Consumer Description
MY CAR BROKE DOWN LAST WEEK, AFTER GETTING IT TOWED TO THE DESTINATION, LOW AND BEHOLD IT IS THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER. I HAD TO REPLACE THE CAT, AND AM NOW WORRIED THAT MY ENGINE, WHICH IS BURNING OIL CAUSED BY THE CAT DAMAGING THE ENGINE WILL CATCH FIRE, AND I WILL NOT HAVE ENOUGH TIME TO REMEDY THE SITUATION. I GET BROUGHT ALL AROUND WHEN I CALL KIA, SOME SAY MY CAR IS BEING RECALLED, SOME SAY NO, ALL I KNOW IS MY CAR IS SHOWING EVERY SINGLE SYMPTOM OF THE RECALL, AND I FEEL THEY ARE TAKING AN EXTREME RISK NOT SPEEDING UP THE PROCESS FOR THE RECALL, AND HAVING MORE KNOWLEDGE IF I'M ON THE OBVIOUSLY SIMILAR SYMPTOMS OF THE RECALL OR NOT. PEOPLE HAVE DIED FROM THEIR NEGLIGENCE, AND THIS WAIT GAME IS GIVING ME EXTREME ANXIETY AND MAKES ME SCARED TO COMMUTE TO WORK.
