Sportage

  • Automatic transmission

The truck would not start at times and kept blowing fuses.. dealer found problem to be in the engine harness connector. Also in 10/03, one night while I was driving home from work late, my truck stulled on me, and the shifter was very loose, took to dealer and they replaced the drive shaft and rear main seal (X3). They have also replaced the cat.convertor X3, timing belt due to abnormal streching, and 2 ignition coils.
