| Description of the problem | I own a 2004 kia sedona. I bought the car with 57,000 miles on it from the original owner. The warranty calls for 60,000 miles to second owner. The transmission, rack & pinion were replaced by me at 57,000 and now the engine has a build up of sludge and the local dealer is refusing to warranty the defect. They did not replace the transmission or rack and pinion either. They were paid for and replaced by me. I feel this car is a lemon and i need help in pursuing recourse against this dealer in chattanooga, prebul kia. Thanks |
