Any recalls on 2016 and up KIA'S? Should I buy a fire extinguisher?

My daughter as a 2014 Accent with 95,000 miles on it. I decided to do a transmission drain and fill and coolant drain and fill PM for her. If you are considering a Hyundai, beware that you will have a terrible time looking up information regarding part numbers. I even called Hyundai customer service USA so I can talk to a person and get a transmission level plug gasket part number so i can order one on line. After being on hold for over 5 minutes, they could not supply me with a part number. I gave them the VIN# but that wasn't enough for them to find the part number. They suggested I take the car to the dealer so they could see the car. So that is what I had to do. Also, I had to call the dealer regarding the process of checking the fluid level since there is no dip stick. I called two different dealers and got two different answers on how it is done. Very frustrating dealing with Hyundai.

Still no dramas. Only thing I don't like is the brakes and it's vague to drive. The reliability side is a no issue. I like the brakes on the Toyota it's progressive. This thing takes longer to come to a stop. If you know what I mean. Also how it handles speed humps is not as plush.My main issue is the brakes maybe because a year ago I started left foot braking lol. Kia needs to improve the driving feel and brakes on this and i would be happy with it.

I think Toyota is better I recently drove the corolla 2018 model that thing drove magnificent. Heavy steering feel. Car feels planted and the brakes you touch it and it grabs and slows the car down with out much effort. I like that more. More my style and pleasant to drive around town where someone stop abruptly you are confident this thing will stop on a dime.

Would we buy another KIA? NO!! I think we are trading for a Mazda lol.
