NHTSA Complaint #711385 — 1998 KIA SEPHIA

I PURCHASED THE CAR IN AUG. 1998, ONE MONTH LATER THE OIL, BATTERY, ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I HAD TO GET THE CAR TOWED. AS OF MARCH, 1999 I HAD TO TAKE THE CAR IN FOR BRAKE FAILURE ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. I HAVE ALL THE SERVICE ORDER SLIPS. SOMETIME IS JULY OR AUGUST I HAD TO CALL THE TOW TRUCK AGAIN, CAR WOULD NOT START. THE TOW TRUCK DRIVER SAID IT WAS BECAUSE OF THE A/C. I HAD A DEFECTIVE BATTERY. AS OF JULY 31, 1999 I HAD NO A/C TOOK CAR IN FOR SERVICES ON AUG 4TH. REPAIR DONE, NOT! AS OF AUG 6TH NO A/C . BERNICKIE HAD TO ORDER THE HOSE. AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO RESOLVE THIS MATTER, ON SEPT 9TH I CALLED SERVICE THE HOSE FINALLY CAME IN. HOWEVER, THEY WERE UNABLE TO FIX THE A/C DUE TO SOME TYPE OF BLOCKAGE THEY SAID. THIS CAR IS STILL NEW, I 'VE ONLY HAD IT FOR ONE YEAR. I NEED SOME FEED BACK PLEASE.
