Consumer Description

THE ENGINE ON MY VEHICLE IS UNDER A RECALL, HOWEVER, I HAVE YET TO RECEIVE A LETTER FROM KIA STATING WHEN I CAN TAKE MY CAR TO THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP FOR ENGINE REPLACEMENT. I AM THE ONLY OWNER OF THIS CAR, AND HAVE LIVED AT THE SAME ADDRESS DURING THIS TIME. I CURRENTLY HAVE OVER 76,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE, AND CONCERNED MY GOOD LUCK COULD RUN OUT. ANY PRESSURE YOU CAN APPLY TO GET THIS RESOLVED WOULD BE APPRECIATED. THANK YOU.
