There is another post about a rattle in the right front seat. Poster never returned to say whether or not it got resolved. See if the service department can fix it.

I like my Kias with their 10 year 100,000 mile powertrain warranty!

i also had a rattle in my front seat but it is just due to bad placement of the seat belt stop it makes it line up with the seat release so any time you go over a bump the two hit each other.

Solution: PUMP UP THE VOLUME!!!!

i heard a rattle starting yesterday, but when they did my tint they removed my rear headrests and put them in the trunk and i think that's all it was, but i'm definitely listening for it now.

Since this post I have been listening carefully, so far I've only had some minor noise from the passenger side seat belt knocking. Nothing to be concerned about. My game plan...either have a passenger or crank up the tunes Smile

Dealer: "They all make that sound"

I'd call the zone manager. The one from Ford in our area threatens to shut dealerships down if they say things like this to ignore customers.

Even if they do...well, make it NOT do that noise! Next car could be not a KIA, you know, Mister KIA salesman!

The reason I never considered a KIA before was because 10 years ago, they all rattled. And that was when the car was in the showroom!

Current original mods I'm working on:
1. iPod dock for console from an aftermarket iPod cable
2. Mood Lighting - one color (done)
3. Mood lighting - multi colors (done, trying to rework to make it cheap)
4. Exterior lighting front (secret) parts on order
5. Exterior lighting (secret)
6. Exterior lighting (secret)
7. Illuminated front badge (different design)
8. Push-to-change-color LED dome lamps (use plans from #3)
9. Removing silver SX rim inserts (someones already done it, looks great!)
10. Rewiring fog lamps to stay on with brights (dimmuborgir91 beat me to it)
