Engine check light/air bag lights are on. Car will not start, also, there was a problem with the brakes. When applying the brakes, pedal went to the floor, consumer almost had a collision.

Hard starting up vehicle in the mornings, and gas gauge does not read full tank. Also, passenger's side door is broken at the hinges. Had the panel replaced. This will be the third repair.

Was starting to slow down & had pressed brake pedal. Heard a grinding noise. Pressed harder & vehicle was not slowing down. Again pressed lightly & vehicle was able to stop. Took vehicle to dealer & mechanic informed driver owner entire braking system needed replacing. This was the 5th time it happened. Also, vehicle would not turn over when starting. Heard clicking noise. Needed 4 tries to start. Check engine light came on & stayed on.

The first month I had car the ignition/steering locked and needed towing by kia-nothing charged to me. The check engine light has been coming on and staying on shortly after 'repair' ever since I bought car 3-28-1998. I just got "run-around' from western diversified/kia and independent repair shop over axles. Kia told me nothing covered after 36,000 mi. . After I thought I could send in bill for axles to extended warranty instead of calling at the time (male chauvinist mechanic) and after western diversified seeminly indicated axles part of routine maintenance (cv boot-didn't know were going bad) and I couldn't afford $200-300 for dealer to check car earlier-- dealers and kia then say I have 5/60 warranty on engine/trans and now won't cover axles because of independent mechanic touching car and he won't back up his 'warranty'. I just started full-time work not as a temp (but term) with CO I worked 5 1/2 yrs before. All my money is going alternately to car repairs then catch up on car pmts and ins and I still need to move and can't afford to and really steamed and writing to atty general about kia--y2k means yuck to kia.

Engine light comes on and then vehicle stalls out, replaced ignition switch to no avail.

Whenever the brakes (abs) are applied, steering wheel would shake. After going 65mph or better, the entire vehicle would shake/vibrate. The abs brake system was repaired twice. The air conditioner makes loud noises when turned on. Sometimes the vehicle would not start or catch right away. Needs to jiggle key to get it started.
