Author: U.S. ARMY SOLDIER!!!!!!!!!!!!! (KIA KILLED IN ACTION)
Subject: KIA AKA KILLED IN ACTION

LISTEN TO ME THIS IS A DIRECT ORDER!!!!! DON'T BUY A KIA, DON'T LET THEM LIE TO YOU ABOUT THE NEW MODELS. THIS PLACE NEEDS TO BE ON THE OFF LIMITS LIST FOR SOLDIERS. I WAS A OWNER OF A 1998 KIA SEPHIA AND HAD SEVERAL ROUTENE PROBLEMS AS FOLLOWS: "IT TOOK THEM 3 YEARS TO FIGURE OUT WHY I WAS SMELLING FUEL WHEN I WAS DRIVING.
- STARTER WENT BAD (AFTER THE SECOND MONTH)
- BRAKES ALWAYS SQUEAKING (EVEN AFTER JUST GETTING THEM DONE AT THE KIA DEALERSHIP..AND THEY WILL TELL U SOMEHTING LIKE OH THERE JUST NEW PADS IT'LL STOP.. THAT'S BS IT WON'T
- FUEL LEAK (I WAS SMELLING FUEL WHILE I WAS DRIVING AND THEY COULDN'T FIX IT OR FIGURE OUT WHAT WAS WRONG SO FINNALLY AFTER 3 YEARS A SERVICE SHOP IN COLUMBAS GA FOUND OUT THAT THE FUEL FILTER WAS CLOGGED
- HEAD LIGHT FOGGED UP (BE PREPARED TO BE TOLD THAT YOU'LL NEED TO REPLACE BOTH OF YOU HEADLIGHTS FOR ABOUT 200+ EACH)
-EMERGENCY BRAKE WOULDN'T WORK (BUT HERES THE KILLING PART I TOOK IT TO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AT THE KIA DEALER 4 TIME AND THEY SAID THAT THEY WOULD ADJUST IT BUT IT STILL DIDN'T WORK! AND IF YOU DIDN'T KNOW.. IN THE MILITARY WE HAVE TO HAVE CAR INSPECTIONS.
-ENGINE LIGHT STAYED ON.. (IF YOU DON'T LEARN ANYTHING ELSE PLEASE READ THIS PART.. ALL THEY'RE GOING TO DO FOR YOU ENGINE LIGHT RESET IT WITH THEIR COMPUTER, AND CHARGE YOU ABOUT 100+ DOLLARS YOU CAN DO THIS YOURSELF BUY UNPLUGING YOU POSITIVE BATT. CABLE FOR 5 SEC. THEN HOOKING IT BACK UP.
- COULDN'T DRIVE OVER 80MPH (THE VIBERATION WAS LIKE THE IMPACT OF A IED IN IRAQ)
- LIGHT BULBS GO OUT ALOT (FOR EX. MY BRAKE LIGHT BULBS, AND HEAD LIGHT BULBS.
- DELAYED START (THE CAR WOULD HAVE A FALSE START ALOT AND I WOULD HAVE TO ATTEMPT TO START IT SEVERAL TIMES.
THE LAST PROBLEM IN WHICH I HAD WITH MY KIA WAS THAT IT WAS OVERHEATING. THE COOLENT MOTOR WENT OUT AND THE FAN FOR THE MOTOR WAS CRACKED.. SO I WAS CHARGED $355.00 TO GET MY KIA FIXED. WHEN I PICKED IT UP AND DROVE IT HOME IT STARTING OVER HEATING AGAIN! SO I TOOK IT BACK AND GUY TOLD ME THAT IT WOULD COST ME ANOTHER $500.00 TO FIX IT BECAUSE THE FUSE BOX WAS CAUSE THE MOTOR TO BURN OUT. SO MY ME BEING A US ARMY SOLDIER AND A TRUCK DIRVER I KNEEW THAT THEY SHOULD'VE HAD FOUND THAT PROBLEM WHEN I'D FIRST BROUGHT IT IN THERE AND I WASN'T ABOUT TO PAY ANOTHER DIME. THE GUY ALSO TOLD ME THAT HE WASN'T MIND READER AND THAT HE DIDN'T KNOW WHAT WAS WRONG WITH MY CAR. SO I TOLD HIM THAT I WASN'T A MILLIONAIRE AND I WENT THERE AND PICKED UP MY KIA/KEY AND TRADED IT IN FOR A HONDA CIVIC 2007 AND THEY GAVE ME $500.00 FOR IT. HOW NICE OF THEM! LOL
