Dear sir: kia Sephia 1998 has several other problems which never been reported. My car (VIN# [xxx]; 52,000 miles) has (1) an oil leak from the engine head (valve cover) gasket, which can potentially create a fire, and it has (2) very pure air flow on the windshield which reduce my driving visability due to fog accumulation inside of the wiendshield. Both conditions are very dangerous and may lead to a car crash. Please inform kia manufacturing corporation that these deficiencies should be fixed for free. Thanks! sincerely, [xxx] [xxx] [xxx] updated 07/26/2012.
