general problems of the 1997 Kia Motor Sportage

While driving on county road an animal ran out in front of vehicle, it swerved to avoid hitting the animal. Road was wet. Went into a ditch, and neither airbag deployed.

Brakes- excessive braking distance when brakes applied; engine coolant system- vehicle over headed caused vents on dashboard to pop; electrical system under hood- continuous "check engine light" expensive repair bills; engine- shakes like an earthquake, stalls while driving, scared will cause accident/death.
