I PURCHASED MY KIA SPORTAGE ON 7/14/98. ON 11/20/98, MY BATTERY WAS DEAD. I TOOK MY SPORTAGE TO THE DEALER FOR THE RECALL FOR THE STEERING INTERMEDIATE SHAFT COUPLING AS SOON AS I RECEIVED THE RECALL NOTICE. MY BRAKES MADE A "SQUEALING" SOUND SINCE PURCHASE, BUT I WAS INFORMED BY THE DEALERSHIP THAT THIS IS NORMAL FOR DISC BRAKES. THE BRAKE LIGHT BEGAN FLICKERING, THEN STAYING LIT SO I MADE AN APPOINTMENT WITH THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPT. BUT WAS UNABLE TO KEEP IT DUE TO ILLNESS. THE BRAKES NOW HAVE A "GRINDING" SOUND AND I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THEIR SAFETY FACTOR. IN AUGUST OF 1998 I WAS STUCK IN TRAFFIC FOR OVER 2 HOURS DUE TO A BAD HIGHWAY ACCIDENT AND THE RADIATOR OVERHEATED SO I HAD TO TURN OFF, AND KEEP OFF, THE A/C. RECENTLY, THE ENGINE IS OVERHEATING AND FLUID DRAINS WHEN THE CAR IS PARKED. I FEEL THAT THIS IS A LOT OF PROBLEMS FOR A NEW CAR LESS THAN 9 MONTHS "OLD". COULD THESE PROBLEMS BE DEFECTS? COULD THE BRAKE PROBLEM BE ASSOCIATED WITH THE RECALL PROBLEM? THANK YOU FOR THIS OPPORTUNITY TO REPORT MY PROBLEMS AND CONCERNS.

VEHICLE WOULD DRIFT FROM LEFT TO RIGHT WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKES. ALSO, THE BRAKES WOULD LOCK UP & VEHICLE WOULD GO INTO A SPIN. VEHICLE WOULD BOUNCE UP & DOWN AS IF NO SHOCKS. HAD TAKEN VEHICLE TO DEALER 4 TIMES & HAD IT TEST DRIVEN. ROTORS WERE CHANGED. THE PROBLEM COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED OR FOUND. *AK

VEHICLE IS SOLD AS SUTOMATIC FOUR WHEEL DRIVE, ENCOURAGING DRIVERS TO DRIVE IN HAZARDOUS CONDITIONS. WHEN I REALIZED THAT INDEED I DID NOT HAVE AUTOMATICE FOUR WHEEL, (RESULTING FROM GOING OFF THE ROAD AND GETTING STUCK IN SNOW BANK) THE DEALER STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER KNOWS THAT THIS PROBLEM EXISTS WITH THIS VEHICLE. I WAS GIVEN MANUAL HUBS AS A "FIX". MY PROBLEM IS THAT 1) THIS IS NOT WHAT I BOUGHT. 2) THE SAFETY IMPLICATIONS OF THE MANUFACTURER NOT NOTIFYING OWNERS OF THE PROBLEM. 3) SAFETY ISSUES WITH HAVING TO DISMOUNT VEHICLE IN BAD WEATHER TO CHANGE HUBS.

ON CERTAIN PASSENGER VEHICLES, THE SAFETY BELT BUCKLE MAY "FALSE LATCH" AND EXPOSE THE DRIVER TO UNRESTRAINED MOVEMENT DURING A CRASH.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH, THE SEAT OCCUPANT MAY NOT BE PROPERLY RESTRAINED, INCREASING THE RISK OF PERSONAL INJURY.
Remedy: OWNER NOTIFICATION BEGAN DECEMBER 20, 2002. OWNERS WHO TAKE THEIR VEHICLES TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER ON AN AGREED UPON SERVICE DATE AND DO NOT RECEIVE THE FREE REMEDY WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME SHOULD CONTACT KIA AT 1-800-333-4542.
VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: SPORT UTILITY VEHICLES. THE WIRES CONNECTED TO THE C123 AND C124 CONNECTORS CAN BE PUT UNDER TENSION BY MOVEMENT OF THE ENGINE, THUS PULLING THE WIRES AND CONNECTORS, LOOSENING THEM AND RESULTING IN A LOSS OF CIRCUIT CONTINUITY.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: THIS CONDITION CAN CAUSE ENGINE STALLING, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL INSTALL SPRING CLIPS TO LOCK THE CONNECTORS TOGETHER. IN ADDITION, THE DEALERS WILL BE INSTRUCTED TO SOLDER A SPLICE IN THE WIRE HARNESS.
VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: SPORT UTILITY VEHICLES WITHOUT AN ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM (ABS). THE STEERING INTERMEDIATE SHAFT COUPLING CAN CONTACT A HYDRAULIC BRAKE PIPE CAUSING FLUID LEAKAGE.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: THIS CONDITION CAN CAUSE A LOSS OF REAR BRAKE INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL INSPECT AND, IF NECESSARY, INCREASE THE CLEARANCE BETWEEN THE BRAKE PIPE AND STEERING INTERMEDIATE SHAFT COUPLING.
