NHTSA Complaint #10706449 — 2014 KIA SOUL

MY 2014 KIA SOUL WHICH I LEASED FOR 39 MONTHS IN JULY 2014, JUST HAD A RECALL FOR A FAULTY GAS PEDAL THAT MAY FRACTURE UNDER EXCESSIVE PRESSURE. ITS GREAT THAT I AM GETTING THE PROBLEM FIXED FOR FREE BUT I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED IN KIA AND THE MAIN REASON I CHOSE KIA WAS BECAUSE THEY ARE ONE OF THE SAFEST CARS OUT THERE. I HAVE A FOUR YEAR OLD DAUGHTER AND I CHOSE KIA BECAUSE OF HER AND WANTED HER TO BE SAFE WHILE WE WERE DRIVING. TO LEARN THAT SINCE THE DAY I LEASED MY CAR WHICH IS ALMOST A YEAR AGO, I WAS DRIVING MY DAUGHTER AROUND IN A CAR THAT COULD HAVE POTENTIAL CAUSED HER INJURY OR WORSE IS VERY DUE TO MY GAS PEDAL BREAKING IS ALARMING TO ME, MY DAUGHTER IS THE MOST IMPORTANT AND PRECIOUS THING TO ME IN MY WHOLE LIFE. I DO NOT FEEL THAT FIXING THE GAS PEDAL FOR FREE IS ENOUGH AND THAT SOMETHING MUST BE DONE TO MAKE UP FOR ALL THE TIMES I WAS DRIVING MY DAUGHTER IN A VEHICLE THAT I THOUGHT WAS VERY SAFE WHEN IT WAS NOT. I WOULD LIKE PERMISSION TO GET OUT OF MY LEASE SO THAT I HAVE THE FREEDOM TO GET ANOTHER VEHICLE THAT IS SAFE FOR MY DAUGHTER. ANYONE WITH KIDS SHOULD KNOW EXACTLY HOW I FEEL AND WILL SYMPATHIZE WITH MY SITUATION. *TR
