I have only had this vehicle almost 4 years and I have had nothing but problems with it. I'm a single mother and I cant just go put it in the shop. First I couldn't drive it bc the compressor broke and I needed 700 to fix it. Got it fixed but the air still dont work. Now a rod is about to go and I have to have a whole new motor, which is 1500 without labor. And I have a baby on the way. I'm drive a gas guzzling truck that I had to borrow. I thought Kia was a good vehicle but apparently I guessed wrong. My vehicle is just sitting in the front yard bc I didnt want to cause any other problems when I heard the loud knocking and it's been parked for about 3 months now..

#1 whenever it rains the right headlight goes out and has to be replaced. #2 when the car is driven there is a burning smell inside the car that smells like wires burning. And there is smoke coming from inside the enging compartment and flowing from under the hood. Between the battery compartment and the frame area. We have taken the vehicle to Kia for a diognostic and although they noticed the issue also, they could not find where it was coming from. Driving the Kia makes me very nervous and we would like to know what is causing the problem and how to fix it. We live in lawrenceville ga and the issue hapoens weather were on the streets or on the highway.
