Consumer Description

I HAVE A SERIOUS ELECTRICAL/WIRING PROBLEM. WHENEVER IT RAINS OR I GO TO THE CARWASH, I AM GUARANTEED TO HAVE MY HEADLIGHT, BRAKE LIGHTS, TURN SIGNAL LIGHT TO GO OUT BECAUSE IT GETS WET. ALSO, I HAVE A BAD VIBRATION IN MY FRONT WHEELS WHILE I AM DRIVING. I HAVE HAD MY ROTORS REPLACED WITH NEW ROTORS AS WELL AS BRAKES. I HAVE HAD MY TIRES REBALANCED AND ROTATED AND IT STILL VIBRATES. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE KIA DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPARTMENT FOR ISSUES. THE VIBRATION DOES NOT HAPPEN WHEN I HIT THE BRAKES, IT VIBRATES WHEN I ACCELERATE. IT DOES NOT MATTER WHAT THE SPEED, IT WILL VIBRATE.
