Two problems related to engine oil leaking have been reported for the 1999 Kia Motor Sportage. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Dealership replaced front/right and front/left brake rotors and brake pads twice, July 2000 at 15,000 miles and August 2001 at 28,000 miles. Front brake rotors continue to warp, resulting in excessive wear. Vehicle was leaking oil, dealer tightened drain plug. Vehicle would not start due to an internal starter failure. Evaporator drain hose was damaged and was causing water to leak on the floor.
Automobile has been stalling ever since consumer has had the automobile. Mechanic keeps saying that they are fixing the problem, but it does not stop vehicle from stalling. Vehicle has been to dealer repeatedly for this problem as well as others (air flow wiring, air conditioning, oil leak, dome light, turn signal, thermostat).
