KIa Soul Lemons Recalled

Kia Motors America Inc. is recalling approximately 209,000 Soul and Soul electric vehicles because a portion of the cars’ accelerator pedal has the potential to bend and fracture if the driver applies excessive force, according to recently filed documents with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. The agency acknowledged the recall in a Wednesday letter to the automaker, saying the defect in certain model year 2014-2015 Soul and Soul electric vehicles causes the accelerator pedal to bend or break, which can cause drivers to have difficulty in accelerating the vehicle and subsequently increases the risk of an automobile accident.
Dealers will add a supporting rubber underneath the pedal stopper on affected vehicles. The recall begins March 24 and affects cars manufactured between July 2013 and January of this year.
