| Description of the problem | My son was driving on interstate i-5 near salem, or when his car suddenly stopped and would not accelerate. The car had a 50,000 mile and $1000. 00 service 3 months prior to this incident. I did on line research and saw several instances of kia sorentos stopping suddenly on the highway. Kia offered $400. 00 to compensate our inconvenience but i think the us consumer safety is worth much more. I would appreciate your investigation of this incidence. Thank you, [xxx] the kia representative is [xxx]. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6). |
