Description of the problem | I bought a 2012 kia optima from autonation in amarillo,tx and i have multiple safety recalls on my vehicle which autonation didn't tell me about at the time of purchase. The recalls can cause a fire and a fatal accident. I've taken it to two kia dealerships and nothing has been done to the recalls. Kia hasn't fixed or replace the safety recalls. I will not have me or a family member die cause the neglect that kia has been doing on my 2012 kia optima" vin# [xxx]". I have filed a settlement claim with kia settlement claim's department "claim #[xxx]". I have taken it to 2 kia dealership's. I've done all of the steps kia dealership has asked me to do and nothing has been done to fix or replace the recalls. I use my 2012 kia for my doctors appointments cause i'm disabled. I lost faith and can't trust this 2012 kia optima that im still making car payments. I need this car fixed before me or one of my family members dies in a car accident from the neglected recalls from kia. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6). |
