This resulted in the rear of the vehicle swaying side to side and being difficult to maintain in a straight path.  This vehicle was previously serviced under KIA Campaign SC141 (internal subframe corrosion) at Griffin KIA on April 27, 2017.  Despite this safety remedy being performed the subframe rotted through and snapped.  This is a remedy failure.  The anti-corrosion was applied by the manufacturer failed to prevent the exact structural failure it was designed to mitigate.  I have physical evidence (Repair Order #92144) proving the remedy was performed and photographic/video evidence of the subsequent structural break.  The manufacturer (KIA) has denied assistance, claiming the failure is \"unrelated\" to the corrosion campaign despite the part being the exact component covered by the campaign.\"  SC141 involved the inject of wax into the metal components of the subframe of the vehicle and was KIA's response to the NHSTA's concerns about the metal components of their vehicles being unable to withstand salt in the Rust Belt states.  The campaign only was for the vehicles in the rust belt states.    KIA was very aware this was a safety issue and attempted to avoid a recall by issuing this campaign.  The campaign failed and as a result my life was put at risk.  I asked KIA for a good will repair of the rusted subframe but they refuse indicating the believe the part that clearly broke due to rust is unrelated to the safety campaign.  Several of their employees stated it was very clear the part broke due to rust with one indicating he had a list of rusted parts needing replaced.  I'd like the NHTSA to review this failed campaign and ensure the safety of all vehicles relying on this failed safety measure.","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2013","productMake":"KIA","productModel":"OPTIMA","manufacturer":"Kia America, Inc."}]}]}
