Soul

While driving on the freeway, last month mid to late Feb, My steering wheel started spinning in one direction, . The control arm on the right side of the vehicle came off of the car's right front wheel and I skidded to the side of the road at approximately 65 to 70 miles per hour. Fortunately, there was not an accident. The control arms were replaced and there were no further incidents. Regardless, given the multiple engine recalls and problems with the Kia Soul 2019 2.0 plus, I have no confidence in it's integrity to the safety standards set. This is not only related to the car, but mostly due to the behavior of the company in its continued efforts to otherwise resist compliance with engine replacement after my mechanic both viewed rod bearings seeing they may impose some risk.

Wall triana hwy madison was being paved on Wednesday 2/27/19. They had sprayed some type of liquid tar on the road for prepping. My car is covered with the black substance and I am unable to get it off. It has covered my rear window and back of car. It is also on my side door panels and under my vehicle, tires and rims. This is a brand new car.
