Consumer Description

MARCH 17 2001 IS THE DATE THAT I PURCHASED MY KIA RIO SINCE THEN I HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT MULTIPLE PROBLEMS. MY BIGGEST COMPLAINT IS THE TRANSMISSION IT JERKS BETWEEN GEARS AND SHAKES HORRIBLY WHEN I GO OVER 50MPH. EVERY TIME I HAVE TAKEN IT IN THEY TELL ME THERE IS NOTHING WRONG. I HAVE A FRIEND WHO ALSO HAS THE SAME YEAR AND MODEL CAR AS I AND HER ENGINE HAS BLOWN UP TWICE. I HAVE NEVER BEEN SO AFRAID TO DRIVE A VEHICLE. *AK
