2006 Kia Spectra

THE TRANSMISSION KEEPS STALLING AND JOLTING THE CAR, WE CANNOT RUN THE AIR CONDITIONER AND IT ONLY RUNS WHEN IN 3RD GEAR. THERE IS DEFINITELY SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE CAR AND WE DON'T EVEN FEEL SAFE PUTTING OUR CHILDREN IN THE CAR, BECAUSE IT'S NOT SAFE, AND WE CANNOT RUN THE AIR CONDITIONER WITHOUT IT STALLING OR JOLTING AND NOT ACCELERATING PROPERLY. WE HAD THE TIMING BELT REPLACED IN SEPTEMBER 2018, WE'VE HAD MULTIPLE OIL CHANGES AND KEPT UP WITH MAINTENANCE. HOWEVER THE PROBLEMS HAVE ONLY GOTTEN WORSE, OUR CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAS BEEN ON SINCE 02/2019 AT LEAST AND WE'VE PUT STEERING FLUID IN, BUT THE PROBLEMS KEEP GETTING WORSE. WE CAN'T RUN THE AIR CONDITIONER, OUR FUSES KEEP BLOWING AND I WOULD LIKE OUR CAR CHECKED OUT AND FIXED.

DEFECTIVE LOCKING SYSTEM ON DRIVER SIDE DOOR. HAD IT REPLACED/REPAIRED IN NOV OF 2014 AND AGAIN NOV OF 2015 AND THE PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED AGAIN OCTOBER OF THIS YEAR AND THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT WANTED ME TO PAY AGAIN TO FIX THE SAME PROBLEM. I SAID NO. ALREADY PAID FOR THIS REPAIR AND IT HAS BEEN A PROBLEM WITH 15 MODELS OF KIA VEHICLES FROM 2001-2004 AND MORE.

WHEN I FIRST BOUGHT MY CAR USED EVERTHING WORKED LIKE IT SHOULD!!!! 1. FIRST THING WENT OUT WAS MY CLOCK ON DASHBOARD 2. BACK DRIVERS SIDE BRAKE LIGHT WILL NOT WORK WITHOUT REPLACING A NEW BULB EVERY WEEK 3.WINDOW ON REAR PASSENGER DOOR WILL NOT ROLL UP ON PASSENGER SIDE THE DRIVER HAS TO ROLL IT UP 4.CD PLAYER PLAYS WHEN IT WANTS TO , SOMETIMES I CANT GET CD OUT UNTIL ITS READY FOR IT TO COME OUT 5. DRIVER SIDE DOOR HAS A LEAK SOMEWHERE CAUSE WHEN IT RAINS MY FLOOR GETS WET UNDER THE DOOR 6.AIRBAG - THE AIRBAG LIGHT COMES ON WHEN IT WANTS TO ALSO 7. GAS TANK - MOST OF THE TIME YOU HAVE TO PULL UP ON THE HANDLE A FEW TIMES TO EVEN GET THE GAS TANK TO OPEN MY MAIN CONCERNS IS : BRAKE LIGHT NOT WORKING AIRBAGS WINDOW I HAVE CHILDERN THAT RIDE IN MY CAR AND I WANT IT TO BE AS SAFE AS POSSIBLE

ON MARCH 2, 2007, WHILE DRIVING MY 2006 KIA SPECTRA-5 AT HIGH SPEED ON THE INTERSTATE, THE FRONT WINDSHIELD MOLDING BLEW OUT OF THE TRACK ON THE DRIVERS SIDE. I CAME CLOSE TO HAVING AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE IT SCARED ME BEYOND WORDS. I REPORTED IT TO THE DEALER. THE DEALER ORDERED AND REPLACED THE MOLDING WITH NEW PARTS. THE DEALERSHIP PERSONNEL STATED THAT THIS WAS NOT THE FIRST CAR THEY HAD REPLACED THIS MOLDING ON. LAST WEEK, APRIL 8, 2007 THE WINDSHIELD MOLDING POPPED OUT AGAIN. THIS TIME ON BOTH SIDES OF THE WINDSHIELD. THE MOLDING IS STILL IN PLACE ALONG THE TOP OF THE WINDSHIELD. THE DEALER HAS BEEN NOTIFIED. THE DEALER HAS ORDERED A NEW PART. I EXPECT TO HAVE MY CAR REPAIRED AGAIN NEXT WEEK. *JB
