Engine sign on the cluster
I bought my new Kia Sportage in December 2023 and it went in for the its first service on the 2nd of July 2024. Less than a week from the service, the engine light appeared on the cluster and I took it back to the dealership on the 10 of July 2024 and I was told it was a faulty sensor and it was replaced. On the 26th of September 2024, the engine light appeared yet again on the cluster and I took it back to the dealership on the 27th of September 2024 and I was told that the sensor was now cleaned and they have ordered the parts to be replaced of which they did on the 8th of October 2024.
The entire ordeal has been unpleasant because when I bought this car, I didn't expect to be going to the dealership regularly other than servicing the vehicle on regular intervals considering the fact that it was a brand new car. I have been to the dealership 3 times after it's first service and due to the engine light displaying on the cluster and the car has not even reached 25000km. It seems as it problem after problem and the sad part is that I have to drive from Mpumalanga to Pretoria for that.
I really hope that after the parts were replaced on the 10th of October, I will only visit the dealership for only servicing the vehicle and not this problem. I bought this brand new car in order to have a piece of mind but it seems as if it's gonna be the one that stresses me.
