Engine was making a noise and fowl odor from vents took to kia dealer after a wk they didn't know the problem said it was safe to drive back to las vegas from calif once we arrived we called local dealer they replaced engine so they said. Then 2 wks later we get it back I began having site throat cough and severe headaches and later told my husband I thought it was gas I was smelling in the car we took it to the dealer they looked at it and said it was fine so we leave to calif and the following day I went to…
I was traveling on city street at 35 miles per hour when engine has stalled suddenly, without any warning. I lost power steering and barely made it to the side of the road moving by inertia. I was very lucky there was no car behind me and I was able to stop safely. If there would be other traffic situation, such problem with the car could possibly result in fatal accident. The car was towed to grossinger kia dealer in lincolnwood, il
