The original battery failed at 2 1/2 years and the replacement battery (kia battery) failed after only 1 1/2 years. I have replaced the headlights (4 times), fog lights (2 times), tail lights (2 times), and license plate light. Electrical system check showed no problems that could be causing all of these failures.

I had a 1 year old battery replaced, which was defective (non-kia dealer). Afterwards, I noticed that the air bag warning light was illuminated. Kia dealer said it was due to a bad sensor ($300 part, $300 labor). It was too expensive for me to pursue correcting. I told the dealer to forget the repair.

While driving on Saturday, 7/15/06, I noticed a high pitched noise while steering. I was under the impression that the power steering fluid was low. After having an oil change and capping off my fluids, the noise continues and remains while driving. It is loud enough to hear over the radio and the air conditioner at the same time. I have placed this car in the shop for numerous repairs since its purchase in 2003 and have spent countless amounts of money on various problems, including replacing the bulbs, repairing the braks, the check engine light coming on immediately after purchase, the air bag sensor remains on and the list goes on and on. I have placed numerous complains to kia directly as well as filed a compliant with the better business bureau to no avail. It would be my assumption that kia will only be concerned about fixing these issues or recalling these vehicles only after some serious incidents have occurred.
