| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: My 2004 kia rio started to stall at stop signs and lights @ 24,000 i am also experiencing erratic tachometer readings (up and down) and i have had a continued rough idle. i have brought the car to my dealer on more than 6 occasions and at that point they only returned the computer chip and told me there seems to be nothing wrong with my car. after hiring a lawyer and constant pressure from them to fix the car, they ordered a throttle arm and agreed to try it out. on june 23, 2006 before they put the throttle item in, i stalled @ 30 mph making a turn onto to a street from a intersection. a car coming the other way and stopped inches short of hitting me on my drivers side door. at this point even with the new part placed in my car, i do not feel safe driving this car since they said there is no way to guarantee the problem will be fixed. *nm |
