Consumer Description
ADDENDUM TO COMPLAINT ON KIA MOTORS,KIA AMERICA, CITRUS KIA , THEIR SELL OF FIRST A BRAND NEW 2015 KIA SOUL,NOW RECALLED 5 YRS LATER AFTER WE BEGGED FOR HELP. WE ARE 2 DISABLED PERSON S WHO WERE DUPED BY KIA AND CITRUS, TRADED IN GOING INTO FURTHER DEBT AFTER GETTING NO WHERE WITH NHTSA, KIA ETC. KIA MOTORS TRADED AND FINANCED A BRAND NEW 2018 KIA SPORTAGE ONLY TO HAVE DANGEROUS PROBLEMS WITH IT. KIA KNOWINGLY SOLD US 2 DANGEROUS VEHICLE S, WE HAD THE KNOCK SENSOR INSTALLED PER THE "UPGRADE", FARCE, SHOULD BE RECALL. THE CAR STALLED IN TRAFFIC AND ANOTHER DEALERSHIP PUT IN A WIRING HARNESS EXTENSION. WE ONLY HAVE 13,000 MILES ON THIS CAR BECAUSE WE DO NOT FEEL SAFE. THE DEALERSHIP DID AN OIL CHANGE LAST YEAR AND DAY BEFORE YESTERDAY. I RECEIVED A TEXT THAT OUR FUEL NEEDED ADDITIVE. IT IS IN " FAIR CONDITION", RECOMMEND WITH EVERY OIL CHANGE. NOT TRUE, NEVER RECOMMENDED BEFORE AND 13,000 MILES. IT SHOULD NOT NEED ADDITIVE ANYWHERE. SEE ATTACHED SCREENSHOT. I FULLY BELIEVE THEY ARE COVERING UP EVEN MORE AS IT RELATES TO THE PROBLEM IE SETTLEMENT? SERIOUSLY. OUR CAR IS WORTH NOTHING. I IMPLORE OUR NEW HEAD OF TRANSPORTATION TO LOOK INTO OUR COMPLAINTS SINCE 2015 TO INCLUDE THE INQUIRY BY SENATOR MARCO RUBIO. JOSEPH AND JULIE MRAZ ♿ KIA SOUL 2015 TO KIA SPORTAGE 2018. BLACK BOOK VALUE, RESALE VALUE, INSURANCE PREMIUM INCREASE, HOW MANY TIMES WILL KIA BE ALLOWED TO STEAL FROM US ?. THIS IS DANGEROUS ON AND OFF THE ROAD.
