| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Last feb. the coolant reservoir cracked, lost all coolant. towed to dealer. they fixed it and told me that i needed a new belt. i didn't want anything more to happen as i take my 90 year old mom around, they replaced one belt for $120. never ran right after that, with screeching noises and no more a/c. today, just as i was driving onto the highway-i started losing my steering and i immediately pulled over off the ramp, then it stalled as i was pulling over. i have read about this happening to a lot of people and was just waiting for it to happen. well it did and thank god i wasn't going 70 on the highway yet. it has been towed to dealer and they said it was the bolt on the drive shaft that broke. then he said that since i'm only 8000 miles away from 60k, then i should just do the timing belt service now because if i don't and it goes, then my engine will blow. so i guess this is what i have to wait to happen next and i'm sure it will. thousands of people can't be wrong. don't buy a kia!!!!!!!!!!!!! *tr |
