Consumer Description

A Unknown component has failed with the vehicles fuel system. The service center at the Kia Dealership was unable to clear the associated Check engine light after numerous attempts. This is the Third time I tuned in for this same reason. The First time they attempted to resolve by replacing O2 sensor. After a Few weeks the Check engine light returned. Then I was told it was my Spark plugs. After one trip from dealership to home the check engine light appeared again. I returned to service center and it has been there for over a Month. Kia corporate scheduled a Tech to come and Assist with the problem. I am deeply concerned that my safety may be at risk for a Faulty fuel system that may fail while I’m in route to work. I work for the Utility 74 miles away from home and I am an Essential worker to the great city of New York. I support the Transmission cable systems reliability and respond to emergency directly with this Vehicle. I am requesting assurances that I will not be the first of many in a future realized safety recall. The Company has had Many most recently with these kind of fuel system failures if my memory serves me right.
