Consumer Description

I HAD NUMEROUS PROBLEMS WITH THE KIA WHEN REPORTING PROBLEMS STATED THEY SAID CONTACT DEALER BUT NEVER ASSIST ME WITH WORKING WITH DEALER. ONCE THEY SELL ME THE VEHICLE ITS MY PROBLEM AND WORK IT OUT WITH DEALER. I FEEL WHEN THE AXLE CRACKS ALMOST CAUSING A ACCIDENT AND BRAKES FAIL. ALSO SENSORS FAIL CAUSING LOST OF POWER WOULD THIS NOT BE A SAFETY ISSUES AND BE OF A BIG CONCERN TO KIA. DT
