Description of the problem | We had an electrical issue with the car and it was towed to a dealership a couple hundred miles from home. There the dealer noticed the bracket that holds the rear end on had rusted away and it was leaking fluid. The car has around 45,000 miles on it and i feel that an issue like this should have been a recall as i have since found is a common problem and was recalled in europe for the same thing. My daughter could have been killed. This car has been in a kia dealership 3 times so far this year for an oil leak issue and they should have mentioned this issue. The warranty ran out in may after the last visit up to this one. The dealer even said there could have been a fire. |
