2001 Kia Sportage EX review from North America
"Built to cover the warranty then dies"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
At 101,053 miles the head gasket blew.
Dealership did not cover under warranty!!!
Along with the water pump and radiator.
Spent 2950.70 on repairs shoulod have bought a new car, but was wanting to be loyal for the 5 years I had the car.
13 month too, the day driving down the road and surprise, same gasket blow again.
Dealer does not cover under Warranty.
General comments?
Was good, but one the warranty goes good luck becuse the car literally falls apart. be warned kia owners and people looking at kia's.
