I opened the hood of my vehicle and discovered the vehicle\u2019s coolant reservoir was empty which led me to believe there was a coolant leak. I took the vehicle to be inspected and diagnosed by an independent repair shop (non-dealership) and it was explained that there was in fact a coolant leak and it\u2019s because the exhaust heater exchanger is failing. This is a serious safety concern because if there is a coolant leak the vehicle\u2019s engine can overheat causing further and extensive damage to the engine which could result in a fire. Based on research, there have been other cases where this particular year/model vehicle has had or is experiencing issues with the exhaust heater exchange failing. This faulty system is causing customers who own the same year/model vehicle that I drive to either bypass the exhaust heater exchange all together\u2014which I don\u2019t believe is safe to do\u2014or customers are being made to pay a huge bill just to repair the faulty system. My vehicle only has 73,000 miles and this is something that I should not be experiencing especially since Kia is aware of the fault with the exhaust heater exchange on these particular year/model vehicles. Kia should be recalling these vehicles with the faulty system for diagnosis and repair as this is a major safety concern on the road not only for the driver, but also for other motorists as well.","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2017","productMake":"KIA","productModel":"NIRO","manufacturer":"Kia America, Inc."}]}]}
