One problem related to trunk wiring has been reported for the 1996 Kia Motor Sephia. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
The first wiring harness that was ordered for this car on 10/29/02 was defective. They ordered a second one. I went to pick up my car they say was ready and everything is working. Before I drove off the lot I noticed my door ajar light on. However all of the doors were closed including the trunk. So tomorrow I am taking more time off from work so they can install a third wiring harness. I have taken off 2 days 3 hours so far. The nearest dealership is about 45 miles away. I only have that one car. The car was towed over there the last time because the gear shift would not move. With all the complaints that I have seen tonight on this web site you would think they would call a recall. I will not rest until someone takes responsiblity for the car that has been in and out the shop every since I had it. Dt.
