2003 Kia Sportage 4x4 review from South Africa
"Had enough of hassles and want sell"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Faulty wiring caused me to get stranded twice & the car needed to be towed.
Loss of power & jerking, but the agents cannot find the fault.
Engine check light keeps coming on, the agents keep cancelling the light as they cannot find the fault.
Faulty window switches had to be replaced.
The car just got out of the workshop on Thursday, but is booked again on Monday for another diagnosis as the check light is on again.
General comments?
This car spends more time in the workshop than with me however it has good looks & handles well off-road.
