While driving on the interstate, kia caught on fire. We got off interstate at our stop and a car started honking. As we didn't know car engine was on fire. We pulled into a parking lot and got out. The fire department was called. No one has looked at it to see what happened. Fire dept stated vehicle probably can't be fixed. We see there was a recall on 2007 vehicles. This is a 2007.
The stop lamp switch was recalled & mine was replaced in 2010, but the part they replaced it with was faulty also and Iâve been driving without brake lights for years without knowing it. Then when I contacted KIA escalated customer âservice,â they double-talked and gaslit me.
