Consumer Description

AFTER GETTING HOME LAST NIGHT FROM MY SISTER IN LAW'S GENDER REVEAL, I SAW SMOKE COMING FROM UNDER THE BONNET SO I OPENED IT QUICKLY AND SAW A FIRE BLAZING BEHIND THE ENGINE....WHEN THE FIRE DEPARTMENT GOT THERE, THEY POINTED OUT TO ME THAT THE FIRE WAS ELECTRICAL..... I NEED SOME FORM OF COMPENSATION FROM THE COMPANY AS I AM NO LONGER ABLE TO DRIVE THE CAR AND ELECTRICAL ISSUES ARE WIDELY AFFILIATED WITH THIS PARTICULAR MODEL OF KIA CARS.
