![]() I was told by the Kia dealership in Perry that I have an extended warranty on my 2016 Kia Sorento and now the my engine went out I was told that they were not covering the cost of the engine. Adrienne R Hilton (Written August 7, 2023) I have a 2016 Kia Sorento and want to know where I need to go to sign up for the class action law suit.I think that cars should be fully autonomous or fully driven but anything in between seems to have increased traffic danger and reduced peoples' sense of obligation to take personal responsibility for their decision to engage in "driving." I do hope that most people settle into their Teslas and let the car do it's thing while looking out the windows, but I know for a fact that all the assistance features are giving a general sense that one can do other things besides "driving" while behind the wheel of a 2 ton 70mph lump of steel. Should be the opposite of using a phone or screen when in the real world, situational awareness is primary.when on a screen, we are blocking out our surroundings and trying to see the world thru a very small window that is immersive and demands all our faculties to interpret, operate, or reference. Which means that ALL necessary controls MUST be available WITH NO SCREEN.A car should disappear around you and plug useful data into you when driving. Unless the screen is smallish and/or integrated fully into the console/dash, ALL screens SHOULD HAVE THE OPTION TO FOLD DOWN/AWAY. At least in my Porsches the screen is amber on black, except when using nav. BOOM, at night when I just want to drive, cruise, and embrace the night, there is no better place than a German car with amber dash and instrument lighting, and NO SCREEN VISIBLE. I was so happy being able to fold the screen into the dash that I set the softkey on the steering wheel to do just that. The 13 has a rudimentary touch feature, but both function like a complicated 3din stereo head unit rather than like a modern touchscreen.I suppose that in theory I'm not opposed to emergency stop features, and so long as the system functions as intended, I would leave it turned on, just in case the car saw something I didn't and could use the potency of a computer slowing the car as fast as theoretically possible, rather than only as fast as the driver can hit the brakes.The best feature I ever experienced with a screen in any car was when I rented an 08 BMW 135. Also nice is a small screen for complex settings.the infotainment system in my 08 and 13 Porsches are perfect they don't even let you get very deep in the menus when the car is moving. But not entirely necessary.currently the 2 cars we drive most have a bluetooth/FM transmitter. Dr Mindbender Nice to have: integrated bluetooth, so I can listen to the music I want.
