Your take on it is definitely possible. It’s hard to judge without seeing the paperwork and knowing what was communicated when and by whom. I’m sure car dealers play games sometimes. Since repo’ing costs the dealer money, trouble, and probably devalues the vehicle, I can’t think of a rational motive for them NOT to try to cure this situation first. There is always incompetence. We’ll probably never know the outcome, which sorta sucks.

OH NOES!
On that item, I do hope you are wrong.
I wanna know!
I see the story has been picked up by others...
That said, toast always lands wrong side down.
I think we may learn more about the outcome. This gal is not a lawyer but she clearly has good legal representation. I suspect her lawyer has a plan, it may be revenge or an opportunity to make some money. This lawyer may have a bone tp pick with the lawyer representing the Kia company. Or the lawyer knows of many people who have been screwed over by that dealership. Depending on consumer laws the lawyer may be able to represent a few of those disgruntled customers for damages or even triple damages.
Years ago I had an issue with a dealer’s repair department and I was wrongly charged. I went to my lawyer who told me exactly what to do. He dictated to me what to print on a piece of paper and told me to make an appointment and take it to the lawyer of the car dealership. The lawyer thought I had come to pay the bill. He came out and I handed him the paper. That lawyer realized he had just been served some kind of legal notice. LOL. That lawyer went bezerk, storming around, slamming doors. When I went back and told my lawyer he laughed and laughed. Apparently he had a long history with the guy and just got a one up on him.
