At one time engine check engine light went on, it was the fuel injection, then I had the brake pads replaced, not even two months later I had to get them replaced again, thats including the drums, that was because it would vibrate and when releasing the brake it would make a pop sound. After 8 months of having the vehicle the battery went dead one day I had the car towed to the dealership. The car smells like smoke. I had it check because it shifts hard and it hesitates all the time, they told me it was okay.

I bought this car used w/42k miles. I have had the same problem with the tps since 2months after I bought it. I have had it in the kia repair shop 8 times and have spent over $1500. 00 in repairs, towing and rental cars. I have had it towed 3 times. It has had a new computer, new sensors, new distribution center and new circuit connectors installed, in addition to all of the fuel related safety recall parts. I would not recommend this car to my worst enemy. Kia consumer assistance is clueless---this make and model should have been recalled completely! I am in the process of filing lemon law and am completely disgusted with this car, as well as the company.

This first car was to be transportation to work/school but has been nothing but trouble since a few days off the lot. Now it is unsafe and undrivable due to a malfunction that makes the car jerk constantly and stall in traffic. Please, do not buy a kia. It will be a serious waste of resources.

Severe gas fumes.

We have replaced the rotors and brake pads 4 times and the drums once. The car has difficulty starting and taking off. Various problems concerning minor problems, seat cushion , lighter, a/c, gas spewing back out of tank etc. Our major concern is the braking system which started six weeks after purchase and hasn't ended yet. The kia representative is uncooperative.

Fuel injection wiring harness, idle set too low, could no fix it the last time, engine stalls.
