| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I own a 2000 kia sportage. i had gone to the dealer i bought the vehicle from, used last august and had many of the recall items repaired. i specifically requested an investigation for repair on a gas fumes issue. i was advised there was no problem, despite the overpowering gad smell emitting from my vehicle. i see that there has been no official "recall" yet established, but find that an investigation is being headed up by nhtsa for all 199 & 2000 kia sportages. the cost of the repairs that this may entail appear at this point to be well over 500 to 1000.00 dollars. please advise if there is any change to the investigation, and whether there will be any recall notice initiated soon. |
