Engine and engine components caught fire while driving. This put my husbands life at risk and could have caused harm to other drivers if he was driving on a busier road. Car fire could have completely engulfed the car and caused harm or even death. Fire department was called to assist with extinguishing the fire and to ensure that further danger did not persist.
The fuel injectors get stuck open causing the engine to flood with gas. One was diagnosed as faulty by moritz kia in hurst texas in october and they replaced it however they only replaced the faulty one l. Today a second one was diagnosed as faulty. So 2 out of the 4 fuel injectors were faulty on a car that's not even a year and a half old. I plan to replace all the original fuel injectors so it will not be a problem in the future however I believe this part is beyond just a accidentally faulty one.
