Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I bought my 2003 kia spectra brand new,kept up with oil changes and maintenance,my transmission went out at 71,ooo miles. i had the so called 100,000 mile warranty on it. they did not cover any of it they said because i live in ga it gets hot,so the warranty wont cover it. also,i was recently in a fender bender and my air bags did not deploy,and we have also had several trips to the kia place because of minor stuff such as the air not working and the check engine light continually staying on. the 2003 kia spectra's are a joke and if you live were it gets hot or too cold your warranty is of non effect.
