HAD IT TOWED TO THE KIA DEALER JULY 17,2017 WAS TOLD IT COULD BE ONE OF TWO THINGS THE FACTORY SECURITY SYSTEM OR THE ECM SO THE DEALER CHANGED OUT THE SECURITY SYSTEM THE PROBLEM STILL EXIST SO ECM IS NEXT WAS TOLD SORRY THERE ARE NO ECM,S FOR YOUR VEHICLE IN THE US. WILL HAVE TO CHECK WITH THE MANUFACTURE COUPLE DAYS LATER THEY TELL ME IT HAS TO BE BUILT THERE ARE NONE IN STOCK AND THE EARLIEST WE WILL GET ONE WOULD BE AUG.23,2017. TODAY AUG.24,2017 CALLED TO CHECK ON THE STATUS OF THE PART AND GOT A NEW DATE (A PROMISE DATE) OF SEPT.2,2017 BUT THAT'S NOT GUARANTEED ????? THIS CAR JUST DYING WHILE GOING DOWN THE ROAD IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC IS A SAFETY CONCERN AND NO PARTS AVAILABLE FOR OVER A MONTH MAKES ME WONDER HOW MANY OTHER PEOPLE HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS SAME ISSUE. MY CAR HAS ONLY 63000 MILES ON IT. THANKS FOR LOOKING INTO THIS ISSUE AND ALL ISSUES HELPING THE CONSUMERS WHEN THE MANUFACTURES WON'T. THANKS AGAIN.
