I got a car loan on it and a week later I received a recall letter and. Kia never repaired it I told the bank and car lot and they demand more money from and I should them that they were informed about this before I bought it and they repo my car and still left me on the dmv records stating I have the car and forcing me to pay the loan and is triple my payments

I was involved in an accident where I was rear ended and then smashed into the vehicle in front of me. The air bags did not inflate and the seat belt did not lock in place. I was traveling on a highway. My vehicle was in motion at the time of the accident. There is an active recall on the Kia and it was part of the recall.
