2008 Kia Sportage LX review from North America
"Regret purchasing it"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Check Engine Light triggers on and off constantly.
Was told my dealer it was the gas cap, and they "fixed" it. When the light appeared the 2nd time I checked the gas cap, removed and clicked it back on the warning light was still there. It disappears and reappears... nobody seems to know why. Unsettling and disappointing.
Many regrets, wish I had found this website before purchasing.
General comments?
The only thing I like about this vehicle right now is it's hatchback window feature.
