Oil filters made by any other company than kia does not work. I had to get an oil change twice because the one done by the car lot was not a kia oil filter and the one I had done was not a kia filter. I took the car to a kia repair shop the next day and they cleaned the area and changed the filter. The brakes since I bought the car have been screaching and at that time, a brake repairman advised me my brakes wore at 95%. The brakes still screach and grind. In the summer, the air conditioner gives off a foul odor to the point of having to turn it off. The rear middle seatbelt does not latch. The steps listed in the kia manual does not coincide with the steps you must take to defrost the windows. The only way I can is to turn the heat up all the way, or to turn on the heat and air conditioner, which I can't use. The car when it's in drive feels like it's in a lower gear at times and feels like it's not quite in drive. The seams in the driver's door allows water drip into the car. The windshield washer hole on the right side doesn't sprew out any windshield cleaner. I had to take the car back to the car lot beause of the gas door not opening with the indoor gas latch. The outside of the front hubcaps gets very oil and no one can tell me why. The window's resist when you try to roll them up.
