| 2007 | AIR BAGS | MY DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON ONE DAY FOR NO REASON AND CONTINUES TO STAY ON CONSTANTLY. SPOKE WITH KIA DEALERSHIP ABOUT THE LIGHT AND IT WAS EXPLAINED THAT THE RECALL DOES NOT INCLUDE MY AMANTI. THERE WERE NOT ENOUGH AMANTIS SOLD TO BE COVERED UNDER THE RECALL DO TO THE NUMBERS GAME. THEY WANT ME TO PAY BETWEEN $800 AND $1600 TO HAVE IT FIXED. THIS AIRBAG LIGHT IS THE SAME DEFECT THAT THE OPTIMAS AND RONDOS ARE HAVING. IT IS UNSAFE FOR ME TO DRIVE MY CAR. THEY NEED TO REPLACE IT FREE OF CHARGE. IT SHOULD BE COVERED BY THE SAME RECALL FOR OTHER VEHICLES. IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE. PLEASE HAVE THE AMANTIS ADDED TO THE RECALL. *TR |
| 2004 | FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:DELIVERY:HOSES, LINES/PIPING, AND FITTINGS | CAR-KIA SORENTO (NO OPTION ON VEHICLE PAGE FOR SORENTO) I HAVE TAKEN THE KIA SORENTO NOW 4-5 TIMES FOR THE GAS TANK PROBLEM. THE CAR WILL NOT ALLOW ME TO PUMP GAS FREELY. IT KEEPS STOPPING EVERY 30 CENTS OR SO. QUIRK KIA HAS SERVICED 4 TIMES AND EACH TIME THEY HAVE REPLACED PARTS FROM FUEL FILLER NECK TO PUMPS TO HOSES TO A PRESSURE SENSOR, ETC. I WAS TOLD ON 7/30/05 THAT THE MECHANIC (ON 3RD VISIT) THAT PREVIOUSLY TRIED FIXING MY CAR BROKE A FEW THINGS IN THE GAS TANK AND THERE WAS A FAULTY PART GASKET. THEY SAID THEY REPLACED THE PARTS. THEY DID NOT GIVE ME A RECEIPT. NOW THE PROBLEM CONTINUES AND I FEEL UNSAFE WHEN IT HAS TO DO WITH GASOLINE NOT PROPERLY ENTERING MY VEHICLE. WHY CAN'T THEY FIX IT? MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAS BEEN ON 2 TIMES BECAUSE OF THE PROBLEM GETTING WORSE! *JB |
