Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: March 17 2001 is the date that i purchased my kia rio since then i have had nothing but multiple problems. my biggest complaint is the transmission it jerks between gears and shakes horribly when i go over 50mph. every time i have taken it in they tell me there is nothing wrong. i have a friend who also has the same year and model car as i and her engine has blown up twice. i have never been so afraid to drive a vehicle. *ak
