Consumer Description

THUMPING NOISE AND SENSATION FROM REAR AXLE/SUSPENSION AREA WHILE ACCELERATING FROM STOP OR LIGHTLY ACCELERATING ON LOCAL ROADS. I REVIEWED A PREVIOUS RECALL FOR THIS YEAR AND WHILE MY VIN WAS NOT IN THE RECALLED LIST, THE DESCRIPTION OF THE ISSUES SOUNDS VERY SIMILAR. ALL OF THE VEHICLE MILEAGE HAS BEEN HIGHWAY OR LOCAL DRIVING. VEHICLE IS BEING TOWED TO MY LOCAL KIA DEALERSHIP, GATEWAY KIA, 1425 EASTON ROAD, WARRINGTON, PA 18976
