 On 2/27/17 I bought a KIA Niro Touring.  On 3/6/17 it wouldn't start and needed to be towed. Kia service told me the car was normal but I needed to drive it more to keep the battery charged.  This does not seem to be a problem with my particular vehicle, rather a design choice KIA made.  I use the car daily for my work commute, errands, etc. though apparently this usage is not adequate to have a reliable operating vehicle. Kia does not inform the public the vehicle will not operate unless it has a minimum daily usage time.  I bought the car assuming I could use it like any car.  As much as I like the idea of an eco-friendly vehicle, I take exception to the concept that it must be driven extra time than my needs dictate to keep the battery charged.  The service provider suggested I keep the engine running for 20-40 minutes but can just leave the car locked because of the smart key.This does not sound smart to me.I spoke directly with Kia Motors regarding my situation and they stand by their vehicle saying it is normal and the only problem is I am not driving it enough to keep the battery charged.  They advised me to drive more.  I would not like others to find themselves in my unfortunate situation.  Please be mindful before making a purchase.
