Consumer Description

MY VEHICLE WAS EXPERIENCING SEVERAL ISSUES CAUSING THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TO TURN ON. I TOOK THE VEHICLE FOR RECALL REPAIR TODAY AND ALL TROUBLE CODES AND ISSUES RESOLVED THEMSELVES. I BELIEVE THE ELECTRICAL ISSUES ALSO CAUSED FAILURE OF THE AIR CONDITIONER COMPRESSOR THAT HAS BEEN REPLACED TWICE AND IMMEDIATELY BURNED UP. THESE ISSUES HAVE COST $500+ TO ATTEMPT TO REPAIR AND I BELIEVE KIA SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE DUE TO FAULTY WIRING. KIA DENIES THE ISSUE IS RELATED, HOWEVER, RESOLUTION OF MANY ISSUES UPON RECALL REPAIR TELL ME THEY ARE WRONG.
