Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Ditto on all the other electrical problems listed at this site. engine stalling while in motion, sluggishness, either revved up so high you think its gonna blow to not idling at all and cutting off. my left turn signal chassis even flew off while on the interstate please lets take action. we do not need a death to make kia hear us. we could all send a certified letter to mr. peter butterfield, kia motors america, 9801 muirlands blvd, irvine ca 92618. we could reference in response to his interview to automotivenews.com about kia wants to grow up. it is written in this article how he wants kia to be known for quality and safety. i want him to know that we can't drive our kia's for fear of our lives and no one at kia is responding to our complaints. here is a sampling of referenced article: peter butterfield wants kia motors america inc. to achieve toyota-level quality scores in five years. he also wants to evolve from being a used-vehicle alternative to a purchase linked in the consumers' mind to value, safety and quality. (end of sample) if he really wants this to happen, he will take our problems seriously and do something about them. let's make some noise! thank you. *ak
