I mirror odi id number 10010713 - failure date March 17, 2003 almost to a "t"!he differences are. . . I have been back to service department at least 10 times for the same repair. Now 31,000 miles. I have been offered a rental once. Service manager and shop foreman have driven car themselves to make sure repair is ok. Fine for a day or so, then happens again! so. . . Never really ok! this vehicle is unsafe with this unresolvable (to date) problem. My wife and 4 year child have been passengers alone (and with me in the vehicle) when this happens. The last time an 18 wheeler was running up her back when this happened. Very life threatening. Kia manufacturer's response has initially been "I'm sorry. " we can only offer to repair the problem. 10 times is more than sufficient to fix a problem. I want a new vehicle or to take the car back and 'wash' the entire loan to $0. 00. I bought a new car so I would not have issues like this occur. Like oid id number 10010713 states, "I just want a car that works. ".

My 2002 kia started leaking transmission fluid, I went to kias repair shop four different times in three different states and the problem still exists. After the fourth time of being in the shop the one dealership told me that I have a bent or dented drive shaft, even though I have only had the vehicle for six months. And I have never hit anything, taken the vehicle off road or ran over anything to dent or bend this drive shaft. The dealership notified me this was an impact problem and that it is not covered under warranty and that I would have to replace the drive shaft at a cost of approximately. $800. I just bought the car six months. Ago and I don't feel I should be liable for damages that were not caused by myself. My doors also lock by themselves repeatedly and all four dealers said they fixed the problem but they still lock by themselves. The engine runs like the car is about seven or eight years old.
