Actually, it's not just Kia. The brand new (in '89) Mazda 626 I bought was delivered with a (nearly) dead Panasonic crapass battery. The new replacement (also Panasonic) lasted about 2.5 years before it too joined the shitpile. Then I bought a real battery.
And yes, if I drove 3 hours for nothing I'd probably be spraying bullets with my Uzi.

I would have called up the service manager at home and made his *** come in and give me my keys
or at the very least a loaner car so I would not have to inconvience someone to drive me back the next day

Yep, or busted in the door or window and take the keys.

BTW, Kia makes very shitty batteries. About 15% of our new stocked Kia's need a battery replacement before they can be sold.
