| Description of the problem | My engine caught on fire ... The fire was started near or around the fuel rail/ or injectors. I researched kia recalls and other years and other models of kia's were part of a similar risk. I feel that this was a huge safety risk.... Luckily my car engine caught fire very close to my home, and i was able to pull in my driveway and call the fire dept. I was injured in this event.... But the burn was minor. I am most concerned with kia acknowledging the huge safety risk.... And the loss that i and others could experience with this safety issue. My vehicle was in great shape before this engine fire. |
