I have had my vehicle looked at numerous times since I bought it 3 years ago. There is a odd thumping/humming like sound coming from under the hood or axle area, while driving, at any speed. Nothing has been found. My vehicle shakes occasionally while driving over 45 mph. My air pressure light continues to be on constantly, even after shelling out the money to have the sensors replaced. I always feel like I have flat tires, although they seem fine when I check them. I am concerned for my safety, my children and other drivers on the road while I am driving. I have searched numerous times for recalls and found nothing for my VIN. However, I was told by a dealer that there was a recall for safety campaign (some underbody addl anti-corrosion: sl). I have had my radio head unit replaced as it was glitching when using backup camera. The radio stopped playing through the speakers, although it still showed I had full control over the volume and toggling stations. My phone would connect via bluetooth but I was unable to use it. I feel my vehicle is part of many recalls that have previously affected and are currently affecting many kia's and would greatly appreciate it if it can be added to the list so I can have a safe vehicle to drive around for my family. Below I put my last service date as when it started happening, again it happened just shortly after I bought the vehicle in 2016.

I bought mt 2001 kia Sportage in 2003. It was a 2 door automatic soft top. The problems with the car started within months. First the "hold" light would come on and then while driving the care would stick in one gear. I could not slow down with out it stalling once the gears got stuck. I took it to the dealer, and the replaced the transmission. This did not fix the problem b/c it still happens even to this day and every place I take it to says that there is no problem. In 2005 everything started going downhill. The power windows dont work the cd player eats you cds and I get no reseption on the radio. Not to mention the seat belt light comes on all the time and continues to flash and beep even with your seat belt is on. The pasenger seatbelt does not stay clasped. The car will shut off while driving if I turn on the air. The air only blows on your feet. My car shakes violently it I go about 50 mph. The car makes a wierd chattering noise while driving. And the brakes have locked up for no reason. All of these things I have stated are true and I have taken my car to the dealership numerous of times and seem to get it "fixed" but something else happens before the month ends. I have had my car in the shop for more than 3 months total, and it still doesnt run properly. So far I have had the tramission replaced, the electrical harness, the master and rear cylinder(2x), wheel barring, alternater, started , batteries(4x),air vents, ad many other thing but I cant keep track of everything that goes wrong with this car. Im a college student that has a very limited income, and I cant wasted any more time and money dealing with this car that should last longer than I is. My first car was better tha this one and it was made in the 80's.
