| Description of the problem | I have only had this vehicle almost 4 years and i have had nothing but problems with it. I'm a single mother and i cant just go put it in the shop. First i couldn't drive it bc the compressor broke and i needed 700 to fix it. Got it fixed but the air still dont work. Now a rod is about to go and i have to have a whole new motor, which is 1500 without labor. And i have a baby on the way. I'm drive a gas guzzling truck that i had to borrow. I thought kia was a good vehicle but apparently i guessed wrong. My vehicle is just sitting in the front yard bc i didnt want to cause any other problems when i heard the loud knocking and it's been parked for about 3 months now.. |
