Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING MY 2014 KIA SOUL IN THE FREEWAY WHEN THE CAR STARTED TO SHAKE AND LACKED ON ACCELERATION AND DROPPED SPEED FROM 70 MPH TO 40 MPH, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TURN ON SO I PULLED TO SIDE OF THE ROAD AND GOT THE CAR TOWED TO MY HOUSE. THE NEXT DAY I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP AND FOUND THAT IT'S AN ENGINE ISSUE AND NEED TO BE REPLACE.
