Consumer Description

I WAS TRAVELING ON A HEY, MAKING A LEFT TURN ONTO A MAJOR HEY, WHEN MY CAR WOULD NOT EXCELLERATE. I WAS ABLE TO TURN OFF THE HEY BUT MY CAR WOULD NOT GO OVER FOUR MILES PER HOUR. I HAD IT TOWED TO MY MACHANIC, HE SAID THE PRONGS BROKE OFF THE THING THAT PLUGS INTO THE COMPUTER, DUE TO CORROSION. SO I HAD IT TOWED TO KIA. THEY SAY I NEED A NEW COMPUTER & IT WILL COST, $5000.00. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL. WHY CAN'T THEY INSTALL A NEW PLUG & PLUG BACK INTO THE COMPUTER? I'M BEING RIPPED OFF!
