1 Windshield Wiper/washer Linkages problem of the 2001 Kia Motor Sportage

Failure Date: 08/08/2002

I have had problems with the car since I brought it. The windshield washer doesn't work, the mirrors don't work, 2 blowouts, the chambers that hold the spark plugs needed to be replaced, it needs a complete brake job, I have trouble when I put the car in drive. How can I complain to the dealer I think I brought the lemon of the bunch?.

2 Windshield Wiper/washer Linkages problem of the 1999 Kia Motor Sportage

Failure Date: 02/23/2000

While driving with my windshield wipers on in the rain. The driver side windshield wiper suddenly flew off the window and rested on the rearview mirror. After having the wiper inspected it was caused by a faulty linkage system slowly causing the wiper to screw while in use. Even after screwing the wiper back into place the wiper just laid there after turning the wipers back on.
