Comment: On 9/22/2002 we purchased a new Kia Sedona van from Boniface-Hiers. On 5/8/03 we purchased their "Full Circle" 10 year extended warrantee covering corrosion of upper body metal and undercarriage. I phoned them with a rust claim, visited 3 times at their request for inspection the warrantee stated I did not need, and wrote them July 14 with a preliminary estimate from my body shop for $1836.55 for a minimal repair. Scott Rodes and Randy Hennis made excuses in contradiction of the written warrantee contract. And they repeatedly failed to respond until I called Neil Huhta, the general manager. Huhta immediately said my claim was not valid because I had failed to report the rust quickly enough, though no such requirement exists in my warrantee contract. Boniface-Hiers still refuses to honor their warrantee. Now they want to refund what I paid for the warrantee instead of honoring it. After we filed a complaint of fraud with the State of Florida, they offered to pay half of the at least $1836.55 they owe us. They lie. They delay. They fail to respond. The state told us they are now being investigated.
