Jesus, South Korea, now would be a lovely tim to instigate an international incident on behalf of all of the other countries currently being bullied by our racist federal government!

I don’t think SK can do anything about it, unfortunately. Our shitty fucking government doesn’t care.

I wish the rest of the world would put us under trade embargo. The US imports an absolute fuckton of South Korean electronics and cars. KIA is quite well established here, especially as a budget car.

100% agreed. Make us feel the pain.

Budget car? Where you get that from?
It costs like $7 for a thermostat for most other brands, but it costs $17 for a thermostat for a 2005 Hyundai or Kia, not counting the $11 rubber gasket.
And don’t get me started on the cost of their starters, almost $300, goddamn ridiculous prices, especially for a used vehicle.

Owning and maintaining a car is different beast i presume.
