Consumer Description

THIS IS A FOLLOW UP TO COMPLAINT # 10819147. AFTER TAKING THE CAR TO THE DEALER I WAS TOLD BY KIA USA IT WAS OUT OF WARRANTY AND WOULD NOT BE REPAIRED, THE REPAIR ESTIMATE FOR PARTS ONLY WAS BETWEEN $1,300 AND $3,000. I HAD INFORMED KIA USA THAT THEY WERE DOING THE REPAIRS I THE UK, BUT APPARENTLY IT DID NOT MATTER TO THEM. FURTHER FOLLOW UP SHOWED THAT KIA IN THE UK PROGRAM ENDS IN APRIL 2016. SINCE THIS IS A DESIGN SAFETY ISSUE THAT IS BEING ADDRESSED IN OTHER COUNTRIES, IS THE NHTSA GOING TO TAKE ANY ACTION?
