Description of the problem	Was driving wife to work , stopped at light when light turned green i pushed the gas pedal and i heard a bang so loud i thought someone hit us from behind. I drove car home and looked under it and i couldn't believe it ! The rust on the rear end brackets and the two bars connected to them were totally rusted through and hanging off. I went to the kia dealer where i originally bought the car and asked them about it they said they never heard of that problem. I told them there are hundreds of complaints on the internet about it ,they told me don't believe everything you see on the internet. Then they said that it's not a kia problem it's a road salt problem. I told them nothing else under the car was rusted that bad , and i believe it's a design problem. They said there is nothing they can do, so now i have a car with only 83,000 miles on it that is too dangerous to drive. This problem had to have started way way before 83,000 miles to have gotten this bad.
