Sportage 4WD

  • miles
One numerous attempts to get these diffrent probelms fixed always something elsewent wrong with the vehicle within a hour or so of time after picking vehicle up from the dealership. I currently have a major engine probelm that still exists with a very strong odor of sulfur smell. Vehicle has left me stranded along roadside with 3 children in it on at least 4 separate occasions. I have contacted the manufacter and they will not repurchase this vechile back nor do they acknowledge current engine probelms and the safety issue of this vechile. I have a techinical no partial party report about this vechile and the ( maufacture will still not repurchase this vechile from me) I need everyone to know what kind of probelms this vechile has given me as of this point only owning this for 6 months with 4000 + miles on it.
