A Kia Carnival owner came into our service bay last month after his family’s Yellow Springs day trip had been cut short when the low tire pressure warning appeared on SR-343 east of Fairborn, twelve miles from the nearest service facility. A slow leak in the passenger rear tire that had been building for two…
A Kia Telluride owner came into our service bay last month after her forward collision system had triggered an unexpected emergency braking event on I-675 northbound near the Wilmington Pike interchange with her family in the vehicle. There was no vehicle or obstacle ahead that warranted the response. She had assumed the system was functioning…
A Kia Telluride owner came in last March after noticing a loud hum from the front axle on I-675 that hadn’t been there in the fall. He had leaned heavily on Terrain Mode through a tough Greene County winter, assuming the system was managing his tires through the ice and snow on Heller Drive and…

She had felt a subtle pulsation through the brake pedal since February but assumed it was road texture and kept driving her normal route through Beavercreek and down…
