KIA of Portland OR, Ken Cornelison GM. - Liars, Thieves and Cheats...and Elder Abusers...

I repeat: https://www.fox9.com/news/used-car-dealership-lawsuit-minnesota. Yes, it's based in Minnesota...but I can, we can, FTC, CPA, OAG and ODJ can, most certainly extrapolate to Oregon.

"Affording your life is tough enough without bad actors taking advantage of you. A car is a necessity for many, and Minnesotans should be able to shop for cars without having to worry about being deceived or defrauded,"

and, to bring it on home.....What Ellen Rosenblum is focusing on in 2024.

I am preparing my documents/our correspondence, in chronological order, for submission to the Authorities with whom I have filed complaints (Abbreviations of said agencies cited in the first paragraph). Starting with the emails I sent David Kell(e)y in early October, which he said he showed to you, to the first USPS letter you sent me, saying that I was ignorant and 'there wasn't enough time for KofP to ascertain my needs', through the various reasons you gave to validate your bait and switch, to finally saying 'you didn't know'...It's quite a tale.

UPDATE: Week of 4/29/2024

Hello Ken, Dorian and anyone else who sees this message.

I am putting together an itemized chronology of all communications I have had with you/Kia of Portland, BBB, FTC, etc, and came upon these, from the very beginning.

I don't remember who responded to me on September 6th (the day I came in), but obviously 1) someone did, and made an appt for me to come in and 2) laid out, in advance,my criteria, limitations, needs,budget, age.....more to put the lie to you/KofP 'not having enough time to ascertain my needs'.

May is another month where I will have to access my 9% interest HELOC to pay my bills.

The line on last document about 92 highway/120 city MPG

1 Gallons worth of Electricity is 33.7kWh

2015-2016 Original Battery Soul EVs had a battery capacity of 27kWh.

So less than a Gallon of gas used for the MPGe (mile per gallon equivalent)

Which while common practice is still deceptive/misleading.

Also it is the consumption/efficiency and not range of vehicle.

Your battery appears to have degradation. If you were to take it in (different dealer)...I don't know that you would get a battery replacement (Should be eligible via the original 100k EV system warranty)due to the current fiasco with battery replacements and BMS harness/update causing limp mode.(Newer Batteries are under a recall that introduced a new issue )
*While I have been without my 2015 Soul EV since 12-14-2023....the dealer lent me a 2024 Kia Sportage. (Will be coming up on 6 months since I had my Soul EV)

Have no idea what Kia North America is doing about the Soul EV battery issue.
My service advisor keeps telling me they (dealer service department) are awaiting Kia Corporate guidance.
I will be returning the Sportage soon as the check engine(change oil) light will be coming on and I'm going to try to get an EV loaner instead.


I will follow the thread to see how things are work out for you.
