Consumer Description

KIa informs me that my Hydralic Electronic Control Unit may short circuit and cause an engine fire. Don't park close to anything. "WHEN THE REMEDY PART IS AVAILABLE, KIA DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE HECU FUSE." If it's just a fuse, why have I had to park my car outside at risk of winter weather, vandalism, and theft, for the past month and a half? I hesitate to operate a vehicle which may blow up. I therefore do not have use of my car. And KIA is taking ENTIRELY TOO LONG to fix this recall. I get no help from their Consumer Relations people; their basic reply is "it is what it is; we're working on it." Well, if you were fined a thousand bucks for each day my car is out of commission due to your defect, I bet you'd find that fuses pretty darn quick. I am completely disgusted with KIA over this unacceptable length of time to address this issue. Total fail.
