I own a 2000 kia Sportage and I have been smelling gas over the last couple of months. The dealership is telling me that my car is not on the recall list, do you have any suggestions?.
Brakes not working properly. ,when you step on brake you can feel the brake or tire spending and your car is still rolling when your are stepping on the brake. Engine, turning the car engine on and off. When you start the engine the engines clicks but does not start. Its not the transmission. I have replaced the battery several times but still the same problem.
2000 kia Sportage notice gas fumes, gas leaking and under seat the top plate is letting out raw gas fumes to make you sick. I did research an seen a recall sc059 my care is doing the same thing called kia customer service she gave me a case number gave me the phone number to the kia dealer she said couldn't drive car have it towed, have jake sweeny to diagnose if this is doing the same problems the old recall did for them to call her and she would ask her dist mgr to let this car be fix. My brother is handicapped and he called the dealer and he ask for the VIN number and said there was no recall. We know there is not one at this moment but for him to look at this car because of it causing a life threatening problem. I have case number from kia just need to get the dealer to look at the car the fumes are making him sick and now the chance of the care blowing up. Please help ASAP. Mileage on car 85,520 I think kia needs to fix all these cars I have looked on the web and there are other people having the same problem I believe there are more VIN numbers out there with this same problem that kia is overlooking until someone gets hurt. Thank you please investigate and issue a new recall or reopen the old one. Thank you.
My 2000 kia Sportage has been leaking gas. We haven't had it repaired, as we cant afford it. Someone suggested looking for recalls, that's when I found this site. The "heat shield" (?) has always rattled badly. In addition to the rattling and bad gas leak, the motor blower fan is not working, my 4wheel drive isn't working. Underneath it is a rust bucket! the back doors wont lock/unlock. Something really needs to be done!!! please, someone stand up for the little guy and make kia fix these problems!!!.
2000 kia Sportage. Noticed an odor of gas upon exiting vehicle, but no visible signs of a leak. No odor of gas when inside vehicle. Have noticed higher gas consumption, stuttering ,and stalling. Fear of possible fire. I will take vehicle to dealer to have it properly diagnosed. Read that there is a recall on the 2005 models, but no recall on 2000 models with same symptoms. Ak.

I proceeded to pull the vehicle off the road barely had enough power to move it out of traffic. . . Running very very rough at this time .
