Description of the problem	Takata recall: driving the car down a city street when it suddenly ceased to accelerate. The power steering stopped as it coasted into a side street to get off the busy road. I could smell wires burning as a electrical fire. I immediately got myself and family out of the car afraid it was on fire. The inside of the car filled with electrical smell and smoke. I called the 360 kia to have the car towed to the dealership since i bought a "gold" warranty when i purchased the vehicle they literally lost my car for six days and then called me wanting my service records stating the car had no oil in the motor. This is a outlandish lie! My car had plenty of oil in it ... I never saw a engine light come on indicating that i had motor problems nor did i smell oil . This was a "sudden " malfunction. My car never ran hot nor did my gauges ever indicate a problem. I had the car for right at 40k miles and had a oil change due again at the end of april.
