general problems of the 2007 Kia Motor Spectra

The contact owns a 2007 kia Spectra. The contact stated that after refueling, the vehicle stalled and the check engine warning light illuminated. The contact mentioned that the vehicle was restarted and the failure had occurred once before. The vehicle was taken to the dealer. The technician diagnosed that the fuel canister and fuel valve needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was not contacted. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure and current mileage was 68,000. The VIN was not available.

2007 kia Spectra's engine dies after I fill it up with gas, but will be fine after I've used some gas. I don't top off my gas so that cannot be the problem. I find it very dangerous to drive my vehicle when it dies during rush hour traffic. I have taken it to a kia dealership but they said they do not know what the problem is after they ran tests on it. My Spectra wasn't giving the kia dealership mechanic any problems so after having my car for almost 1 week they gave it back to me and told me to take my car back in to them if it should happen again. Well it happened again, so I plan on taking it back in tomorrow morning ASAP!.

On Feb 25, 2009 my husband was driving the 2007 kia Spectra smelled strong odor of gas pulled car over on side of road opened hood and the motor was on fire called 911. Car was a total loss.

On may 26, 2008, I purchased a 2007 kia Spectra at carmax, which is located at 11335 atlantic boulevard, jacksonville, florida 32225. Several months later I discovered that the vehicle was not of satisfactory quality, because while driving the vehicle would shut off without advance notice. The vehicle would shut off at the stop light, driving on the highway during rush hour, pulling into my driveway, or after making turns. These occurrences have placed my life, my family members; as well as, the general public in danger on numerous occasions. I am driving an unsafe vehicle that is clearly un-roadworthy. The vehicle was serviced on seven different occasions by ¿specialized kia technicians¿ to no avail. Work was performed by technicians from camden (georgia), brunswick (georgia), and jacksonville (florida) kia dealerships they have yet to identify or successfully repair the vehicle. I am dissatisfied with the service I have received thus far. I have already attempted to resolve this problem by contacting representatives from the corporate office via telephone, contacting thomas j. Folliard, ceo of carmax, via mail, contacting kia customer service in addition to contacting kia corporate office via telephone. I have exhausted all administrative avenues. I have enclosed copies of my records, receipts, in addition to pertinent history and contact information for your review. Unfortunately, the problems remain unresolved. As I am sure you can relate; I rely on my vehicle for transport. Each attempt made to repair the vehicle has caused a significant inconvenience.
