Complaint Summary
ENGINE
Owner Narrative
Why is KIA still legally allowed to sell defective, death traps? Why is it ok for the service department and KIA themselves to tell meâ¦.its ok to drive unless the engine light is blinking, smoking in a car know to catch fireâ¦..ok? Why is it ok to let them continue to sell cars under active engine fire campaigns, only to âreplace it with the same junk engineâ an ok remedy. Quit letting these companies take advantage of people because they created a multi billion dollar defective product, they should bite the cost and be bankrupt, I mean itâs 2025 and they are still making combustible cars, the right thing to do? 2020 Kia forte gt t1.6
