Jordan's dad, Robert has uprooted his life in Oklahoma to take care of Jordan is Hawaii, where he's at the Straub Burn Center. In the midst of a nightmare situation, he was also shocked to learn that this was far from the first time Kia has had issues with spontaneous fires.

There have been hundreds of reported cases across the country of non-collision fires involving Kias, prompting recalls for older 2012-2016 models, but not the newer 2019 models. The Soul the Carltons rented only had about 4,000 miles on it at the time.

The family has filed a lawsuit against both Kia and the rental car company. "There was no way in the world that they should have rented Kias at all and I think it's going to be pretty hard for them to stick their head in the sand as say we had no reason to know this," their lawyer Richard Fried says.

Fried says the next step in the lawsuit will be November, when representatives of Kia, national investigators, and the law firm's own experts will be in Hawaii to inspect the burned Kia. Fried says Kia might then consider expanding the recall if it finds that this was connected to the issues involving the other fires.
