| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Vehicle has been to the dealer for several problems, some of which was covered under the warranty. but i think that a car that i got in 2000 should not give me such major problems. now, i was driving it and the lights started to flash, horn started to blow, windshield wipers came on by themselves in a frenzy and then the whole car shut off. when i lifted up the hood, something smelled to be burning, i believe the wiring is bad and it shorted out the whole car. the mechanic said no offense but kia is not a very good build car at all. it has too many problems. *kk |
