Description of the problem	The floor mat on the driver's side of my 2007 kia spectra will not remain anchored. Although i'm writing this complaint in 2009, this has been a problem since i bought the car in 2007. I recently brought the car in to the dealership to fix the door locks (which lock on their own immediately after you unlock them) and i brought mat issue to the attention of the service department while there. They proceeded to push the mat back into the anchor (like i haven't tried that hundreds of times in the last two years?), but it was out again within a day - so they have not fixed this nor appear to want to address it. I view this as an unacceptable safety issue and after seeing a news report tonight about a major fatal accident involving a similar problem with a toyota i am determined to get this addressed by the dealership! On the note about the door locks - i will be bringing it back for the fourth time to address that problem next week. I also wanted to point out, that i had a safety concern with my old 2000 kia sephia years ago where the driver's side seatbelt wouldn't stay latched if you just tugged on the belt a little. The dealership (a different one) refused to replace it (because my warranty had expired) and wanted to charge me hundreds of dollars to fix it. I filed a complaint and the usdot highway safety division paid to replace them as long as i sent the old components to them so they could test the latch. Shortly thereafter, the seatbelts to both front seats were recalled and i went back in to get my passenger latch replaced under this massive recall. I am very disappointed to find that kia is still not stepping up to the plate on safety issues without having to get regulatory bodies involved! This is a great way to ruin customer loyalty in someone who gave them a second chance!!!!

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
What is Defect?
Non-conformance of a car component with the specified requirements, or non-fulfillment of user expectations, including the safety aspects.
