NHTSA Complaint #752802 — 1999 KIA SEPHIA

I HAVE ALREADY CONTACTED THE MANUFACTURER IN SEVERAL OCASIONS. FILED A COMPLAINT WITH THE BBB AUTO LINE, BUT CASE WAS CLOSED BECAUSE CAR IS NOT A LEMON. THE DEALERS HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO FIND THE PROBLEMS OF THE TRANSMISSION AND THE IGNITION. KIA HAD SAID THAT THEY WERE WORKING ON A "GOOD FAITH OFFER" BUT AFTER THE BBB CLOSED THE CASE, DID NOT HEAR FROM THEM ANYMORE. I DO NOT WISH TO KEEP THE CAR. KIA HAS NOT HONORED THE WARRANTY PROMISE; THEREFORE THEY ARE IN DEFAULT OF THE WARRANTY. KIA DEALERS WON'T CHECK THE CAR IF COMPUTER DOES NOT PROMPT A CODE. THE LAST TIME I DROPPED THE CAR AT THE DEALER, LEFT IT FOR OVER 5 DAYS FOR THEM TO INSPECT AND NOTIFIED KIA OF THIS ACTION, BUT THEY COULD NOT FIND THE INTERMITTENT PROBLEMS. MONTHLY PAYMENT ON CAR IS $422.52. CAN'T AFFORD A DEFECTIVE VEHICLE, BESIDES OF PAYING FOR TOW TRUCKS AND MISSING FROM WORK DUE TO CAR FAILURES. TRANSMISSION HAVE BROKEN TWICE. EVERY TIME THEY FIX IT, IT DOES NOT WORK FOR LONG. THIS CAR IS NO LONGER RELIABLE AND I DO NOT WISH TO WASTE MY TIME AT DEALERS. THEY HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO REPAIR THE PROBLEMS. I AM DESPERATE FOR A SOLUTION. I WOULD APPRECIATE YOUR ADVISE BEFORE A PROCEDE LEGALLY.*AK
