| Description of the problem | The lower control arm in my vehicle broke while i was driving in a parking lot. I got the vehicle to coughlin kia in newark ohio. They are trying to charge me for an alignment, a stabilizer, and a tire. The control arm that broke is a recall, and all the things that they are charging me for need replaced because of the control arm breaking. I believe that if the part that broke caused the other damage to the three parts stated above, it should be included in the replacement of the recall. I was told, by a coughlin kia associate that the reason that i am being charged is because there was no preventative maintenance to my vehicle by a kia dealership. It has only been months since i have purchased this vehicle from finks, in s. Zanesville, ohio. I would appreciate any help in solving this matter. Thank you for your time. |
