| Description of the problem | On 3/21/19 i was driving through a ez pass toll plaza. I heard a very loud sound almost like an explosion coming from the front passenger side of the car. My car started to vibrate. I pulled to the side to check out the car. I thought my tire blew. There nothing wrong with the tires. There was nothing around or in the lane of the toll plaza. I could not identify the reason for the sound. I did smell an odd order in the car. I was able to drive the car without any further problem. A few weeks later i heard a squeaking sounds when driving. Recently i took the car to kia and was accused of the car being in an accident. I explained to them the incident and stated that the car was never in an accident. I was advised by kia to contact my insurance company to repair the issues. |
