| 2002 | ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING | I TOOK MY 2002 KIA OPTIMA IN FOR A TUNE UP, THEY FOUND A BROKEN WATER PUMP, 5 CRACKS IN THE MANIFOLD. IT TOOK KIA 3 TIMES TO FIND THE PROBLEM. AFTER I PICKED UP THE CAR IT STILL HAD A PROBLEM TOOK IT BACK TWICE BEFORE THEY FOUND IT WAS A SENSOR PROBLEM THIS CAR IS NOT A SAFE VEHICLE. *TR |
| 2002 | POWER TRAIN:DRIVELINE | THERE WAS A SAFETY RECALL ON MY 2002 KIA OPTIMA REGARDING THE SUBFRAME. THE CORROSION UNDER MY CAR IS DEVASTATING. NHTSA NEEDS TO KNOW THAT THIS CORROSION PROBLEM IS EXTENSIVE AND AFFECTS MORE THEN THE SUBFRAME. KIA IS INSISTING THAT I PAY FOR THE DAMAGE THEY WILL CAUSE WHEN THEY HAVE TO REPLACE THE SUBFRAME. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD THAT WILL AFFECT THOUSANDS. *TR |
