Description of the problem	I am sending this complaint in regards to complaint #11317148. On march 09, 2020 i filed a complaint about a possible recall issue to my 2015 kia optima. I contacted kia motors @800-333-4542 case #[xxx] spoke with [xxx] about the issue on march 16, 2020 and [xxx] on march 17, 2020 and the response was that premier kia lufkin texas said i decline to have the power steering fluid changed which was they decline to replace the steering column under any warranty, so i decided to pay the $1298. 00 on june 09, 2020 to have premier kia lufkin texas to replace the steering column for my safety and my family. I also contacted kiaparts. Com about where to locate the power steering reservoir and received a email on may 27, 2020 from [xxx]at hansomotors parts department informing me that my 2015 kia optima have an electronic power steering. There is no pump or reservoir. But like i say for safety issues i paid the $1298. 00 to replace the steering column. My question now is have there been any recalls for this issue that would warrant me a refund of $1298. 00 the amount i paid premier kia on june 09, 2020? I would also like to receive updates on any and all recalls concerning my 2015 kia optima. Thanks. Sincerely, [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S.
