Consumer Description

I HAVE ONLY HAD THIS VEHICLE ALMOST 4 YEARS AND I HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS WITH IT. I'M A SINGLE MOTHER AND I CANT JUST GO PUT IT IN THE SHOP. FIRST I COULDN'T DRIVE IT BC THE COMPRESSOR BROKE AND I NEEDED 700 TO FIX IT. GOT IT FIXED BUT THE AIR STILL DONT WORK. NOW A ROD IS ABOUT TO GO AND I HAVE TO HAVE A WHOLE NEW MOTOR, WHICH IS 1500 WITHOUT LABOR. AND I HAVE A BABY ON THE WAY. I'M DRIVE A GAS GUZZLING TRUCK THAT I HAD TO BORROW. I THOUGHT KIA WAS A GOOD VEHICLE BUT APPARENTLY I GUESSED WRONG. MY VEHICLE IS JUST SITTING IN THE FRONT YARD BC I DIDNT WANT TO CAUSE ANY OTHER PROBLEMS WHEN I HEARD THE LOUD KNOCKING AND IT'S BEEN PARKED FOR ABOUT 3 MONTHS NOW..
