Description of the problem	Nov. 2013 i was driving the car and the odometer stopped working, i went to kia and they said they had to order a part for it but it was okay to drive. I continued to drive it from ky to indianapolis in when the speedometer stopped working then the entire instrument panel stopped working, i called kia dealership in elizabethtown ky and they said they had ordered the entire cluster but car was okay to drive, i went out the next day and the car started but you could not engage the gear shift. Had to have the car towed to dealership. They had car 3 weeks and said it is fixed. January 13th 2014 started all over with odometer going out, took it back to kia and they had to order yet another cluster (2nd in 2 months) okay to drive car, i refused and required them to provide loaner (which is not allowed to be taken out of state). This is not a safety issue but goes to electrical, they had to replace the entire glove compartment because the light kept going on and off when the door was closed. They said a sensor had gone out and they had to replace the entire thing not just a bulb.
