KIA RECALL

Well you all! Kia and Hyundai have royally screwed up, You all should read up on your recall from 2010 on up there is more than 3 million recalls. Check your recalls out there is no fix to this one yet and it is a safety recall on top of that, the car can catch fire or blow up, I got a recall card that says park your car away from structures and other cars. Cant get it fixed there is no remedy, They say to take it to a kia dealer so they can do what. say they fixed it to get your car back and itnot be fixed

Don't buy over 100k

I would recommend this car, As long as it's not over 100k miles. Had no problems until about 115k. After that... issue after issue after issue. Had to replace the hybrid battery (2k). Some other big problem. And then the car was still cutting off on me. Started become dangerous.
