Koons Kia to return ~$1M in hidden fees, freight overcharges to buyers; pay AG costs; no fines, penalties

Bad news for this dealer, maybe good news for some here. They were able to get away with tacking on an additional freight fee for years. I leased a my 2018gt2 from them before they closed shop for a couple years. I knew going in they would insist on adding the fee, so I negotiated with that in mind. I sure hope I am on the Consumer Protection Division's list.

Damn that’s close to home for me. Sheesh. I got mines out Woodbridge va. Funny thing is today into work my check engine comes on. Took it out to my shop and it did have some codes. Asb malfunction and misfires. Cleared them. On the way out to my shop I get a text from Kia in Woodbridge saying my car could be apart of a recall with those issues. Life works in funny ways I tell you smh

Interesting! Koons has been warned against a number of times on here. Karma.

I very briefly looked at their inventory when I was looking at 2019 Stingers but their prices were higher than Koons Kia in Woodbridge.

Came here to post this. They tried this exact shady stuff with me so I told them to **** off and found a different dealer that wasn't into playing games with the numbers.
