Kia EV9 Lemon Law Case Study
Multiple Recalls and Extended Shop Stay on a New Kia EV9 in Texas
Our client leased a new Kia EV9 from Huffine Kia Corinth in Texas. On March 18, 2025, the vehicle was brought in for a red warning light on the dashboard and a tire pressure sensor system that was not functioning properly. During this visit, the dealership performed multiple recalls covering the cluster display logic, seat mounting bolts, rear motor control unit, and shift control unit. The vehicle remained in the shop since March 18, 2025, with no estimated completion date, and a loaner vehicle was provided.

- Electrical: Required multiple repair attempts without permanent resolution.
- Trim: Required multiple repair attempts without permanent resolution.
