Description of the problem | I took my car in after smelling fuel and they said there was a tear in my fuel line and it needed to be replaced. My car was included in the recall but kia would not pay for the repairs because when they previously reviewed for recall issues they said there was no issues found. I attempted to contact kia and they did not get back to me. |
