2006 Kia Sportage LX V6
Summary:
Wonderful car if Kia would cure the electrical problems
Faults:
Electrical problems.. Got the car new and it has been back to 3 different Kia dealers, and is still having problems.
Door locks have a mind of their own, locks will lock and unlock up to 20 seconds.
If the A/C and radio are on at the same time, both will shut off and start back up.
Dome lights, head lights, dash lights flicker at will. Each Kia dealer comes up with their own reasons.
Engine ground wire loose, replaced alternator 3 times, replaced battery, replaced engine main fuse box. Last dealer said they found the problem and replaced the alarm/security computer. Guess what, the problem is still there.
I love the car, but it has been in the shop 9 different times for the same problem, and each Kia dealer comes up with a cure for the problem, but with no cure at all.
General Comments:
Great car, rides well, handles well. Just serious problems with electrical problems.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? No
