Description of the problem | "takata recall"while driving this car on the highway i notice noise coming from the front. I've had problem with this same thing since 2012, first the string it would pull left and right on its own while drive straight. Kia said they would fix it. There was a recall on this problem,now my rack and pinion is broken,and that's because kia refuse to fix that problem back in 2012 with the string. Kia sent us a settlement letter , which states they will paid us $531. 95 by means of a check, it states it is understood and agreed that this settlement is a compromise of disputed claims and does not constitute, an admission of liability on the part of kia. We did not sing that letter because kia cars are no good! And there has been recalls since that letter was sent. They tried to black mail us we didn't fall for the scam. The company know this car is no good. If you need that letter sent to you i can do that to. Someone could die because of this problem its dangerous,i work in the mountains this problem needs fixing now not later now!!!. Sincerely, need this problem fix |
