Reported at 27,123 miles, July 2016 CrashInjury

I was driving on the highway and when the vehicle in front of me stopped short my kia would stop I had to swerve to the side of the road to stop. I noticed smoke from the hood so I waited until it stopped and slowly moved into the already slowed traffic and went home park the vehicle and reported to kia but they continue to give me the run around and not offer repairs unless I paid for it
