MY SEATBELT WOULD STICK, I WOULD HAVE A HARD TIME GETTING IT TO GO IN AND PULL OUT. EVENTUALLY IT JUST STOPPED ALL TOGETHER. SO NOW MY DRIVER SEAT IS UNABLE TO WEAR A SEATBELT BECAUSE IT WILL NOT GO IN AT ALL. IT HAPPENS WHILE BOTH IN MOTION OR WHILE SITTING. IT STARTED MESSING UP ABOUT 70,000 MILES, NOW I'M ON 76,458 AND UNABLE TO USE MY SEATBELTS WHICH IS A HAZARD AND AGAINST THE LAW. *TR

WHEN I TURN THE CAR KEY TO THE 1ST POSITION ( BEFORE THE CAR START ON) I HEAR A NOISE ( LIKE A BOILING WATER) COMING FROM A DASH BOARD. I TOOK MY CAR TO OLATHE KIA, KS THEY CAN NOT FIGURE OUT THE PROBLEM. I AM SEEKING SOLUTION FROM KIA ORGANISATION.

ALL OF A SUDDEN CAR STARTED MAKING LOUD CLANKING SOUND WHEN DRIVING. COULD NOT ACCELERATE. CAR WAS IN MOTION ON A CITY STREET. TOWED CAR TO KIA DEALER AND TECH SAID HE CAN NOT FIND A REASON FOR THE PROBLEM BUT THE INTERNAL PART OF THE ENGINE FAILED

THE CAR KEEPS CUTTING OFF WHILE DRIVING. WAS TOLD BY THE MECHANIC AT FIRST THAT IT WAS THE OIL PUMP. GOT IT IN THE SHOP AND THEY SAID AFTER INSPECTION THAT THE OIL PUMP IS WORKING FINE, BUT IS ONLY PUSHING 1 PSI OF PRESSURE INTO THE ENGINE. THEY SAID THE ENGINE IS SHOT AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. IT CUTS OFF WHEN WE ARE IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC.

MY ENGINE IS MAKING TERRIBLE NOISES, IT IS FULL OF OIL, REGULAR MAINTENANCE HAS BEEN PRFORMED, OIL PRESSURE LIGHT CONTINIES TO COME ON AND NOE CAR HAS STARTED DIEING AT RANDOM TIMES WHILE DRIVING VEHICLE
