Kia Carnival Problems

THOUGH the engine is a 2.5-litre V6, it's still a small unit for such a large vehicle. Being used to a V8, you may be using too much throttle. Look at your driving style, and make sure you aren't carrying unnecessary weight. Also, make sure your tyres are properly inflated. I'm sceptical about the gadgets. It's impossible for the average person to establish whether the maker's claims are true. Unless they can show valid test data from an independent source, I wouldn't believe any claim they make.

KIA doesn't recommend fitting its cars with LPG. But if it is fitted, Kia will continue to honour the warranty, provided the fault or problem cannot be attributed to the LPG system. Some companies automatically void the entire warranty when an LPG system is fitted. You should talk to the installer about the warranty he offers and make sure you fully understand it. Generally, the installer must cover the LPG system components and the installation, leaving the carmaker to pick up the cover for the rest. If an engine problem arises a dispute can arise between the installer and the carmaker.
