Consumer Description

MY ENGINE CAUGHT ON FIRE ...THE FIRE WAS STARTED NEAR OR AROUND THE FUEL RAIL/ OR INJECTORS. I RESEARCHED KIA RECALLS AND OTHER YEARS AND OTHER MODELS OF KIA'S WERE PART OF A SIMILAR RISK. I FEEL THAT THIS WAS A HUGE SAFETY RISK....LUCKILY MY CAR ENGINE CAUGHT FIRE VERY CLOSE TO MY HOME, AND I WAS ABLE TO PULL IN MY DRIVEWAY AND CALL THE FIRE DEPT. I WAS INJURED IN THIS EVENT....BUT THE BURN WAS MINOR. I AM MOST CONCERNED WITH KIA ACKNOWLEDGING THE HUGE SAFETY RISK....AND THE LOSS THAT I AND OTHERS COULD EXPERIENCE WITH THIS SAFETY ISSUE. MY VEHICLE WAS IN GREAT SHAPE BEFORE THIS ENGINE FIRE.
