John A. v. Kia Motors America

San Diego County

Our client, John A., resides in La Mesa, California, and purchased a 2012 Kia Forte.  Kia promised him the reliability and security of a 10-year, 100,000-mile warranty. Instead, John experienced a series of steering issues that had to be taken in to the shop no less than 10 times and still were not fixed.  John attempted to first resolve his issues directly with Kia, but they refused to even give him a callback. We represented John on his case in San Diego County Superior Court. Kia took John’s case to trial and a San Diego jury of 12 found in John’s favor, awarding him monetary damages equal to almost double what he paid for the vehicle.
