2000 Kia Carnival LS review from Australia and New Zealand
"Completely liability financially"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
2nd engine blew up after 56000 ks.
Coolant problems causing car to overheat.
No power up hill.
Cost of repairs to rebuild 3rd engine, upto now $10,100.
General comments?
After owning this car for three weeks and running costs of repairs at 10,000 dollars, I think it is safe to say the vehicle is indeed a lemon.
No help whatsoever from dealer.
Do I want the car back from repair? NO.
