’s current
mileage, the approximate date and mileage at the time your problem was first brought to the attention of Kia or one
of our dealers, and a statement of the relief you are seeking.
BBB staff may try to help resolve your dispute through mediation. If mediation is not successful, or if \
you do not
wish to participate in mediation, eligible consumers may present their c\
ase to an arbitrator at an informal hearing.
The arbitrator’s decision should ordinarily be issued 40 days from the time your compla\
int is filed (47 days if you
did not first contact Kia about your problem), or a delay of up to 30 days if th\
e arbitrator requests an inspection/
report by an impartial technical expert or further investigation and report by BBB AUTO LINE.
