Description of the problem	On jan 2nd, my ecm module went out on my car. This part kia tells me is recalled for 15-18 days- today is jan 15th- there is no part- they tell me this is the part engine computer module that runs the car. All lights came on in my car, and i could not accelerate more than 10 mph with the car. Took it immediately to a repair shop. It's on back order because so many optimas in my year are failing this part. In the interim, i am without a car- my car is stuck in satellite beach at boniface kia in melbourne, fl i live 140 south in west palm beach and i have no assistance from kia. They have no real answer on getting this part or eta on when i can expect my car back. I do not have any documentation yet- the servicing was all scheduled through devon's automotive in satellite beach at 321-773-6412. They just informed me today that on jan 14th boniface kia called them for my car as they found a part locally but the part was defective.
