NHTSA Complaint #11611103 — 2024 KIA TELLURIDE

Kia has failed to remedy this in a timely manner. From the day I called to schedule when I received recall, appt was 3 weeks out. Kia then cancelled the appt and when I asked why they said they needed VIN to order part which I provided and they rescheduled the appt. I showed up for appt and they said they needed to look at car for which part (which they were to order a week prior when I provided vin and recall info). Stated it would be a week and they’d have the part and it fixed. Now are saying they have no clue when they can get us in and are not telling us if they have the part or not. This is our only vehicle and cannot drive it as it states it can catch on fire parked or while driving. I have two small children, one with medical needs. We need our vehicle and when I explained this to Kia Diehl in hermitage the manager laughed in my face. Every time I call it’s a different story. Kia is refusing to fix in a timely manner or provided rentals. I am making my car payment on a brand new 2024 vehicle that I cannot drive without reimbursement or able to receive service for a vehicle that can catch on fire. We have contacted the Kia Diehl parts 3x with no returned call on an update on when the part will be in. We were told today even if they had the part they have no upcoming appts open to fix it.
