Suspension problem #1

My struts we’re going through my dash board and I had it repaired and my engine light is just constantly on.

Suspension problem #2

Failure to accelerate,jurking,stalling while driving on highway. Was told there a rack and pinion tie rod system needs to be replaced and steering pin. Car does deceleration, oil burns up in a week.

Suspension problem #3

The vehicle experiences major engine performance issues following a replacement engine installation (approximately 8,000 miles on the new engine). Additionally, the catalytic converter is malfunctioning, the steering exhibits significant pulsation during braking, and the suspension system is malfunctioning. These combined defects create an unsafe driving condition and pose a serious risk to the driver, passengers, and other motorists.

Suspension problem #4

When I bought my car in 2018, I didn’t like the way it drives. I had to take it back the next day to return it, but the dealer in north aurora gerald kia said they wouldn’t take it back & I paid cash. I’ve been taking it back and forth from gerald north aurora to bob rohrman in schaumburg IL. They have been been telling me every time, there’s nothing wrong. I’m hearing several noises in the suspenion. So finally I told bob rohrman dealer to check everything before my warranty runs out. So far nothing didn’t happen until after my warranty. So I paid for 4 tires, front brakes, rotors. They finally said that I needed an arm control & a strut, with low mileage, but im steady hearing noises. I know know what to do. After I paid cash & had start going to find out what’s wrong with my car, the service dept was never friendly or professional. I always was told there’s nothing wrong with my car and that I know better. I’ve been driving since 17 yrs old and I’m 68.
