The New York Times reported last month that Kia Motors Corp. was recalling more than 96,000 vehicles in the U.S. and Canada because of a suspension part that can break, causing drivers to lose control of the vehicle.

According to the Times, the recall affects Sedona minivans from 2006 through 2012. The vehicles were reportedly sold or registered in Canada and in 20 U.S. states and Washington, D.C., where salt is used to clear roads in the winter.

The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) reported that the vehicles’ lower control arms, near the wheels, could rust and break due to salt exposure. Kia said dealers would begin inspecting vehicles this month and would replace them for free or rustproof them.

In addition to the Kia recall, there were two other vehicle brand recalls in the news recently. Toyota is reportedly recalling 9,800 cars that have an electrical short that can cause the windshield wipers to stop working. According to the Associated Press, Toyota is recalling the 2013-14 Camry and Camry Hybrid in addition to the 2013-14 Avalon and Avalon Hybrid and the 2014 Corolla.

Porsche also announced the recall of 207 Cayennes from the 2014 model year, including the diesel and hybrid models, because fuel sensors may read high, according to the Times.

Automakers and auto part manufacturers need to be held liable when their defective products falter, costing consumers money and time. This can be done through a class action lawsuit, allowing all consumers who have been affected to receive compensation.

If you have questions concerning your legal interests when it comes to a potential class action lawsuit, please contact Gary S. Graifman, Esq., of Kantrowitz, Goldhamer, Graifman, Perlmutter & Carballo, P.C., at 1-(866) 971-0927. You can also send us an email or fill out the contact form on our website.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. KGG Law, and Barry Kantrowitz in particular, set the bar high for what a thorough, practical, strategic, compassionate and smart lawyer can be. Everything about Barry's advice and representation was exemplary and the stress mitigation that resulted was invaluable. On top of that, the ultimate result Barry achieved was beyond what was reasonable to expect and we are forever grateful. Often, people say that you hire a lawyer to prevent a problem. Sometimes, unfortunately, you need an attorney to solve a problem and I could not recommend Barry and his firm any more highly in that regard.

From the very beginning, the team was professional, knowledgeable, and always willing to answer our questions. They kept us informed throughout the entire process and made what could have been a very stressful situation much easier to handle. We truly appreciated their dedication, honesty, and hard work. Thanks to their support, my dad felt confident every step of the way. We are very grateful for everything they did and would highly recommend this firm to anyone looking for reliable legal representation.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Kate Carballo is a dedicated, passionate, and creative attorney whom I had the pleasure to lecture with at a state trial lawyer's conference. Kate's lecture demonstrated how she uses her innovative and "out-of-the-box thinking" to achieve outstanding results for her injured clients. That Kate is certified by the Supreme Court of New Jersey as a civil trial attorney is a testament to her skills, experience and commitment to excellence.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Was referred to KGG law by a friend and could not have asked for better legal representation. They walked me through every step of the process after my accident and began every call with “ how are you feeling” which was just one example of how much they care about their clients. They handled my case very efficiently, professionally and courteously. My attorney Kate Carballo was a rock star! So clearly experienced, she consistently made me feel at ease with the process. Highly recommend

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had a great experience with the team at KGG Law. While it was a traumatic time for our family, they made it very easy for us and explained all of our options. They even performed due diligence to make sure that after our settlement, there would be no further issues which I think is even more important than the settlement itself. Thank you!
