So, I've observed a small problem with the electric driver's side window after having my Stonic for almost three years (next week). When I push the switch, the window doesn't always work. After four or five pushes, this may continue to function properly for several days.

Would the 7-year warranty cover this if it suddenly stops working entirely?

Since I have not noticed anything in the warranty's terms and conditions that indicate otherwise, I'm going to assume that it is covered by the 7-year guarantee.

Make sure you bring it up with the dealer at the schedule servicing.

I had the service but didn't bring it up because it was functioning well and had for days. I was expecting to hear something along the lines of "can't find anything wrong."

Covered, but you could receive "can't find fault" and maybe even charged for an abortive diagnostic if it works when they examine it. If it fails again, I recommend filming it so you have documentation to present to a Kia dealer if you decide to pursue it.

Since you have a warranty, it's best to use it, but if you're handy, you could definitely change the switch yourself; it's on a lot of automobiles.

Lots of thanks! I'll remember it for the next time the video prompts me to do that.
