On or about september 26, 2004, purchased a 2004 kia amanti. since that time, the vehicle has undergone a multitude of problems, many of which kia has been unable to fix. since its purchase, the vehicle has exhibited air conditioning problems, electrical circuit problems, battery problems, water leaks, recurring engine light problems and, most recently, shaking and lurching issues which have rendered the vehicle unsafe to operate. although some of these issues were rectified, it appears that the vehicle continues to exhibit additional problems one right after another. in fact, the rear brake light and windshield leak required six separate visits to ontario kia due to the fact that kia could not locate the source of the problem. although the car is still relatively new, dr. oh has already purchased a car battery, two brakes, and four new tires (excluding other repair costs not covered by warranty). over the course of the past month, the air conditioning unit fails to operate satisfactorily. over the course of the past several weeks, dr. oh has continued to drive the vehicle notwithstanding the air conditioning problems and the continuous shaking and bouncing issues. *jb
Car-kia sorento (no option on vehicle page for sorento) i have taken the kia sorento now 4-5 times for the gas tank problem. the car will not allow me to pump gas freely. it keeps stopping every 30 cents or so. quirk kia has serviced 4 times and each time they have replaced parts from fuel filler neck to pumps to hoses to a pressure sensor, etc. i was told on 7/30/05 that the mechanic (on 3rd visit) that previously tried fixing my car broke a few things in the gas tank and there was a faulty part gasket. they said they replaced the parts. they did not give me a receipt. now the problem continues and i feel unsafe when it has to do with gasoline not properly entering my vehicle. why can't they fix it? my check engine light has been on 2 times because of the problem getting worse! *jb
