In July 2023, Kia identified a defect that can increase the risk of an engine compartment fire while driving; namely that the printed circuit board in the hydraulic clutch actuator may become contaminated with fluid and lead to an electrical short circuit. To date, there is still no remedy available. I am filing this complaint for your assistance in ensuring the company provides a remedy within a reasonable time.

This recall specifically says my car it's a fire risk because of this recall. I have the HEV warning light on in my car on just as described in the recall notice but no Kia dealer wants to repair my car until the recall notice has a remedy from corporate. It's been over 2 months and still no actual recall remedy found. My car is still a fire risk with the HEV warning light on and the same kia dealerships don't want to fix my car due to no remedy. This is insane! Why did I buy this car? I spent 19k dollars in this car and right now is completely unusable. I would like my money back but it's too late for that. I'm going to contact a lawyer now since the company has identified a recall problem but it's not fixing it. I'm hoping the NHTSA can help me somehow. I'm giving my lawyer a copy of this complaint as well.
