safety of the vehicle] results in a condition that is likely to cause death or serious bodily injury if the vehicle is
driven AND the nonconformity has been subject to repair two or more times by Kia or its agents AND the buyer or
lessee has directly notified KIA of the need for the repair of the nonconformity; OR
•The same nonconformity has been subject to repair 4 or more times by Kia or its agents AND the buyer has
