Consumer Description

I HAVE A 1999 KIA SPORTAGE WITH 55,000 MILES ON IT. THE ENTIRE FRAME IS ROTTED AND RUSTED OUT. CANNOT DRIVE THE VEHICLE IN SAFETY. WILL NOT PASS INSPECTION. I HAVE 6 MORE MONTHS OF PAYMENTS I WANT TO KNOW WHAT I CAN DO ABOUT THIS? THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. 3 DEALERSHIPS WOULD NOT EVEN TAKE IT AS A TRADE! I WAS TOLD NOT TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE BECAUSE THE GASTANK COULD FALL DOWN IF I HIT A BUMP IN THE ROAD AND THE VEHICLE COULD EXPLODE. *TR
