Cd player skipped - replaced but does the same.
Coil needed replacing - no problems now.
Brake pads and discs worn - no problems now.
Brake caliper squeaking - no problems now.
Crankshaft bolt loose - presently trying to sort out.
Loved my car at first, it was cheap which is important as I'm a student, I think it looks very smart and love the bright red colour.
It all started going wrong just after my warranty ran out. I am presently trying to find out about the crankshaft bolt. It needs replacing. I have noticed other Kia drivers have found the same, however my car was not recalled.
I have to say the garage where I take it has the best team, and they have always worked very hard to sort out the problems for me, but I'm feeling frustrated because the car is only 4 years old. I bought it because I was fed up with paying out so much money on older cars, and just wanted something reliable.
We had a 2004/54 Picanto and had a few problems. It is a cheaply made car and not all that sturdy. The new Kia Cee'd model is a WORLD beater in quality, but the Picanto is any older design and the build quality is just not here yet.
We now drive a 2007 Daihatsu Sirion which has suffered absolutely no faults at all; recommended.
