Do you own a Kia Car? These are great cars, but after a while, the keys suffer from two problems that we will look at as part of our Kia key repair service. Here is the key type we’ll look at in this article
The good news is that these are simple for us to repair, plus the electronics inside the key rarely go wrong, unlike other makes.
Kia Key Repair Service - Broken Blade
The worst problem is that the blade breaks away from the rest of the key. The issue is that the blade is attached to a blade holder by way of a small pin. The metal that the blade holder is made from is not strong enough and develops a crack around the hole. The next thing you hear is the chink sound as your key blade drops out on the pavement! Or the key blade gets left behind in the lock when you take the key out. Or you could find the blade separate in your pocket or handbag.
Unfortunately, the blade holder part is unavailable separately; it comes as part of a replacement case. The good news is that this is an easy fix at our Lincoln Car Key Man workshop. Let’s look at the second problem we see with these keys.
Kia Key Buttons Perish
The other problem we see with these keys concerns the buttons. Eventually, after many years, the rubber on the buttons wears through. In normal operation, pressing the rubber activates an electronic switch inside the key, protecting the delicate electronics inside the key.
However, when the rubbers perish, you can only use the switch by poking something into the key, such as a pencil. Poking anything into the key will cause damage in the long term. Therefore, we recommend our Kia key repair service to solve both problems.
