Kia failed to notify me that I was sold a Lemon Car, leading to this life-threatening incident. The steering wheel and gas pedal became unresponsive, and my brakes stiffened, making it extremely difficult to stop. I feared for my life and safety as I struggled to pull over. After parking, I smelled fumes and saw fire under the hood. I called 911, and emergency services arrived to extinguish the fire.  As a result, I now have respiratory issues from inhaling fumes, migraines from hitting my head, and a pulled muscle from forcing the locked steering. I have been unable to seek medical care due to the financial burden of renting a car, which has cost me $1,083.74 so far, using funds intended for rent.  I contacted Kia on October 9th, 2024, but they delayed their response until October 15th. Since then, they have continuously prolonged the process, now saying it will take over a month and a half. Kia also failed to notify me of a recall related to this issue, which I later discovered on my own.  I am requesting immediate action from Kia, including reimbursement for my rental, vehicle replacement, and compensation for medical expenses. Kia's delays and lack of concern for my safety and well-being are unacceptable.","products":[]},{"odiNumber":11621129,"manufacturer":"Kia America, Inc.","crash":false,"fire":true,"numberOfInjuries":1,"numberOfDeaths":0,"dateOfIncident":"10/05/2024","dateComplaintFiled":"10/21/2024","vin":"KNAFW6A30D5","components":"UNKNOWN OR OTHER","summary":"On [XXX] , my 2013 Kia Forte SX Koup caught fire while I was driving on the tollway.
