THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START BACK UP. THE CRUVE WAS SITUATED IN SUCH A MANOR THAT IT WAS UNSAFE TO TRY TO PUSH IT INTO THE SIDE AS IT WAS A STEEP DITCH LEAVING THE VHICLE COMPLETELY DISABLED IN THE COMPLETE DARK. EVEN WITH THE FLASHERS ON OTHER MOTORISTS INCLUDING A SEMI TRACTOR TRAILER NEARLY CRASHED INTO THE DISABLED VEHICLE MULTIPLE TIMES. WHILE ESCAPING THE DANGEROUS SITUATION ON FOOT I NOTICED THE MUFFLER WAS EMMITING SMOKE AND A STRONG ODOR. I WAS ABLE TO RETAIN THE SERVICES OF A LOCAL TOWING COMPANY TO PROVIDE IMMEDIATE EMERGENCY RESPONSE WHERE THEY HAD TO USE MULTIPLE UNITS WITH CONES AND AMBER LIGHTS AND FLAGMEN WITH STROBES TO SET UP A SAFTEY ZONE TO PROTECT ONCOMMING MOTORISTS WHILE THEY CLEARED THE IMMEDIATE SAFTEY HAZARD. THAT WEEK I HAD A LOCAL MECHANIC SHOP CHECK ON THE NO START CONDITION. THEY REMOVED, CHARGED, AND BENCH TESTED THE BATTERY FINDING IT TO PERFORM AT AN ACCEPTABLE AMPERAGE. UPON INSPECTING THE NO START CONDITION FOUND THE MOTOR TO BE LOCKRD. THEY NOTED AN INCOMPLETE SAFTEY RECALL UPON CHECKING THE VIN AND ADVISED THE VEHICLE NEEDS TO GO TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER FOR RECALL SERVICE. AT THAT POINT THE VEHICLE WAS PUSHED INTO AN OUTDOOR STORAGE LOT AND THE KEY RETURNED PENDING TRANSPORT. I TALKED TO A LADY AT THE KIA DEALER IN [XXX] WHERE IT WAS MENTIONED THEY ONLY HAD 2 TECHNICIANS AND IT WOULD BE A WHILE TO GET IT LOOKED AT, SO I CALLED THE NEXT CLOSEST DEALER WHICH IS [XXX]. ON THE PHONE THEY TOLD ME TO BRING THE CAR FOR RECALL INSPECTION. INSTEAD OF PROCESSING THE RECALL THEY TEXT ME MENTIONING DIAG FEES AND COSTS AND TRIED TO GET ME TO TRADE IT IN INSTEAD. I FEEL DUPED HAVING IT TOWED THERE FOR RECALL BASED ON THERE WORDS JUST FOR THEM TO TRY TO GET ME TO TRADE IT IN.
