| 2010 | WHEELS | I WAS DRIVING HOME, THE LOW AIR PRESSURE INDICATOR TURNED ON, AND I STOPPED AT A GAS STATION TO PUT AIR IN THE TIRES. I NOTICED THAT ONE OF THE TPS ON THE REAR WHEEL WAS CRACKED. ONCE I TRIED TO REMOVE THE PLASTIC VALVE STEM COVER, THE VALVE STEM BROKE RELEASING ALL AIR IN THE TIRE. I PUT THE SPARE ON, THEN CONTACTED DEALER. DEALER STATES THAT I NEED TO PURCHASE NEW TPS, AS THE "SENSOR WILL NOT BREAK ON ITS OWN." CAR HAS 35K ON IT, STILL HAS FACTORY WARRANTY, HOWEVER, THIS ITEM IS NOT COVERED. *TR |
| 2011 | POWER TRAIN | WHILE DRIVING AND ATTEMPTING TO GAIN SPEED TO ENTER THE INTERSTATE HIGHWAY IN SAN ANTONIO TEXAS THE TRANSMISSION WOULD NOT CHANGE GEARS AND HAD TO PULL OVER. I THEN HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO A KIA DEALERSHIP 10 MILES AWAY. I AM AWAITING A CALL FROM THEM REGARDING REPAIRS. *TR |
