 Description of the problemMy 2014 kia sorrento is not being re-called after 403 kia sorrento's engine caught on fire. I understand that the ntsa thinks you should just carry a fire extinguister but that is not the answer. I am not sure that i trust even a recall at this point. As kia and the ntsa argue about whose to blame more cars are being effected. No person life has been taken. Is someone just waiting for someone to be killed to take notice. You should be shameful. Would you let someone you loved drive a kia sorrento knowing that 403 cars have had engine fires? I travel with kids, i travel distances, i travel at night. I am now scared to drive my car for fear of what could happen. It is causing stress in my life. I want something done about this, now my documentation is the evening news with lester holt on july 18, 2018. There was a segment on regarding this issue. No re-call has been issued because no one has decided whose fault it is; a pretty poor excuse. I have called kia headquarters in irvine, ca and asked to speak with the ceo (xxxx) and an waiting for a response. Please do not force me to more public drastic measures.
