general problems of the 2005 Kia Motor Spectra

Vehicle speedometer randomly quits. Also dash lights on binacle. Then will come back on after a day or so, have replace with genuine kia oem parts but still happens. Also looked on forums online and seems to be a common occurrence.

Speedometer and odometer not working well it works the first time in the morning when I drive after I turn car off and go to drive again it will not work the entire day. Recently I have meet someone with exact make and model with the exact same issue literally as I described the other person who I did not tell about the problem word for word describe the same problem. Also when speedometer isn't working the cruise control also will nitwork. I have replaced input and output speed sensor , wheel speed sensor and the speed sensor which wires back up to instrument cluster and nothing has fixed the issue.

The contact owns a 2005 kia Spectra. While driving approximately 45 mph, the speedometer, fuel gauge and temperature gauge were providing inaccurate level readings. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer for diagnostic testing or repairs. The approximate failure mileage was 77,000.

The contact owns a 2005 kia Spectra. The contact stated that the speedometer was malfunctioning and would read that she was traveling 50 mph after coming to a complete stop. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who was unable to diagnose the failure. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 73,000 and the current mileage was 108,000.

Window controls would not work intermittently. Vehicle was taken to a kia dealer who refused to do repairs, stating they only do oil changes on weekends. Dealer would not provide rental car for repairs to be made during the week. At this time, the electrical system was still under warranty. Repairs were never made. As of 5/5/2014 windows will only open occasionally.

: the consumer stated while driving at 40 mph on normal road conditions all warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer and they made the repair without determining the cause of failure. At the time of the incident the vehicle had only 52 miles. At 14000 miles the failure repeated and the dealer made the repair for the second time. On 1/19/06 the warning lights illuminated again but this time the engine shut off and could not be restarted. The vehicle was towed to the dealer.
