    I purchased an extended warranty for the 2018 **** ******* I bought from Allentown Kia on 3/15/23. The vehicle was totaled in an accident on 3/28/23. After the vehicle was totaled I reached out to the warranty company ************ on 4/7/23. They emailed me over a form to fill out and send to the dealership as I was entitled to a full refund for the extended warranty.That same day, 4/7/23, I called Allentown Kia and was instructed by ************************* to email him the form and he would submit it to ************. From there once he got the refund check from ************ the dealership would then mail me a check. After sending ***** the form he did not reply until 6/2/23. In this reply he sent me a letter he received from the finance company, ************ dated 4/5/23 stating they wanted the refund to go directly to them and they would then mail the balance to me. This caused major frustration on my end as the letter was sent to Allentown Kia 2 months earlier and they never bothered to relay this to me. I called *********** and they informed me the dealership could call them directly and let them know that they would issue my refund directly to me. I relayed this information over to ***** via email on 6/2/23. Allentown Kia never called *********** On 6/6/23 ***** responded to my email stating he had not heard anything from his team on whether or not they already mailed the check to *********** or not.After that email from ***** on 6/6/23, I sent him an email on 6/6, 6/19, and 6/23 asking for an update. He finally responded on 6/26/23 saying the contract was canceled on 3/28/23 and he could not go against the instructions of the finance company mailed to them on 4/5 to refund me directly. I called *********** today 6/26/23 and they have not received any refund check from Allentown Kia. I followed up with ***** via email asking when the refund check was mailed and he has not responded.

    Let me start off by saying I am extremely overwhelmed and upset. This is my first car from a dealership and the fact that I am going through this with my Kia Sorento is insane. My car has been well kept well maintained through myself and my family mechanic. Let’s start from that point . Out of no where last week my car engine on a Saturday morning started knocking and I mean loud . Worried To my stomach I send a video to my mechanic who tells me . Hun your engine is going bad and Kia has a class action lawsuit in Kia sorentos for engines seizing up contact them see what you can do. I go to Allentown Kia they basically tell me the same thing say nothing is covered since you didn’t maintain your vehicle here and asked me to pick up my car . They are charging me 11k to fix my car. Here me out I use my vehicle to take my disabled child to her therapies and appointments. Absolutely not one friendly tone not let’s see what’s going on but the moment I walked into purchase everyone was so sweet. I’m reading everywhere this has been happening to the models of the vehicle I’m driving 2018 Kia Sorento ! Not one sign that my car had issues and now one morning my engine goes bad ! Absolutely not. I feel like I’m in a nightmare I asked if I can trade it in at least to get me and my daughter around they said I owe to much ! I don’t know what’s going on I just know that the service department is basically saying your lost and a few people are telling me Kia Allentown is the worst in town go to Lehighton and I would if my engine would work and take me up to Lehighton ! If my car had a class action lawsuit against the engine just two years ago the same year you guys sold it to me then that’s telling me you guys new about this ! All warranty’s are in house made so someone tell me what’s going on and why you can’t help me for a vehicle you sold me that would potentially go bad and leave me in a hole
