Sitting at corner, waiting for light to turn green, pulled out into the intersectionwhile making a left, and vehicle stalled. It had no power, going uphill or in second gear. Driver could put foot on pedal which went straight to the floor. But had not enough power, some hesitation. Contacted dealer.

Fuel gauge was not working properly (reporting empty when ther was still about 5 gallons in tank) - dealer supposedly replaced gauge, but it is still not accurate - also, engine makes awful "squealing" sound when first started in the morning - dealer cannot identify problem "?"

The brakes squeak and the pads were replaced at 1200 miles, the brakes failed again at 6600 miles the rotors were warped and the pads were worn and I returned the car to northwestern Dodge and Kia and they replaced the pads and machined the rotors, however the stering wheel shakes and vibrates when I drive on the expressway and the brakes are still grinding. The stering wheel and column vibrates and shakes when I drive at 50+ mph. At 6600 miles the check engine light illuminated and there is a burning smell. The car dies out when I am at a stand still for no reason and without any warning. I have to start the car at least 3 times before it turns over. Overall I would say that I am disappointed with the car and the moment that I can trade it in I plan to do so and I will advise anyone who is thinking about purchasing this car to not even consider a Kia (any model) because they are not well made cars.
