EVER SINCE I HAVE OWNED THE CAR, THE AIRBAG LIGHT HAS BEEN ON AND DOES NOT GO OFF UNTIL THE CAR IS OFF. THE RPM GAGE HAS ALWAYS BEEN ERRATIC WHEN DRIVING AT NORMAL SPEEDS. THE CAR LURCHES FORWARD WHEN AT A STOP LIGHT AND WHILE ACCELERATING. THE ENGINE SMELLS AS IF WIRES ARE BURNING AND IT SEEMS INCREASINGLY HOT, BUT THE GAGE STAYS NORMAL. THE GAS TANK CANNOT BE FILLED QUICKLY, I HAVE TO TRICKLE GAS INTO THE TANK BRAKE PADS WEAR DOWN CONSTANTLY. I HAVE ALREADY FILED A COMPLAINT ABOUT THE BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH BEING DEFECTIVE AND THIS SHOULD BE ADDRESSED BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED.

I THINK THE RADIO ISOTOPE ELECTRIC GENERATOR WAS REMOVED FROM THE CAR. THE HEAT AND AIR CONDITIONER WERE NOT KICKING ON AND IT ALSO CAUSED THE BATTERY TO DIE. WE THOUGHT IT WAS THE ALTERNATOR. I DIDNT KNOW IT WAS ELECTRIC. ALSO THE CO2 AND YEAR GAS WERE REMOVED AND NOT SURE IF ANY FIREARMS WERE. THIS WAS 'THE BEAST' I BELIEVE. I RECEIVED A CALL FROM "MIKE" HE MENTIONED I SHOULD ADD IT TO MY CURRENT INSURANCE PLAN BUT I TOLD HIM I ONLY HAD OBAMACARE. GET MY DIAMOND JUBILEE BACK PLEASE!

I READ ABOUT RECALL ON 2007 KIA AMANTI AND THE STOP LAMP SWITCH. IT SAID COULD MAKE IT HARD SHIFT FROM PARK TO GEARS. I OWN A 2005 KIA AMANTI AND YESTERDAY AFTERNOON AFTER DRIVING SEVERAL HOURS WITH NO PROBLEMS, I STARTED IT OUT IN REVERSE IT WAS A SEMI HARD SHIFT THEN PUT INTO DRIVE AND IT WAS A EXTREMELY HARD SHIFT. AS WELL THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I ALSO READ ABOUT A SOFTWARE UPDATE THAT CAN BE DONE BUT CAN NOT FIND HOW TO PREFORM THE UPDATE.

THE DRIVER SIDE FRONT SUB FRAME IS SEVERELY CRACKED AND ROTTING AWAY. ATTEMPTING TO CLEAN UNCOVERS ROAD FILTH AND ROCKS. THIS IS AN OBVIOUS METAL QUALITY DEFECT.

FOR @ 6 MONTHS THE CAR JERKS WHEN I AM DRIVING. WHEN I PRESS THE ACCELERATOR IT WILL DO 2-3 JERKS THAT ARE STRONG ENOUGH TO JERK YOU FORWARD IN YOUR SEAT. IT FEELS AS IF THE CAR HAS FORGOTTEN WHAT GEAR IT IS IN AND IT IS SEARCHING TO FIND IT. OR YOU COULD DESCRIBE IT AS THOUGH IT IS NOT GETTING FUEL WHERE IT IS NEEDED EVEN WHEN YOU HAVE HAD EVEN PRESSURE ON THE ACCELERATOR. THIS HAS MAINLY OCCURRED WHILE DOING ABOUT 40 MPH GOING UP AN INCLINE BUT IT HAS ALSO OCCURRED ON LEVEL DRIVING AREAS WHILE DOING AROUND 40 MPH. MOST RECENTLY THE CAR HAS BEEN JERKING IN TOP GEAR. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER 3 TIMES. JUST YESTERDAY I PICKED IT UP FROM THE DEALER WHO HAD IT FOR A WHOLE 7 DAYS!! THEY WERE ABLE TO RECREATE THE PROBLEM BUT CAN'T FIGURE OUT WHAT IT IS BECAUSE IT DOESN'T REGISTER ON THE OBC. THEY HAD ME DO A $450.00 MAINTENANCE ON IT TO SEE IF IT WOULD HELP AND OF COURSE IT DID NOT. THEY SAID THEY REPROGRAMMED IT BUT THAT DID NOT HELP EITHER. DUE TO THIS PROBLEM, I HAVE EITHER BEEN WITHOUT A VEHICLE FOR DAYS OR HAVE HAD TO RENT A VERY COSTLY RENTAL CAR FOR A WHOLE WEEK. THE DEALER CLAIMS THEY TOOK THE CAR TO THEIR RESIDENCE TO TEST DRIVE IT, (APPROX. 80 MILES) BUT WHEN PICKING THE CAR UP YESTERDAY THEY WERE RUDE ENOUGH NOT TO REPLENISH MY FUEL. WHEN I ASKED THEM ABOUT IT THEY SAID IT WAS NECESSARY TO DO THE ROAD TESTS. AS A CONSUMER WITH A CAR STILL UNDER WARRANTY THEY SHOULD HAVE REPLACED THE GAS AND PAY FOR MY CAR RENTAL. BUT THERE HAS BEEN NO HELP WITH THIS SITUATION AT ALL. NOW I AM SCARED TO DRIVE MY CAR AND I DEPEND ON IT FOR MY PROFESSION. *TR

