Consumer Description

NINE RECALLS FROM KIA AND VERY DANGEROUS. RIGHT WHEN I THINK KIA CANT GET ANY MORE DANGEROUS WITH 2013 KIA OPTIMA AND BEING UNLUCKY ENOUGH TO OWN THE WHITE PEARL MODEL WITH PAINT THAT IS DOWN TO THE METAL, LAST RECALL AIRBAGS, SEATBELTS ECT. THIS LETTER TAKES THE CAKE. OUR RECORDS SHOW YOUR VECHICLE IS AFFECTED WITH PART WE DO NOT HAVE YET BUT “ PARK YOUR VECHICLE OUTDOORS AND AWAY FROM STRUCTURS AND OTHER VECHICLES CAR ENGINE CAN CATCH FIRE DRIVING OR PARKED. SHOOT FORGET ABOUT US IT GOES ON TO SAY IF YOU BURNING MELTING SMELL WHILE DRIVING PULL OVER AND REMOVE KEY EXIT CAR TO SAFE LOCATION..WELL KIA THANKS FOR THE HEADS-UP HOPE WE MAKE IT OUT OF CAR AND WOW YOU WILL SEND LETTER WHEN PART COMES IN..TERRIFYING LETTER BUT, LOVE THAT YOU CARE MORE ABOUT PARKING AWAY FROM STRUTURES, OTHER VECHICLES OUTDOORS UNTIL YOU CAN GET THE PART. BAD ENOUGH PAINT IS ALL OVER THE ROAD CHIPPING OFF. Guessing don't have to worry about that right now knowing I can catch on fire even when it is parked. NOTHING TELLING US NOT TO DRIVE JUST MAKE SURE IF WE CATCH FIRE TO GET OUT! YOU WERE CLEAR ABOUT PROTECTING STRUCTURES AND OTHER VEHICLES. WORST COMPANY AND DANGEROUS COMPANY. TELL YOUR NEIGHBORS COWORKERS FRIENDS DO NOT BUY A KIA. UNTIL NEW CEO AND ACCOUTABILITY THIS COMPANY CARES LITTLE ABOUT LIFE OR LOSS. MANY OF US ARE JOINING CLASS ACTION SUIT. NHTSA GOV DO YOUR JOB HOW ARE YOU LETTING THIS COMPANY BE SO CARELESS ARE YOU NOT PAYING ATTENTION TO THE 1000 of complaints and fear on this model and company? EVENTUALLY, THIS WILL ALL BLOW UP AND LIFE WILL BE LOST MORE THAN SHOULD BE ALREADY.
