I WAS TOLD BY A MECHANIC THAT WORKED ON THE BRAKES THAT THE FRAME WAS ROTTED IN THE FALL OF 2009. I CHANGED THE EXHAUST MYSELF IN THE FALL OF 2010 AND SAW THE FRAME WAS ROTTED SO BAD THAT I COULD PUT MY HAND COMPLETELY THROUGH SEVERAL OF THE HOLES AND NOTICED SEVERAL CRACKS. IN MARCH OF 2011 THE CENTER LINK FOR THE REAR AXLE BROKE FREE FROM THE ROTTED FRAME AND FELL DOWN ON TOP OF THE DRIVE SHAFT. I DID 2 DAYS WORTH OF VERY CREATIVE WELDING TO PUT IT BACK TOGETHER. IN APRIL OF 2011 GAS TANK BEGAN TO LEAK. PUT CAR UP ON JACK STANDS TO REMOVE GAS TANK AND FOUND THE FRAME HAD BROKEN ABOVE LEFT REAR COIL SPRING, THE CROSS MEMBER JUST IN FRONT OF THE REAR BUMPER HAS A 3-4 INCH GAP (ROTTED THROUGH-NO METAL LEFT) AND THE REAR AXLE HAS SHIFTED OVER ABOUT 4" CAUSING THE RIGHT REAR TIRE TO RUB AGAINST THE SHOCK. I AM SHOCKED THAT A CAR CAN ROT THIS BAD IN ONLY 10 YEARS AND THERE IS STILL NO RECALL. WTF!!!!! *TR

2000 KIA SPORTAGE. CONSUMER STATES SEVERAL PROBLEMS WITH VEHICLE *TGW THE CONSUMER STATED HE HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE 4-WHEEL DRIVE NOT OPERATING PROPERLY. WHEN THE 4-WHEEL DRIVE WOULD ENGAGE, IT WOULD CAUSE TREMENDOUS FRICTION WHICH CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO SLOW DOWN DRASTICALLY. ALSO, WHEN IT WAS ENGAGED IN A TURNING MODE, THE FRONT GEAR WOULD SLIP. THE GAS TANK SHIELD WAS THREE QUARTERS OF THE WAY ROTTED DUE TO RUST AND THERE SEEMED TO BE MINOR GAS SEEPAGE UNDER WHAT WAS LEFT OF THE TANK SHIELD. THE CHASSIS FRAME RAILS, BOTH REAR SIDES WERE APPROXIMATELY 85% ROTTED OUT BY RUST. THE CONSUMER WAS INFORMED BY SEVERAL REPAIR SHOPS THAT THE RAILS COULD NOT BE REPAIRED DUE TO THE FACT THAT THERE WAS VERY LITTLE GOOD METAL TO REPAIR AND STRENGTHEN THE VEHICLE FRAME. *JB

I REALIZE THE CAR IS 10 YEARS OLD BUT IT ONLY HAS 54,500 ORIGINAL MILES ON IT. KIA SHOULD HAVE BEEN MADE TO RECALL ALL OF THE 2000 SPORTAGES AND FORCED TO FIX THEM. THERE ARE FAR TOO MANY OF THESE STILL ON THE ROAD AND THEY HAVE BECOME A SAFETY HAZARD. THIS NOT A MATTER OF LACK OF MAINTENANCE, THE CAR HAS BEEN WELL CARE FOR. THIS IS A MATTER OF A MANUFACTURE BEING ALLOWED TO GET AWAY WITH SELLING AN INFERIOR PRODUCT. TIME THE NHTSA STEPS IN AND PROTECTS THE AMERICAN CONSUMER. *TR

ON CERTAIN PASSENGER AND SPORT UTILITY VEHICLES, THE FRONT SAFETY BELT BUCKLES MAY EMIT A "CLICK" SOUND DURING THE BUCKLING PROCESS THAT IS SIMILAR TO THE SOUND EMITTED WHEN A BUCKLE IS BEING LATCHED, WHEN IT IS NOT.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: THE LATCH CAN THEN PULL OUT OF THE BUCKLE WHEN TENSION IS APPLIED.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL REPLACE BOTH FRONT SEAT BELT BUCKLES. THE RECALL BEGAN AUGUST 16, 2004. OWNERS SHOULD CONTACT KIA AT 1-800-333-4542.
VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: SPORT UTILITY VEHICLE. THESE VEHICLES WERE DISTRIBUTED WITH OWNERS MANUALS WITH AN INCORRECT JUMP START DIAGRAM. THE WRITTEN INSTRUCTIONS FOR JUMP STARTING ARE ACCURATE. HOWEVER, THE DIAGRAM DEPICTS THE JUMPER CABLES ATTACHED TO THE WRONG POLARITY TERMINALS. IF THE DIAGRAM WERE FOLLOWED WITHOUT REFERENCE TO THE INSTRUCTIONS, THE RESULTING IMPROPER CONNECTIONS COULD CAUSE THE BATTERY TO RUPTURE AGGRESSIVELY DUE TO INCREASED INTERNAL PRESSURES.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: THIS COULD CAUSE POTENTIAL SERIOUS INJURY TO BYSTANDERS.
Remedy: OWNERS WILL BE PROVIDED WITH AN ADHESIVE LABEL WITH THE CORRECT ILLUSTRATION TO PERMANENTLY AFFIX TO THEIR RESPECTIVE OWNERS MANUALS.
