Front Seat Belt Anchorage Problems of Kia Motor Sportage

The seatbelt on my 2000 kia Sportage on the driverside always opens. I feel this is very dangerous if I was ever involved in an accident. I do not trust the saftey belt will hold me if I ever had an accident. I weigh only 125 lbs. *ea04007*.

Since purchase of vehicle I have had problems with cel coming on and staying on, I have had problems with clutch, the belts, and recently the emission systems, each time I go in the people at the dealer ship act like I am doing these things on purpose and this last time they told me that my warranty had expired. And that it would cost 1,000 dollars to fix. I was out raged.

Help!! I have tried for 6 weeks now to contact kia with little success, after a month of trying a factory tech finally came out to look at my car and did confirm some of the problems, including the random accelration, he promised to contact me within 4 days and it has now been 3 weeks, I have left messages and faxes with their consumer affairs dept and as of yet have received no response. These are some of the problems I have had: transmission replaced 3 times, 4 trans has problems, rear shocks broken - manuf. Refuses to repair, seatbelt randomly disengaged, front right door continually jammed, catalytic converter came loose, engine randomly reves and accelerates, engine would not idle at all, engine idles roughly, motor fan broke loose and embedded in radiator, power mirrors switch defective, dome light inoperative, left rear door very stiff, hub caps falling off, wind shield motor defective, antilock brake sensor defective, right rear window defective, ect. . . .

Front windshield has air leaks & at high speeds the wind is annoying. The front passenger seat belt locks into place as soon as the passenger clamps into place. One doesn't have to press brake peddle for it to tighten around person. When driving and particularly engaging the clutch to down shift the gear linkage disengages and the gears can't be located especially in second, third or fourth gears and because of such has almost caused three crashes. We had this checked by the dealer and they said they found nothing wrong with the gear shifting mechanism. I beg to differ because I drive that car every day and I've driven many manual shift transmissions cars and I believe that after driving for sometime (I. E. , one to two hours) the transmission heats up and causes problems with gear selection.

Left front seat belt anchor belt cover came off.

The seat belts needed extensions to fit properly and the dealer is unable to resolve it. Yh.
