Consumer Description

THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED. I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND WAS TURNING ONTO AN OFF RAMP AND THE CAR HAVE PUT A LOUD SCREECH AND ALL THE LIGHTS FLASHES ON AND THE CAR DIED. IT WOULDN'T TURN OVER AND I HAD TO GET IT TOWED TO MY HOUSE BECAUSE IT WAS A SATURDAY. MONDAY I CALLED KIA AND THEY SAID HAVE IT TOWED TO US AND WE WILL LOOK AT IT. THIS HAS BEEN A RECURRING PROBLEM SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR JUST LESS THAN 2 YEARS AGO. LAST TIME IT WENT TO KIA IT COST ME $1500. THIS SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER THE ENGINE WARRANTY OR NATION WIDE LAW SUIT THAT'S GOING ON.
