Consumer Description

DROVE 2003 KIA SEDONA 4 OR 5 MILES. GOT OUT TO EAT AND IN ABOUT 5 MINUTES OR LESS THE INSIDE WAS FULL OF SMOKE AND THE DASHBOARD WAS IN FLAMES BEHIND THE STEERING WHEEL. USED FIRE ESTINGISHER BUT DID NOT GET THE FIRE OUT COMPLETELY AND FIRE DEPARTMENT CAME AND PUT THE FIRE OUT. I HAD HEARD THERE COULD BE A PROBLEM WITH THIS HAPPENING ON OTHER 2003 KIA SEDONA'S. HAVE CONTACTED KIA AND THEY WILL NOT DO ANYTHING UNTIL INSURANCE COMPANY CONTACTS THEM.
