Is the battery covered under the Kia warranty?
I’ve been driving my Kia for a few years now and the car sometimes doesn’t start. I’m suspecting there’s something wrong with the battery even though it's not due to “expire” yet. Is it covered under the Kia warranty?

Sorry about your battery issues! Kia’s warranty covers the battery for three years or 36,000 miles so you can get a battery replacement if you are within the term.
Once you get a new battery, you can prolong the battery life by avoiding frequent short driving trips, minimizing power usage when the engine is off, avoiding heat exposure, and keeping the battery clean.
Aside from the battery warranty, new Kia cars come with a 10-year/100,000-mile warranty that consists of four main parts:
- Limited powertrain warranty: 10 years/100,000 miles
- Limited basic warranty: 5 years/60,000 miles
- Limited anti-perforation warranty: 5 years/100,000 miles
- Roadside assistance plan: 5 years/60,000 miles
The 10-year/100,000-mile warranty is also transferable if you decide to sell your car. The powertrain warranty will shorten to a five-year/60,000-mile term length, but the remaining term for the others will be fully transferred.
Your warranty won’t cover damage caused by an accident, theft, vandalism, or weather damage. For that, you’ll need a car insurance policy with
