I'm on my 4th Kia and, until this one, I've been fairly satisfied but there is something very wrong with my AM Radio, with a crackle everytime I hit the slightest bump. It doesn't happen with FM, media, XM or phone, just AM. This is very disappointing, because I almost exclusively listen to AM radio in the car.

I have been pushing my Kia service department for almost a year and a half, but they can't seem to find a solution. They are definitely a good service department to work with but, as they couldn't figure out the problem yet, I contacted Kia Canada. Their response, while professional, is effectively that I can only continue to take the car into that or any other Kia dealership and, if they can't fix it, oh well.

I have seen an end to my run of Kias as there is clearly no support from head office, so I'm stuck paying for a car with a dud radio. Future car shopping will certainly only include brands that have domestic escalation support. Too bad... I otherwise liked Kia.
