WHEN DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD THE VEHICLE WILL START MAKING A CLICKING SOUND AND HERE THE HEAD LIGHTS WILL BLINK AND THE DOORS WILL START MAKING A CLICKING SOUND LIKE YOU ARE LOCKING AND UNLOCKING THE DOORS AND THE EMERGENCY BRAKE LIGHTS WILL COME ON. AND THE TURNING SINGLES WILL BLINK OUT SIDE THE VEHICLE AFTER A WHILE IT GETS VERY ANNOYING THE ONLY WAY TO FIX IT IS TO UNPLUG THE BATTERY BUT NOT ALL THE TIME DOES IT WORK. WE CALLED AND KIA SAID THEY WILL NOT FIX IT DUE TO IT IS OVER 80,000 MILES HOW ARE WE SUPPOSE TO KNOW THIS WHEN WE BOUGHT IT USED. OTHER THINGS HAVE HAPPENED LIKE THE ESC THE GAS PEDDLE WOULD SHUT DOWN WHEN DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY, CITY ROADS JUST ANYWHERE AND THERE AGAIN WE HAD TO FIX IT DUE TO IT ONLY HAD 68500 MILES IN THE SPRING OF 2013. YOU WOULD THINK SINCE KIA WANTS PEOPLE TO BUY THERE VEHICLES THAT THEY SHOULD REPAIR THE VEHICLES THAT THEY MADE FOR US PEOPLE TO DRIVE HOW OUR WE SUPPOSE TO KNOW THAT THERE IS A TIME LIMIT ON THE VEHICLES THAT WE BUY. AND IF KIA WOULD ALSO OFFER EXTENDED ELECTRICAL WARRANTY WHEN WE BUY IT THEN MAYBE WE WOULD GET IT BUT THEY DID NOT. WE BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE FROM ENTERPRISE RENTAL SO HOW OUR WE TO KNOW ABOUT ALL THIS CRAP THAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN TO THE VAN WHEN WE DO NOT GET INFORMED.THE VAN STILL MAKES A CLICKING SOUND AND THE ONLY WAY FOR THEM TO FIX IT IS IF IT MAKES THIS NOISE SO THEY CAN FIND THE PROBLEM TO FIX IT AND I WAS TOLD THAT IT COULD COST FROM $1800-$3200 AND HERE WE ARE ON SSID AND KIA DOES NOT CARE ONE BIT ABOUT THERE CUSTOMERS ALL THEY CARE ABOUT IS THAT GOD O MIGHTY $$ THE ONLY WAY THAT THEY WILL FIX IT IS IF SOMEONE GETS KILLED DUE TO THIS PROBLEM. I LOVE KIA TO ME IT IS AS GOOD AS A DODGE BUT IF THEY TREAT THEIR CUSTOMERS LIKE THIS THEN I WILL GO ELSE WHERE. AND MAYBE I WILL GO BACK DRIVING MY OLD VEHICLE THAT DOES NOT NEED ELECTRIC TO ROLL DOWN WINDOWS, OR LOCK A DOOR.

Oct 17, 2013

Gulft Stream Coach (Gulf Stream) is recalling certain model year 2007-2013 Cavalier, lnnsbrook, Conquest, Amerilite, Stream lite, Emerald Bay, Fire Fly, V Stream Ultra, Mako, Gulf Breeze, Side Track, Matrix, Mini Superlite, Zero Gravity, Visa, Capri, Northern Express, Vista, Aztec, Yellowstone, Prairie Schooner, G Force, Max Wide Open, Endura Max, Canyon Trail, Sedona, Ridgeline, Kingsport, Trail Master, Sky and Bull Dog travel trailers manufactured January 1, 2006, through April 25, 2013 and equipped with Fastec-brand door locks. It may be possible to remove the key from the lock in a way that potentially jams the deadbolt.

Consequence & remedy

Consequence: If the deadbolt jams, the interior side of the door lock may also jam. A person inside the travel trailer at the time will then be locked in and be unable to exit the vehicle without using the emergency exit, increasing the risk of injury.

Remedy: Gulf Stream will notify owners, and Fastec will coordinate the inspection and replacement of the cylinders, as needed, free of charge. The recall began on December 20, 2013. Owners may contact Fastec at 1-800-837-2505 or Gulf Stream at 1-574-773-7761. Gulf Stream's recall number is 13FI-1013.
