I SERVE ON THE NH LEMON LAW BOARD. WE HAVE HAD SEVERAL (2 ON 10/24) KIA SPORTAGE CASES WITH STALLING PROBLEMS AT HIGHIAWAY SPEEDS. THIS VEHICLE HAS HAD A SAFETY RECALL (KIA RECALL S014) FOR A WIRING HARNESS FOR THE FUEL SYSTEM. VEHICLES THAT HAVE HAD THIS RECALL STILL EXHIBIT THE PROBLEM. IN REVIEW OF THE KIA RECALL DOCUMENTS, I FEEL THE RECALL IS BEING DONE IMPROPERLY. THE STEPS TO "REPAIR" THE WIRING CONNECTOR ARE POOR AT BEST. TESTIMONY IN ONE CASE BY THE KIA FACTORY REP INDICATED THE RECALL WAS DONE INCORRECTLY. THIS WIRING CONNECTOR SHOULD BE REPLACED....NOT REPAIRED!! KIA CUSTOMERS ARE STILL DRIVING VEHICLES WITH A FALSE SENSE OF SECURITY AFTER HAVING THE S014 RECALL PERFORMED. PLEASE REVIEW THIS RECALL AND KIA'S PROCEDURES. THEY ARE GROSSLY INADEQUATE!!!! YOU MAY CALL ME AT 1-800-493-4330 (WORK) OR E-MAIL AT [email protected]. *AK

VEHICLE STALLS AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. ALL RECALLS HAVE BEEN PERFORMED. NO CHANGE, STILL STALLS. PLEASE INVESTIGATE!*AK

WHILE EXITING THE HIGHWAY ON AN OFF RAMP, APPROX. 20-30 MPH, THE LEFT FRONT TIRE BLEW OUT ON THE SIDE OF THE TIRE FORCING THE VEHICLE TO SLAM INTO A GUARDRAIL AND DAMAGING THE FRONT CORNER AND SIDE OF VEHICLE FROM FRONT TO BACK. THERE WERE NO INJURIES.INSURANCE COVERED THE DAMAGE AND ALSO TRIED TO CONTACT MANUFACTURER OF TIRE FOR DAMAGES BUT THEY DENIED ANY RESPONSIBILITY. THE CAR ONLY HAD 12000 MILES AND VERY LITTLE TIRE WEAR AND THE INSURANCE ADJUSTER SAID IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN CAUSED FROM A DEFECTIVE TIRE. THE COMPANY DENIED AND WE HAD TO PAY. JUST WONDERING IF THERE ARE ANY OTHER COMPLAINTS ON FILE...MAYBE SOMETHING SHOULD BE DONE. (TIRESIZE: P20575R15)( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: P20575R15 )

RECALL 99V325000 WORK WAS CORRECTED. SINCE RECALL WORK WAS DONE ENGINE CHECK LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON THE DASH. CONSUMER CONTACTED THE DEALER. DEALER NOTED THAT RECALL PROBLEM HAS FAILED AND WIRES WENT BAD. ALSO, AIR BAG LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATING ON THE DASH. PLEASE PROVIDE ANY FURTHER DETAILS.*AK

I HAVE SENT THE FOLLOWING E-MAIL BOTH TO KIA AND HYUNDAI SEVERAL TIMES AND HAVE NOT RECEIVED A RESPONSE.I HAVE A 1999 SPORTAGE CONVERTIBLE VIN # [XXX], AFTER. NO SAFETY COMPLAINT. *AK INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

THIS VEHICLE CAN BE DIFFICULT TO CONTROL IN HIGH WINDS AND REQUIRES CONSTANT VIGILANCE AGAINST WIND GUSTS. I HAVE DRIVEN AND OWNED OTHER SMALL VEHICLES THAT WERE NOT SO SERIOUSLY AFFECTED BY WIND.
