Description of the problem | Mechanic at a gas station told my mil she needed a new rear axle. When i checked the axle i found the top left stabilizer bracket was badly rusted. I took the car to the local kia dealer to get a recall repair. This should never happen to a car with only 60k miles. The dealer has not completed the estimate. The car is not drive-able. There should be a recall |
