NHTSA Complaint #10852156 — 2011 KIA SOUL

WHEN IT RAINS THE FLOORBOARDS FILL WITH WATER (LITERAL PUDDLE) FRONT AND BACK, MAINLY ON THE DRIVERS SIDE. I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE NEW AND HAVE BEEN THE ONLY OWNER, I DID NOT NOTICE THE ISSUE UNTIL AFTER THE MILEAGE WARRANTY HAD SLIGHTLY EXPIRED. I CONTACTED THE DEALER ONCE I NOTICED THE ISSUE AND THEY OF COURSE WANTED $$$ TO EVEN LOOK INTO THE ISSUE. IN RESEARCHING FOR A RESOLUTION ON THE INTERNET THIS APPEARS TO BE A VERY COMMON ISSUE WITH THESE VEHICLES. THE MAIN CONCERN IS HEALTH SAFETY AND POSSIBLE ELECTRICAL ISSUES THAT CAN RESULT FROM SO MUCH INTERIOR WETTING. I HAD CONTACTED THE DEALER AGAIN (BILL BYRD KIA PANAMA CITY FL) TO ASK IF THERE WAS ANY NEW INFORMATION CONCERNING THIS ISSUE AND SPOKE WITH AND ALLAN AND A CHRIS AT THE SITE AND WAS HUNG UP ON BY BOTH INDIVIDUALS.
