Consumer Description

I NOTICED MY 2001 KIA OPTIMA PULLING TO THE LEFT SO I TOOK MY VEHICLE IN FOR A WHEEL ALIGNMENT. THE TECHNICIAN STATED HE COULD NOT PERFORM THE ALIGNMENT BECAUSE THE SUBFRAME WAS RUSTED AND HAD A FIST SIZE HOLE IN THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE SUBFRAME. THE VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY AT A KIA DEALERSHIP. THE SERVICE MANAGER SAID THE SUBFRAME NEEDS TO BE REPLACE. HE ORDERED THE SUBFRAME, BUT A WEEK LATER SAID HE IS UNABLE TO COMPLETE THE JOB SINCE MY VIN NUMBER DOES NOT MATCH ONE OF THE VEHICLES THAT HAVE BEEN PART OF THE RECALL. I'M WAITING TO HERE FROM KIA CORP. TO DETERMINE IF THE VEHICLE WILL BE INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THE CAR IS SAID TO BE UNSAFE TO DRIVE BECAUSE THE RIGHT TIRE HAS BUCKLED IN. *TR
