| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I bought a 1998 kia sephia in feb of 2000 i have had to replace 3 gear shifters and three transmissions and the car has only been driven 2/3 of the time that i have owned this car. my signal light on one side has never really worked properly and the the headlight constantly shorts out. of course now i'm out of warranty and still experiencing these problems and many more i dont know where else to turn because all i'm ever told is that's a kia for you. i still have a loan of this car and dont think it's right that almost every year the gear shifter and trans need to be replaced. i would great appreciate any help you can give me because i havent been able to drive the car for the last 2 months because the gear shifter wont come out of park and when it did the trans raced when reaching 2 gear. there is no way anyone should experience this much trouble whether being a used car or not. please help me. *ak |
