Consumer Description

I BOUGHT THIS CAR USED W/42K MILES. I HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE TPS SINCE 2MONTHS AFTER I BOUGHT IT. I HAVE HAD IT IN THE KIA REPAIR SHOP 8 TIMES AND HAVE SPENT OVER $1500.00 IN REPAIRS, TOWING AND RENTAL CARS. I HAVE HAD IT TOWED 3 TIMES. IT HAS HAD A NEW COMPUTER, NEW SENSORS, NEW DISTRIBUTION CENTER AND NEW CIRCUIT CONNECTORS INSTALLED, IN ADDITION TO ALL OF THE FUEL RELATED SAFETY RECALL PARTS. I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THIS CAR TO MY WORST ENEMY. KIA CONSUMER ASSISTANCE IS CLUELESS---THIS MAKE AND MODEL SHOULD HAVE BEEN RECALLED COMPLETELY! I AM IN THE PROCESS OF FILING LEMON LAW AND AM COMPLETELY DISGUSTED WITH THIS CAR, AS WELL AS THE COMPANY.
