Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Had kia since 11-2002, had to take back to the dealer over 10 times within the first month. had brake problems, engine light would come on and stick shift would not go into gear easily. dash board has started warping because it is not glued together. the steering column also comes apart. dealer says it is suppose to do that. had taken it to mechanic who informs me that eventually my dashboard will warp all the to the airbags. now i am afraid that airbag will deploy while driving and cause an accident. then i found out that there was a recall on the back brakes because they were leaking, and i was never informed and had to pay to have my brakes fixed myself. i have talked to the home office of kia and everybody refuses to help me. please give me any feed back to help me. *nm
