Description of the problem	My 2012 kia soul caught fire july 13th with my son driving. There was a ticking in the motor, a loud noise, and then flames. We have the extended warranty but kia says it's an insurance issue and they can't/won't do anything about it. Now, not only are we without a car but we're stuck with payments for the next 2-3 years because insurance says it's not worth half or what we still owe on it. Thank god my son was okay but kia needs to be accountable. *js
