“The contact owns a 2022 Kia Niro. The contact stated that a hardwired kill switch was installed in the vehicle, and the switch overheated to the point that the vehicle was unable to operate. An investigation was conducted by the contact, who touched a big box underneath the dashboard. The contact's hand was burned on the fingertips because the box was extremely hot. Water was run over the hand by the contact to heal the injuries, but outside medical attention was not sought. The dealer was notified of the failure and a callback was promised. …”
