problem #2

Rio 4-cyl

  • miles
All of the windows fogged. To the point where condensation dripped off of the windows, while operating the vehicle. The dealer checked the vehicle for a possible leak and could not find the source of the problem. Kia was notified and it would take several weeks before anything could be done to correct the problem. The consumer is concerned that the leakage may damage or destroy the interior of the vehicle. **dimsii IVOQ entry posted after 12/12/02 cut-over to artemis*741842
