The undercarriage of the vehicle fell as I was driving down the highway. Yes it is available upon request. My safety was put at risk because part of the undercarriage piece started to rip and go underneath my tire. The problem was inspected by a dealer. The component has not been inspected by anyone else. There were no warnings prior to this occurring.

Purchased new Kia K5 LXS few months ago. Originally warning lights appeared on dashboard. At first windows would come down intermittently. Now my windows won't come down at all. My headlights flicker and turn off at night. Car sounds like it's powering down at times. Contacted dealership a number of times. Alerted dealership of problems and concerns via phone and during service. Met with indifference and treated like they hadn't talked to me regarding latest concerns. This shouldn't happen to any vehicle especially when purchased brand new.

While I was driving on the interstate, I heard and abnormal about of noise coming from the engine bay as well as a scratch while I was driving. This happened on March 26, 2021 at 10pm. On March 29, 2022 I took it to the dealer ship and I was notified that my engine cover came off and was the cause of the noise. There's damage to my driver side fender, rubbing to the wheel/tire and my fog light housing is hanging.

I was traveling at approximately 40-45 mph, another vehicle crossed in my path, and I broadsided his vehicle. I am not sure of my speed at impact. I would guess 30 mph. Airbags did not deploy. The rear drivers side seat also came unlatched, folding itself down. There were no other passengers in the vehicle.
