NHTSA Complaint #10608267 — 2007 KIA SORENTO

THE CAR MAKES A BAD TICKING NOISE MOSTLY WHEN START UP AND IT GETS SO BAD THAT SOUNDS LIKE MY ENGINE HEAD WANTS TO BLOW. AND EVERYTIME I START THE CAR THE BIGGEST CLOUD OF SMOKE COMES OUT THE EXHAUST CAN COVER AN ENTIRE PARKING LOT WITH SMOKE ITS VERY EMBARRASSING. THERE'S AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM WITH THE WINDOWS AND THE SWITCHES. SOMETIMES IT WORKS SOMETIMES IT DOESN'T. I THINK MY CAR ALSO MISSING REAR SUSPENSION SHOCK ABSORBERS. MY OIL LEVELS GET SO LOW THAT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND OIL SENSOR LIGHT DON'T EVEN COME ON TO WARM ME. I MEAN MY CAR LOOKS NEW BUT HAS INTERNAL DEFECTIVE PROBLEMS. I READ ONLINE AN ENTIRE ARTICLE ABOUT THE KIA SORENTOS THAT KIA SOLD WERE DEFECTIVE. I DO NOT WANT TO BE NEXT IN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. WOULD LIKE MY MONEY BACK!