SEVERAL TIMES, INCLUDING TODAY THE CAR HAS JUMPED FORWARD OR BACKWARD IN REVERSE WHEN PUTTING IT IN GEAR WITHOUT STEPPING ON THE ACCELERATOR. IT HAS OCCASIONALLY MOVED VERY SLOWLY AFTER BEING PUT INTO DRIVE AS IF THE TRANSMISSION WAS IN FOURTH GEAR. THEN WHEN PUSHING FURTHER ON THE GAS PEDAL TO GET IT TO MOVE IT WILL SUDDENLY JUMP INTO FIRST AND TAKE OFF. VISITS TO THE SERVICE AREA WERE FRUITLESS DUE TO THEIR NOT BEING ABLE TO DUPLICATE THE EVENT. THEREWAS APPARENTLY NOTHING STORED IN THE COMPUTER, YET IT KEPT HAPPENING TO US. IT WAS SEVERE ENOUGH TO CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH KIA'S DRIVE BY WIRE SYSTEM, AND IT SHOULD BE FIXED BEFORE SOMEONE WOULD BE INJURED. *AK

IT BEGAN WITH SQUEAKY NOISE STEERING IT ENDED WITH STEERING COMPLETELY LOCKED UP UNDRIVABLE. MECHANIC SAID HE SAW THAT ALOT IN THAT YEAR MODEL. REPLACED THE STEERING PUMP WORKED OK FOR 6 MONTHS OR SO & THE SAME THING. HAD TO TOW IT. MECHANIC SAID NEEDED TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE RANK & PINION & THAT IT MAY OR MAY NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM .

I NOTICE IT MORE MANEUVERING TO PARK IN A SPACE... *TR

MY BATTERY KEEPS DRAINING. IM HAVING AN ISSUE KEEPING IT RUNNING OR EVEN STARTING IT UP. MAY BE HAVING STARTER ISSUES. ALSO MY AIR CONDITIONER AND HEATER ARE NOT COMING ON. RADIATOR PROBLEMS.

I BEGAN TO NOTICE THAT MY CAR WAS" JUMPING" AT STOP LIGHTS ON A CITY STREET; AS IF IT WANTED TO ACCELERATE WHEN THE BRAKE WAS PUSHED. I WENT TO START IT ONE EVENING AND THE BATTERY WAS COMPLETELY DEAD. I GOT A JUMP AND THEN NOTICED THAT THE BRAKE LIGHTS WOULD NOT TURN OFF. I HAD A FRIEND CHECK THE BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH THE FOLLOWING DAY AND HE STATED THAT THE SWITCH WAS SO LOOSE THAT IT FELL INTO HIS HAND. HE TIGHTENED THE SWITCH SO I COULD TRY AND PUT A CHARGE ON THE BATTERY. I GOT THE CAR STARTED BUT THE BATTERY WOULD NOT HOLD A CHARGE, I INSTALLED A NEW BATTERY AND THE CAR STILL FEELS AS THOUGH IT WANTS TO ACCELERATE WHEN PRESSING BRAKE TO STOP. SINCE THEN, I HAVE NOTICED THAT THE DOOR AJAR AND TRUNK OPEN LIGHTS DO NOT WORK AS WELL AS THE INTERIOR COURTESY LIGHTS WHEN THE DOOR IS OPENED. I HAVE ALSO HAD PROBLEMS IN THE PAST WITH NOT BEING ABLE TO GET THE CAR OUT OF PARK. I HAVE REPLACED THE IGNITION SWITCH AS WELL AS OTHER COMPONENTS. I HAD ISSUES WITH THE DIMMER SWITCH WHEN THE LIGHTS ARE LEFT ON AUTO, AND I USE THE FOB TO LOCK THE DOORS; IF I DO NOT TURN THE LIGHTS OFF MANUALLY; THE LIGHTS FLASH UNTIL THE BATTERY DIES. AFTER THE LAST ISSUE WITH THE BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH, I ALSO CAN NOT OPEN THE TRUNK WITH FOB, I CAN ONLY OPEN WITH THE KEY IN THE IGNITION AND SET TO ON POSITION. IT CAN NOT BE OPENED FROM THE OUTSIDE AS WELL. WHEN IT IS COLD OUTSIDE, BELOW 40 DEGREES, THE RADIO SCANS AND WILL NOT STOP. THE CD WILL ONLY WORK IF ONLY ONE DISC IS INSERTED.

SUDDEN ACCELERATION. I WAS PULLING MY KIA AMANTI (WHICH I LOVE) INTO A PARKING STALL IN A VERY CROWDED SUPERMARKET PARKING LOT. I WAS BRAKING TO STOP WHEN MY CAR ACCELERATED. I DID NOT NOTICE THE RPMS. BUT IT ACCELERATED HARD, AND MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE DID NOT STOP IT. I PLOWED INTO THE BACK OF A VEHICLE IN THE OPPOSITE STALL PUSHING IT APPROX 10 FEET BEFORE MY CAR ALSO HIT 10" CEMENT POLE THAT WAS THERE TO PROTECT A POWERPLANT (I THINK) AT THE EDGE OF THE PARKING STRIP. THE POLE STOPPED MY CAR. THERE WAS A COUPLE IN THE CAR I HIT AND A PASSENGER IN MY CAR; EVERYONE WAS BADLY SHAKEN, BUT NOBODY WAS HURT. IF THERE HAD NOT BEEN A POLE THERE MY CAR MIGHT HAVE GONE ON PUSHING THE VEHICLE I HIT UNTIL IT HIT ANOTHER CAR OR, GOD FORBID, A PEDESTRIAN. *TR

THE SHOCKS OF THE TRUNK FAILED CAUSING THE VERY HEAVY TRUNK TO CLOSE SUDDENLY HITTING ME IN THE HEAD. *TR
