The car has been stalling and starting funny. This car is not running properly. The first time with car would stalling wouldn't go up hill and the engine light come on. The second time car stalled again and caught on fire and went up in smoke. The mechanic said it was the wiring need to be replaced and that the car was running on one vaul. That everything in that section has been burn. And after that the car wouldn't start or say a word. And I was in the middle of the street when it happen. How can 1999 be so much trouble.

This car has been, nonstop, 1 mech problem after another with Kia co & manuf claiming 'normal wear/tear or first heard of problems.' Your site shows that other consumers of same vehicle have all experienced same problems (esp brakes, battery, tires, steering column, fuel assembly).
