Thats the problem with with intermittent problems, it has to happen for the mechanic for them to find it. If the dealer is not treating you right just because you didn't buy it from them call Kia customer service. It should't make any differance where you bought they are getting thier money from Kia. If you are not the original owner try to get it fixed before the inital warranty is up, the 10 year 100,000 miles is only for the original owner.

Good luck, Dennis
