Hagens Berman Sobol Shapiro Investigations

Kia Optima

Date Started: July 6, 2009

Hagens Berman Sobol Shapiro is investigating claims of sub-frame defects in the Kia Optima manufactured between 2001 and 2005.

The law firm is investigating claims that the sub-frame lacks corrosion protection and drain holes that can lead to premature decay.

The sub-frame sits under the engine between the front wheels, serves as the sole steering support for the vehicles, and anchors front suspension. Reports indicate cars with sub-frame corrosion may experience high levels of sub-frame deterioration, steering control arm separation, and steering loss, which can lead to accidents.
