Consumer Description

MY HUSBAND DROVE OUR KIA SEDONA EX TO WORK & PARKED IT IN THE PARKING LOT. ABOUT 30 MINUTES LATER, A COLLEAGUE NOTICED THE VAN ENVELOPED BY FLAMES - BURNING SO INTENSELY THAT THE WINDSHIELD MELTED! FIRE DEPT CAME, BROKE WINDOWS, AND PUT OUT FIRE, WHICH THEY NOTED ORIGINATED IN DASHBOARD, BUT TRAVELED THROUGHOUT THE CAR. THE VEHICLE WAS TOTALED, BUT OUR INSURANCE (ALLSTATE) DIDN'T REALLY OFFER US ENOUGH TO SUFFICIENTLY REPLACE IT. WE HAVE APPEALED TO KIA. WE LOVED OUR SEDONA BEFORE THIS HAPPENED. *TR
