2014 Kia Optima Structure

SHARK FIN ANTENNA SNAPS OFF, ONLY 4TINY SCREWS HOLD IT ON

MY ANTENNA SHARK COVER CAME OFF DURING WASHING IT IS A PROBLEM WITH THIS SHARK COVER. THE OWNER OF THE CAR WASH TOLD ME THIS AND SO DID THE COLLISION CENTER AT THE REPAIR PLACE. IT IS GOING TO COST ALMOST 400.00 TO REPAIR THIS AND I THINK KIA SHOULD HAVE A RECALL ON THESE DUE TO THE FACT THAT THE SCREWS HOLDING THE SHARK ON IS BREAKING OFF. THE CONSUMER SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY FOR THIS.I SAW 2 OTHERS WHILE I WAS AT THE REPAIR PLACE.I DO HAVE A REPORT FROM THE CAR WASH AND THE OTHER SAYS THE VIDEO SHOWS THAT HER EMPLOYEES DID NOT TOUCH OR HIT THE SHARK.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 KIA OPTIMA. WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH, THE SHARK FIN FELL OFF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO KIA OF ABILENE (4702 SOUTHWEST DR, ABILENE, TX 79606) AND STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT ON THE RECALL LIST. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED, BUT DID NOT ASSIST. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 63,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. *TT

THE ANTENNAE FALLS OF, IT SNAPPED. IT IS ONLY PLASTIC AND IT LEAVES COMPONENTS EXPOSED TO THE ELEMENTS WHICH MAY CAUSE A FIRE IN THE ROOF. ALSO IF IT SNAPS OF WHILE DRIVING IT COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT TO THE CAR BEHIND YOU. THERE ARE MANY OF THESE OUT THERE THAT HAVE COME OFF. THIS SHOULD BE LOOKED INTO, THEY ARE ASKING ABSORBENT PRICES TO REPAIR .IT HAPPENED WILL PULLING OUT OF A PARKING LOT.
