Description of the problem | Driving this car high speeds (freeway) for longer periods of time (30 minutes or more per day) for more than 3 consecutive days affects my overall health and ability to drive the car. It get chronic headaches, trouble concentrating, sleeping problems, dizziness, forgetfulness, exhaustion, and anxiety which affect my reaction time and alertness while driving, and ability to make proper decisions in traffic. There was no accident, since i discontinued driving the car as soon as i became aware of the problem. I also went to a doctor who confirmed that i am sensitive to the battery of the vehicle (see attached). I contacted the manufacturer but they are not willing to help. I had the car serviced at the local kia service dept., but they say the battery is working properly. |
