Consumer Description

MY CAR HESITATES WHEN I ROUND A CORNER OR TURN ON TO A HIGHWAY ONE DAY A TRUCK WAS BEHIND A 18 WHEELER SCARED ME AND MY PASSENGER. NOW FOR THE LAST FEW MONTHS THIS CAR IS SHAKING ALL THE TIME NOT ONLY WHEN I STOP BUT EVEN WHEN I AM DRIVE KIA IN ATHENS GA SAY THEY CAN NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. THEY SAY THIS IS NATURAL TO HAPPEN . NO THIS IS NOT NATURAL IT IS EMBARRASSING AND SCARY. I DO NOT WANT THIS CAR ANYMORE AND I REALLY DO NOT LIKE PUTTING OTHER PEOPLE LIVES IN DANGER IN A 3 YEAR OLD CAR. I HAVE TRIED TALKING TO THEM -THEY ARE NOT LISTENING THEY KEEP SAYING IT UP TO THE COMPANY IN ATLANTA. IF ANYTHING HAPPEN TO ME IN THIS CAR I TOLD MY FAMILY TO SUITE THE SOCKS OFF OF KIA.
