problem #1

Sep 252012

Sportage LX 2.4L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 1,531 miles

There is a noise above my head across the visors and dome light. I have had it in 4 times and the engineers of Kia stated that it is a known problem with the Sportage but there is no fix for it. I don't understand how a company can keep making the car and selling it without disclosing it with the customer. That is BAD business but their solution is trying to put me in a more expensive car where my car payment will go up. I DID NOT pay $30,00+ for a car that sounds like metal is shifting. It is especially bad when it is warm outside so since I live in Texas you can only imagine the issues I hear. I am very displeased with KIA. I had always own a Toyota and then tried a Kia. This will be my last car bought from them unless they come up with a great solution. This is only the first issue I have with the Sportage.
