Consumer Description

On [XXX], I went to charge the car at the Katy Mills location in Katy Texas. After fully charging the car, I went to visit my sister's house to visit. When I returned to the car it had completely shut down. I would not start and none of the electric components worked. I had to have the car towed to Westside Kia, who offered no assistance with a loaner car. I called three days later and was informed by Sabestian that the ICCU had blown out and the part is on National back order. There are three people in my home who are disabled and two young children who has to be driven to school. Upon further research about this ICCU unit, there is a total of 48,323 Affected Units and Kia Corporate has offered no assistance in buying this car back although it is still under the manufacturer warranty. If anyone can assist me with information on how to best handle this situation, I would highly appreciate it. So far I have paid over 2,000 in car rental fees, in lieu of my medical situation. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
