| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I purchased this 2006 kia rio lx new from gracia kia of albuquerque. after driving the vehicle for several days, i noticed that the car has a tendency to "walk" or "wobble" at freeway speeds of 65 mph or higher on primarily concrete freeways. this problem is not noticeable on paved road ways, just concrete freeways which have been grooved. i took the car to dealership and they checked the vehicle over and could not find anything wrong with the vehicle. i was told by the dealership that the mostly cause of the "walk" was the narrow wheelbase and the small tires that come on the car as standard equipment. on the service request, the fix was listed as "test drove the vehicle on freeway at higher speeds found vehicle to handle same as a new 06 rio. called tech line - no other info. put on alignment rack - normal. npf". *nm |
