Kia Sportage 2001 Service Brakes, Hydraulic Power Assist Hydraulic Hoses, Lines/piping, And FittingsKIA SPORTAGE 2001 car safety problem was reported on Nov 21, 2004.KIA SPORTAGE 2001, manufactured by KIA MOTORS AMERICA, INC. had a problem with SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:POWER ASSIST:HYDRAULIC:HOSES, LINES/PIPING, AND FITTINGS . under normal driving conditions, fortunately happened at a parking lot, brake pedal went to the floor. initial investigation revealed leaking brake fluid. further investigation revealed this hose, non-reinforced in any way had split at both ends of connection to metal tube. tube is approximately 1/8" od making id of hose approximately 1/8". wall of hose is very thin perhaps 1/16" or less. this hose is very flexible being quite similar to vacuum hose and must be under high pressure from the braking system. this is extremely hazardous.had this vehicle been traveling on the road at a higher rate of speed and the brake petal gone to the floor as it did when leaving a parking space a dangerous accident could easily and most probably would have occured. when checking the same hose on the other side of the vehicle the hose on the front drivers side is split also. there is no clamp holding thios hose in place. it merely slips onto metal tube on both ends and is split at the end of the connection sith each tube-thats four holes (two tubes). i cannot even begin to imagine the repercussions of this poor engineering design. step on the petal and brake fluid pours out of the splits. this could happen at any time. very, very poor design. this requires immediate action. *ak.Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):KNDJA723615.

Kia Sportage 2001 SuspensionKia Sportage 2001 Suspension Review #10644890 KIA SPORTAGE 2001 car safety problem was reported on Oct 15, 2014.KIA SPORTAGE 2001, manufactured by Kia Motors America had a problem with SUSPENSION . the rear part of the frame just behind the rear suspension rusts from water thrown up by the tires. while this might not normally be a danger unless you were towing, on this model it's where the frame connects to the wheels below to stabilize the frame over the suspension, without this support it releases the back suspension and allows the car to easily rock back and forth into the wheels. i could see shiny spots on the shocks from tire rub where the paint was rubbed off, no current sign of tire damage. i feel this could cause an accident because the shocks, springs or other metal body or frame part could wear or possibly if sharp puncture a tire on either side when cornering. this problem can easily be seen by swinging the spare tire out of it's closed position to open the tailgate, when the tire reaches the end of it's arm the whole back end of the vehicle will move over, the rusted frame below will bend..0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Kia Sportage 2001 problem was reported in BROCKTON, MA.
