2001 Kia Spectra GSX review from North America
"I am scared to have my 5year old in the car with me."
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Faulty back hatch.
Spark plugs fail every 5000 miles.
Engine light turns back on within 30 miles of the repairing dealership.
Power supply weakens.
Paint chips easily.
Emission system problems (apparently cannot be identified)
General comments?
This car is a financial wreck.
The car has wiped out my savings just on repairs not covered (but what is covered?)
