Consumer Description

VEHICLE HAS BEEN TO THE DEALER FOR SEVERAL PROBLEMS, SOME OF WHICH WAS COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY. BUT I THINK THAT A CAR THAT I GOT IN 2000 SHOULD NOT GIVE ME SUCH MAJOR PROBLEMS. NOW, I WAS DRIVING IT AND THE LIGHTS STARTED TO FLASH, HORN STARTED TO BLOW, WINDSHIELD WIPERS CAME ON BY THEMSELVES IN A FRENZY AND THEN THE WHOLE CAR SHUT OFF. WHEN I LIFTED UP THE HOOD, SOMETHING SMELLED TO BE BURNING, I BELIEVE THE WIRING IS BAD AND IT SHORTED OUT THE WHOLE CAR. THE MECHANIC SAID NO OFFENSE BUT KIA IS NOT A VERY GOOD BUILD CAR AT ALL. IT HAS TOO MANY PROBLEMS. *KK
