Description of the problem | My 2014 kia soul could have killed my kids when it blew a rod at 120,000 miles. My 18 year old son was driving (my 21 year old daughter was a passenger) my car in a busy 4 lane traffic in utah when the car lost all power! I am just grateful that my children did not die. I bought this car because kia's are supposed to run forever. I did regular maintenance on my car and now i am looking at $5,000 to repair my car! I called kia headquarters and the only thing i got was treated badly! How could this be my fault? An interesting thing is that a co-worker of mine had a 2014 kia that did the exact same thing at 110,00 miles! She also had to pay the money and kia treated her badly as well. I need help to pay for the repairs from kia it is their fault! |
