When we bought the car, KIA had a 60,000 mile/6 years bumper-to bumper
warranty. There was a class action lawsuit as to the stated horsepower of
the engine. KIA offered a choice of one of three remedies with one being
an
additional year/10,000 miles on the warranty. Hence, 70,000.
The computer choked at about 25,000 miles.
