| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I own a 3 year old kia sephia. it was purchased as a used car from garden grove kia in ca. i bring to kia for all recommended regular maitenance. the last major checkup (30k miles) was less 6000 miles ago. today, while fastening my seatbelt, the screw fixing the bottom part of seat belt to the car frame popped out of the frame. as only minimum force was needed for this to happen (fastening the seatbelt), this problem probably already persisted for month or even since the car was manufactured. if this would have happend in an accident situation, i would be dead now. this is a fairly new car and i take good care of it (following the manufacturer recommended maintenance schedule). such utter failure of crucial security equipment is absolutely inacceptable. please investigate.*ak |
