Description of the problem | My antenna shark cover came off during washing it is a problem with this shark cover. The owner of the car wash told me this and so did the collision center at the repair place. It is going to cost almost 400. 00 to repair this and i think kia should have a recall on these due to the fact that the screws holding the shark on is breaking off. The consumer should not have to pay for this. I saw 2 others while i was at the repair place. I do have a report from the car wash and the other says the video shows that her employees did not touch or hit the shark. |
