 I dont know how or where to start.  This car has been giving me problems from the start.  The engine light goes on and off. The transmission has been replaced 3 times, the computer once, the alternator 1 time; the struts have been replaced twice.  OMG! It has been my worse nightmare. I have missed so many days of work because of this.  I wanted to sell it, but of course Kia does not hold their value. After I paid over 15,000 for this car, I only get $2,000 after 5 years with only 55,000 miles on it.  I swear I would rather walk to work everyday before I buy another Kia.  PLEASE do some research before you buy a Kia...  They might be affordable, but you will pay so much at the end.
