1999 Kia Sephia review from North America

Immediately the check engine light came on for no reason.

Secondly, the O/D light came on for no reason. It would come on or go off... or blink on and off.

Car stalls 90% of the time I tried to start it. If it's cold outside it may not start at all.

Now, sometimes it'll start sometimes it won't.

Two days after I had it fixed and got it running it refused to start at a gas station and left me stranded.

There is an electrical short and the radio stations will not come in clearly. Actually, sometimes the radio will come on... sometimes it won't.

Tire cover mat caves in and refuses to cover the bottom of the trunk.

The inside latch to unlock the hood sometimes works... sometimes doesn't.

The lock for the trunk sometimes works... sometimes doesn't.

It has left me and my passenger stranded twice.

At 39000 miles I had to replace/pay for:

A.Battery.

B.Starter.

C.Towing Costs.

The mechanic still does NOT know what's wrong with the car.

It still won't start.

Now I may still have to buy an:

D. Ignition Switch.

The windshield wiper fluid squirts over the hood and never touches the windshield.

The dealership wants $100 just to look at it.

I believe this works-when-it-wants-to car has a money-eating, leave you stranded, migraine causing demon.

It is evil.

When I first bought this car it was a 1999 that only had 37000 miles on it and one previous owner. I bought it for only $3000. I thought that deal was too good to be true. It was.

I am only glad that I do not have a car note to pay on this go-cart from Hell.

As soon as I can get it to start I'm going to start looking for a buyer, or a young priest and an old priest, whichever comes along first.

Please, please, please do not buy, ride in or look at this car.
