Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND ALL THE SUDDEN MY CAR GAVE A BIG SOUND AND DIED. THE STEERING WAS REALLY HARD TO STEER, LUCKLY I WAS IN THE SLOW LANE AND COASTED OFF THE EDGE OF THE ROAD. HAD IT TOWED TO MECHANIC THE STARTED WAS BAD, ALONG WITH THE FUEL LINE AND FUEL PUMP. AFTER GOT IT RUNNING ONCE AGAIN RAN FINE HOUR LATER THE CRANK SHAFT SENSOR WENT OUT. I HAVE READ MANY MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME ISSUES, ALSO WAS TOLD THAT MY FUEL TANK AND BOTTOM WAS RUSTING OUT. AND MY SWAY BAR IS BAD. MY CAR SHAKES, I HAVE HAD NEW TIRES AND BRAKES PUT ON AND A NEW MUFFLER PUT ON. I HAVE HAD ALL MY OIL CHANGES AND TUNE UPS. THEY SAY THERE IS NO RECALLS, HOW COULD THERE NOT BE RECALLS HERE IN THE USA. THEY HAD A CLASS ACTION LAW SUIT IN CANADA AND KIA WAS MADE TO FIX THESE SAME ISSUES.
