Description of the problem	I purchased my kia in april of this year. A few weeks after the purchase i noticed a burning smell. I pulled over to investigate but could not find where the smell was coming from. I continued to notice the smell after the first incident and there was no pattern to cause the smell to happen. I brought the kia in for service to find the problem. Kias mechanic said they could not duplicate the smell and they couldnt find the problem. I insisted something was wrong and asked them to search farther. I got another call from the mechanic saying they couldnt duplicate the smell and to basically bring the car in if its actually smoking or on fire. I contacted the corporate office and after their investigation i got a call saying based on the dealerships report they couldnt determine a cause for the burning smell and the case was closed. I have 3 kids 2 in car seats. My self and others continue to smell the burning. Iam terrified everytime im in the kia. I feel i was sold a death trap and kia doesnt care. I feel they wont do anything until the car is literally on fire and then it will be too late.
