Worst vehicle purchase from Kilokor Motors

We purchased a bakkie from Kilokor Motors on 05/06/2024 and have been nothing but disappointed with the vehicle and the service we’ve received. From the start, the experience has been frustrating and filled with avoidable issues.

Just four days after getting the bakkie (09/06/2024), we noticed a diesel leak. After back-and-forth communication, with the vehicle sitting at Kilokor’s repair center, we were initially told that the leak was “normal” and part of the vehicle’s design. Despite purchasing an extended warranty and maintenance plan, along with being assured the vehicle had passed inspection (we requested the inspection report but never received it), issues kept piling up.

By 21/07/2024, we discovered the bakkie had a racing module, which we immediately reported. Between then and now, we’ve dealt with recurring issues: fuel leaks, a noisy air conditioner, exhaust issues, a back seal that doesn’t close, and more.

The bakkie spent nearly a week (24/07/2024 - 01/08/2024) at Kilokor for repairs, yet the issues continued. On 05/08/2024, we reported another tank leak and further noise issues. While on holiday (08/08/2024), the gearbox began searching for gears, and the engine entered limp mode, limiting us to 80km/h—a severe inconvenience during travel.

After handing the bakkie in on 19/08/2024, it remained there until 23/08/2024. The replacement part for the fuel leak only arrived a month later (17/09/2024), and we received the bakkie back on 21/09/2024. Meanwhile, we paid for the vehicle license, which has since expired, yet we haven’t received it to this day.

Save yourself the trouble and choose a reputable dealer. We trusted Kilokor Motors and have regretted it every step of the way.
