| Description of the problem | I took my 2008 rondo in to steven kia on 4/10/2009 because the check engine light was on. They still have not fixed my car and it has been in their shop for over 60 days. They say the engine has defective parts. I want to know if kia will give me a car that is not defective or return my purchase cost. If this car is defective then i want to get another car. I bought it for my daughter and i no longer trust that she will be driving a safe vehicle. |
