    Have a 2013 Kia Rio. Still under warrantee. Same thing happened to me. I wish I would have tried this before towing my car to dealer. I already know they are going to play that game on me. It's not covered/ it's my fault game. And make pay $105 just to look at the keys.

    • @goldenboy5500
      @goldenboy5500 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      +Gilbert Arciniega Hyundai & KIA both have the same warranty policy if you mess with it like this guy has it will become a not covered issue, Hyundai's & kia work differently a similar thing happened to a friend pry open that little door where it says override put your spare key in it shift it to drive and back in park this should release the key then take it to kia they age great when it comes to honoring their warranty if you park in a locked garage I would just take it in and they will fix it free no questions asked don't risk your warranty using WD40

    • @fueledbymusic3
      @fueledbymusic3 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      EVERYTHING ENDED UP BEING OK! The dealer told me that it just freed.I did not need to pay anything because they did not even have to "look at it" Before though, I did use WD-40. I even tried to turn the steering wheel back and fourth. Was not any use because the key slot was stuck on the acc mode and that mode does not lock the steering wheel.
