NHTSA Complaint #11405702 — 2015 KIA SOUL

THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR OVER A YEAR AND WE HAVE TAKEN IT TO A KIA DEALERSHIP A TOTAL OF 4TIMES. FIRST TIME THEY DID A DIAGNOSTIC AND ALL IT SHOWED WAS IT WAS LOW ON OIL. 2X WE HAD TO TOW IT TO THE KIA DEALERSHIP. WE WAS ON A HIGHWAY GOING UP THE SMALLEST OF INCLINES AND IT STARTED TO SPUDDER AND LOST COMPLETE POWER. IT WAS TOWED TO OUR HOUSE THEN WHEN WE REALIZED THAT THERE WAS RECALLS WE TOWED IT TO KIA. TOLD THE PEOPLE ABOUT THE RECALL ON IT AND THEY JUST CHANGED THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER AND GAVE IT BACK ABOUT A MONTH OR SO LATER IT STARTED TO DO THE SAME THING AGAIN LOSING POWER UP HILLS AND SPUDDERING.. TOOK IT BACK UP THERE ALL THEY DID WAS CHANGED THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER AGAIN AND AFTER HAVING IT A MONTH OR SO THEY GAVE IT BACK TOLD ME TO DRIVE IT 1000 MILES AND BRING IT BACK TO THEM. MY PROBLEM IS THE CAR ISN'T SAFE FOR ME TO DRIVE AND NOW I AM AFRAID OF IT STARTING ON FIRE. I DON'T WANT THIS CAR ANYMORE THERE ARE 2 MANY ISSUES AND I'M JUST NOT COMFORTABLE WITH IT. WE HAVE PUT 20,000 DOLLARS INTO A CAR THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE 10,000. I HAVE A FAMILY AND ANIMALS I WILL NOT PUT IN THIS VEHICLE.
