2000 Kia Sportage review from North America
"This car needs to be recalled"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Tires became bald three months after I bought the car,6 months later brake pads and rotor needed replacing, the radio doesn't work.
My windows came off track.
The gas lever has been fixed three times and it is still broken.
I took it in the shop to get it fixed and when I got the car back the wiring on my car was all back-wards.
My windows can roll up and down without the key in the ignition along with the vents and if I don't turn my vents off when I leave the car it will run my battery dead.
The mechanics said they didn't touch any wires and they are afraid to fix it because then I will have more problems with the car.
Every month my car is going into the shop to get something fixed.
I have only had the car for two years. What really sucks is I bought the car 11,000 and I still owe 10,000.
I hate my car so much since I can't sell I want to set it on fire and watch it BURN!!!
