Yeah when i asked he said i don't know if you can do it yourself. I said, can you check. It took him literally 1 second to check and said no, has to be done by a certified kia mechanic. (obviously didn't check as he couldn't have even said the words that fast) They love this recall since it is almost all Stingers, takes them 5-10 mins and get paid probably for 30 or 45 mins of time. But unfortunately takes several hours of our time.
I would rather have them do it. If something goes wrong (like a fire breaks out or the harness gets messed up) they are accountable. If an owner does it themselves and something goes wrong, KIA is off the hook cause the owner didnt let the experts do it. And it takes like 1/2 hour to do, not hours.
That just sounds stupid on their part (or a deliberate lie because they failed to do the necessary preparatory work).
I asked before they did anything if they had harnesses and grommets on hand. They told me that different harnesses are in stock, some not; and they wouldn't know if they have the required harness until they ask for it: apparently that has not happened yet, so that's a good sign. They had plenty of grommets on hand.
Canadian doctors work the same way , 3 problems require 3 appointments etc ...................
So we have two Kia dealerships here with the same name, but different locations. I just called the second location, they actually knew exactly what the recall was while the other dealership was clueless on the phone, they looked for the part, they had it in stock, they put my name on it.
If you are not getting increased outside/road noise, then it can't be door related.
