KIA REPLACED THE BATTERY AND SAID IT SHOULD BE FINE NOW BUT IT STARTED DOING IT AGAIN! WENT IN FOR A RECALL ON MCC AND ENDED UP DOING OTHER RECALLS THAT I NEVER RECEIVED! NOW, THE PROBLEM IS WORSE! FUSES ARE BLOWING! I HAVE BEEN TOLD THEY CANT FIND THE PROBLEM TO THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR! BASICALLY, I AM UNDER THE ASSUMPTION THEY CANT FIND IT UNTIL SOMETHING REALLY GOES WRONG. WELL, IT HAS! THE LOSS OF POWER IS TEN TIMES WORSE! I FEAR FOR ANY LIFE WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN OPERATION! THIS IS MY FIRST CAR AND I AM A YOUNG FEMALE!
