Description of the problem	Hello i am going to be blunt and straight to the point. Your $30,000 vehicle, financed, approved and paid for by me nearly stole my life on jan 16, 2021 : on mile post 46 on i-40, east bound lanes in kingman, arizona at approximately 3:00 pm on what was a beautiful trip through route 66, which soon became a death trap my partner: anthony [xxx], co-financer and signer of this death-trap as well as our two innocent parson russell terriers were nearly burned to death in what could and should have been an explosion like that of the press kia & the likes are being sued for. Numerous innocent lives have been excruciatingly ended due to greed, decite and blatant disregard for life to add to an already gluttonous bank account, as you suck and drain me dry all the while aware of the danger you knowingly make us legally pay for. I filed an extensive report and complaint with kia and now you. My case number is at the beginning of this letter, i suggest b you get a hold of kia customer care, just as i had to after nearly losing my soulmate, dogs and life to be stranded in the middle of a state we hace never been, no money, food or vehicle nyiu just charhed me for. I have provided my case number and i expect all payment to cease and be returned immediately to avoid involvement in this disgusting act of distaste of honesty. I am never paying a penny more for your direct, ignorant and abhorrent yet blatant actions. We were driving on the highway at regular highway speeds.
