| 2006 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:WIRING | TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 KIA OPTIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT HE HAD TO REPLACE THE HEADLIGHTS EVERY SIX MONTHS SINCE PURCHASING THE VEHICLE NEW. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALERSHIP WHERE THE DEALER ADDED AN EXTRA GROUND WIRE TO THE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY. HOWEVER, THE FAILURE STILL OCCURRED. THE CONTACT REPLACED THE HEADLIGHTS AGAIN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 5,500. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 65,983. UPDATED 8/9/10 *CN THE CONSUMER STATED THE WIRES WERE TOO SMALL WHICH PREVENTED AMP FLOW, WHICH CAUSED THE BULBS TO BURN. UPDATED 08/11/10 |
| 2008 | SEAT BELTS | WE WERE HIT IN THE PASSENGER SIDE AND THE ENTIRE SIDE OF THE CAR WAS CRUSHED AND NONE OF THE AIR BAGS EVER DEPLOYED AND THE PASSENGER SIDE SEAT BELT DID NOT LOCK. I HAD REPORTED THE FACT THAT WHEN SOMEONE WAS SITTING IN THE PASSENGER SEAT THAT THE AIRBAG LIGHT WAS NOT COMING ON TO THE CAR DEALERSHIP THAT I PURCHASED THE CAR FROM BUT THEY JUST MADE EXCUSES THAT THE PERSON SITTING IN THE SEAT WAS NOT HEAVY ENOUGH EVEN THOUGH THEY WEIGHED OVER 150LBS. *TR |
