What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

The District Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission in Kurnool directed Kia India Pvt. Ltd. and its authorized dealer, MG Brothers Kia, Kurnool, to refund the ex-showroom price of a Kia Sonet diesel car. This order followed repeated failures to permanently resolve a recurring Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) problem during the warranty period. The Commission found that the manufacturer and dealer failed to provide an effective and lasting solution, which amounted to deficiency in service, though it did not conclusively establish a manufacturing defect.
