| Description of the problem | I purchased a kia soul in 2012 (2013 car) and a month later was in intensive care for 5 days with mysterious symptoms. (i am a healthy woman and take no medications.) over the next 2 years i still had problems but they lessened. For the past 6 months, i have had no symptoms. Last month i purchased a kia soul 2015 and in the following week i was back at the er, again, no diagnosis whatsoever. Since then i have had similar symptoms. Putting the dates together, i then researched kia soul for toxicity, and it is the top car for high toxic levels. Is this not an important safety issue to be on your website? I am shocked that so little is known about this, but the sources i researched are most reliable. Kia soul is a dangerous car. |
