Administration on 6/26/20 a dealership made a tenative sale on a usec 2005 vehicle intentionally decieving potential buyer. Vehicle was unsafe to drive as it made misfire and the fluids in vehicle were all missing from each tank. The salesman denied me the right to test drive or opportunity to replenish missing fluids, advising vehicle is as-is. I explained I drove 60 miles one way and was not told the vehicle was as -is or in such terrible condition. Manager refused to assist me or speak with me as I would complain. The salesman said, "take it or leave it"!!! I did not purchase the vehicle but it must be listed as unsafe in a nationwide alert as left driver side impact on doors from bumper to front passenger door, left side fender hanging off, vehicle shaking bad, computer hardware and caps missing on engine.

It began with squeaky noise steering it ended with steering completely locked up undrivable. Mechanic said he saw that alot in that year model. Replaced the steering pump worked ok for 6 months or so & the same thing. Had to tow it. Mechanic said needed to replace the entire rank & pinion & that it may or may not correct the problem. He did some kind of adjustment charged me $250 & I was able to steer. 6 months down the road its doing the same thing esp light comes on a dragging noise& troubles steering. I notice it more maneuvering to park in a space...

The contact owns a 2005 Kia Amanti. While turning the vehicle, an abnormal noise was heard under the vehicle and it failed to operate. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the center piece of the front axle fractured. The vehicle was repaired. The dealer and manufacturer were not contacted. The approximate failure mileage was 104,000.

Just 2days ago my car started jerking real bad and also my transmission felt like it was stalling and the car was loosing acceleration power.then after a short hesitation the vehicle, while backing in the driveway accelerated and was hard to stop.today I noticed a small tremble in the transmission and my car almost went in traffic if I had'nt put the vehicle in neutral and applied force to the brakes, my vehicle was in motion on both incidents, I'm not afraid of my vehicle, but I don't want to cause or be in an accident.
