| Description of the problem | I purchased my 2012 kia sedona on 8-11-2018 & found out that they sold me a vehicle on the recall list. I said there was a safety issue on a recall list & after battling cancer & an 8 month survivor, i don't want this vehicle that could cause my demise. When i attempted to return to the kia dealership here in daytona beach, fl, they said when i drove it off the lot i would lose thousand dollars towards another (safe) vehicle. I feel this was wrong not only to sell me an unsafe vehicle, but for me to lose $ on another vehicle is wrong. Please call me on my cell#[xxx]. [xxx]. Thank you for your help.
