Sephia

  • miles
During the past week, I have had to have both drive axles replaced on my 1997 Kia Sephia (at a cost of over $400) due to a vibration when the vehicle is moving. Unfortunately, this hasn't completely resolved my problem. I have been informed of a couple of things that I think should point to the need for a recall: (1) this problem is unique to the 1997 model year; (2) mid-way through the 1997 model year, the design for the drive axels was changed and my vehicle was manufactured prior to this change. Surely a change during the manufacturing year would indicate a design flaw.
