Consumer Description

I was driving on a busy 2 lane highway road. The Kia soul lost power and I had to veer to the side of the highway to not b hit from behind. The car behind me had to use their brakes and veer to the next lane which was on coming traffic not to hit me from behind.i had (including myself), 4 woman in the car. We were stranded until a tow truck could arrive. No notice (engine lite), didn't come on until after this safety issue. This happened in august 2022 and couldn't get the car into Kia until today. Sept. 2022. It took one month for this appt. Looking at ur site there has been a recall on 2014 Kia soul but my vin number wasn't listed.
