Description of the problem | This is a resent of a previous report dated 9/25/2018 complaint # 11131590. I received a phone call today 10/1/2018 @ about 3:10 pm from ali sating i should refile. On or about 8/15/2018, 11:45 am i was involved in a car deer accident. A small heard of deer bounded out of the woods from my left, one deer jumped over the hood of the car. I was at a speed at about 40 / 45 miles per hour. I swerved left and hit a tree head on. The car contacted the tree on the inside of the passengers headlight. The air bags did not deploy. I contacted kia of america to enter a complaint. The bottom line here is; kia, a mr. Jeff stroup, a complaint supervisor, has stated that kis has refused to take any responsibility and stand behind their product and help me out with this complaint. In my request to kia i asked them to sent out a response team to recover this vehicle because it is defective, unsafe and a danger to put back on the highway. I told kia that there is no way i'm never going to put my wife and / or our family, children, back in that vehicle. |
