Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH ON THE HWY I HEARD A LOUD BANG AND THE CAR RAPIDLY DECREASED SPEED. I MANAGED TO PULL OVER TO THE SHOULDER AND THE CAR WAS LEAKING FLUID FROM THE DIFFERENTIAL AND WOULD NO LONGER GO. WAS TOWED TO A KIA DEALER WHERE THEY DETERMINED THE REAR AXLES SHEARED OFF AND PUT A HOLE IN THE DIFFERENTIAL. CAR HAS 64,00 MILES AND NO PERVIOUS ISSUES OR WARNING THAT ANYTHING WAS WRONG.
