1999 Kia Sportage 4x4 review from North America
"NO BARGAIN"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
First problem was engine light. after having all filters replaced light finally went off. after two weeks it came back on called dealer and they said its when we put gas cap on that its so sensitive to the cap that it brings the light on ha ha. then car died in middle of road while drivng at 15 miles per hour. very unsafe. so had car towed they are still working on car because now when you start it and let it run then shut if off and then try to re-star it will not start up again.
General comments?
Can't comment in this section because I bought car on july 6 it went in shop on august 28 and still have not gotten it back yet. I woiuld like to know if anyone has driven this in the snow yet because we have hard time getting out of a rain puddle while not in four wheel drive.
