I reviewed the Carfax beforehand and nothing stood out that scared me so I signed off and purchased the vehicle. I have had nothing but problems since buying which was 7 months ago and have spent 9000 on repairs. I\u2019ve been told by several mechanics the last 5 times I\u2019ve been in and out of mechanic shops it\u2019s evident my car sat in deep water for a long period of time. I finally took it to an electrical auto specialist here in town and while he said it is evident my vehicle sat deep water for a period of time and while the corrosion hasn\u2019t quite started to cause an electrical problem that it very well could down the road. I\u2019ve given the man who owns the dealership and opportunity to make this right however he stopped responding.  I believe that is illegal and I\u2019ve been told it should\u2019ve been a \u201cflood title\u201d. I will know for sure after seeing a I will know for sure after seeing an attorney this week. That was not disclosed to me or I would definitely would have not purchased the car. When I first got the car, the locks and windows were going insane flickering all over the place and Kia dealership told me it was quite crazy and nothing they had seen before, however, they were able to fix it. I strongly believe that when my car was flooded it caused something to happen that I\u2019m only going to have to keep paying for overtime. I\u2019m already in debt from the 9000 I\u2019ve had to getting personal loans. This is causing me enormous emotional distress. Please help.","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2016","productMake":"KIA","productModel":"OPTIMA","manufacturer":"Kia America, Inc."}]}]}
