Rattlecan ★ Posted January 15, 2017 Share #3 Posted January 15, 2017 The remotes for our 2008 Kia are starting to show signs of diminished function, but they still work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maddmaxx ★ Posted January 15, 2017 Share #4 Posted January 15, 2017 It seems Toyota has a better idea. You open up your remote and replace the battery, just like any other remote. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is our second Kia, and they are the best cars we have ever owned. I'm at 87K miles on my Spectra5. It's only had two small issues fixed under warranty. There is some rust on the left rear fender which I plan on fixing some day soon. My oldest daughter has a Soul. Her hubby has a Forte. My youngest daughter also has a Forte. My son and his wife have had 3 Hyundais which are made by the same company as Kia. My son says that the 100K mile warranty is a rip-off. That's because he never needed to use it!

We just traded in my wife's 10 year old Hyundai Azera on Friday. Bought a new Santa Fe Sport. The Azera was still doing fine; she was just ready for something different.

Let me catch you up, Mr. Miscreant in Absentia: I bought a 2013 Civic in 2014 for commuting. Now has 62k miles on it. Daughter #2 bought a 2014 Civic in 2014. She is paying for it herself! Daughter #1 has a mom and dad sponsored 2015 Honda Fit (I think I screwed up my original post. They were redone in 2015). I love to drive that car - nice and peppy! The van is now on its deathbed. Runs like crap, The Mrs. wants a new CRV. The del Sol is hanging in there. Just had to replace a taar, the muffler is rattling, and the front brakes need redone. For some reason mechanics always preface bad news with: "I don;t know how much you want to put into the car, ..." 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
team scooter Posted January 15, 2017 Share #12 Posted January 15, 2017 Hmmm, got me thinking..... I dont ever remember changing my 2004 truck key fob batteries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ralphie ★ Posted January 17, 2017 Author Share #13 Posted January 17, 2017 I replaced the battery, so that won't be the problem. I guess if it is the remote itself it should be covered by warranty. I wish they still packaged batteries with that built-in battery tester! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
