NHTSA Complaint #737581 — 2000 KIA SEPHIA

AT ONE TIME ENGINE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WENT ON, IT WAS THE FUEL INJECTION, THEN I HAD THE BRAKE PADS REPLACED, NOT EVEN TWO MONTHS LATER I HAD TO GET THEM REPLACED AGAIN, THATS INCLUDING THE DRUMS, THAT WAS BECAUSE IT WOULD VIBRATE AND WHEN RELEASING THE BRAKE IT WOULD MAKE A POP SOUND. AFTER 8 MONTHS OF HAVING THE VEHICLE THE BATTERY WENT DEAD ONE DAY I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. THE CAR SMELLS LIKE SMOKE. I HAD IT CHECK BECAUSE IT SHIFTS HARD AND IT HESITATES ALL THE TIME, THEY TOLD ME IT WAS OKAY. *AK
