Kia Motor Spectra 2007 Reviews
'06 Sedona, using a/c one day, went to turn fan down, no control over fan, it stayed at same speed, further checking shows a/c will not turn off or adjust temp or recirculate or heat, it just blows cold 24/7 Purchased a 2006 Kia Optima... 103800 miles and the piston shot out of the motor.. Headlights kept burning out, Airbag light on all the time, rear seat belts that would stick and not pull out to use. Front end rattles (stabilizer arm) I have a 2007 optima 4cyl eng. i drove 134 miles today came home shut eng. off. went back out car would not start after 30 min's, temp out side was 29 deg. f, what's the problem??? 2004 Optima 4 cyl: Have problem with front breaks locking. Problem starts slowly as you drive. After a while the break pedal becomes very stiff and the brakes lock up solid. Only solution is to let the car sit for an hour. In my internet What about the air? and what kind of electrical problems are you having? Me gustaria saber si podemos encontrar informacion en espa^ol. Tenemos una guagua Kia Sedona 2003 y hemos tenido problemas con ella. Entre estos se encuentran los siguientes: 1. Problemas con el aire y 2. Problemas con el sistema electrico. Graci Me gustaria saber si podemos encontrar informacion en espa^ol. Tenemos una guagua Kia Sedona 2003 y hemos tenido problemas con ella. Entre estos se encuentran los siguientes: 1. Problemas con el aire y 2. Problemas con el sistema electrico. Gracia an error had appeaer and the code is : we have a 2011 Kia Soul that is doing the same thing. Everytime we take it to the dealer, they can't replicate the problem. My research has shown several people with 2011 Kia Souls are having this issue. I think Kia needs to issue a recall and I didn't realize this posted on the general forum. We have been having intermittent horn problems
It has done this for about two month
