2007 KIA SPECTRA Complaints

2007 KIA SPECTRA. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO REPLACEMENT/REPAIRS OF DAMAGED VEHICLE SEAT BELTS. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED SHE HAD T PAY $500 TO GET THE REAR SEAT BELT REPLACED. *JB

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 KIA SPECTRA. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE TRANSMISSION WOULD SUDDENLY SHIFT OUT OF GEAR AND THE SPEED REDUCED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE WIRE HARNESS TO THE TRANSMISSION WAS FAULTY AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 51,000.

I BOUGHT THE CAR AT 50K MILES AND STARTED HAVING ISSUES. SEAL FOR WINDSHIELD POPPING OUT,AIRBAG LIGHT ON PASSENGER SIDE STAYS ON CONSTANTLY TRANSMISSION JERKING,AND DOORS AUTO LOCKING IN PARK POSITION. BALL JOINTS NO GOOD AND HAD TO PAY PUT OF POCKET. REFUSED TO COVER WARRANTY BECAUSE I DIDN'T BUY THE CAR NEW. HAVE TO CALL LOCKSMITH TO GET KEYS OUT,CAUSE I REFUSE TO BRAKE WINDOWS,THAT ALSO ARE MISALIGNED ON DRIVERS SD CAUSING IT TO NOT CLOSE FULLY. SHAME THEY CAN'T WARRANTY THEIR CAR YET ONLY CONVENIENT COVER ONLY BUYER...SMH REFUSED

THE CAR DOORS LOCK RANDOMLY WHILE DRIVING, WHILE PARKED, EVEN IN PARK WITH THE CAR RUNNING--I GOT LOCKED OUT WITH THE CAR RUNNING FOR OVER 2 HOURS A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO. I HAVE LEARNED TO HAVE A WINDOW OPEN IF I EXIT THE CAR WHILE IT IS RUNNING OR TO MAKE SURE THE KEYS ARE IN MY HANDS ANY TIME I EXIT THE CAR. THEY ALSO LOCK AND UNLOCK REPEATEDLY WHEN I AM TRYING TO UNLOCK THE DOORS TO ENTER THE VEHICLE. WITH SO MANY PEOPLE EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEMS WITH THIS CAR, WHY IS THIS NOT BEING ADDRESSED?

PASSENGER AIR BAG LIGHT IS ON AND REMAINS ON--APPARENTLY THIS INDICATES THAT THE PASSENGER AIR BAG IS DEFECTIVE. WHY IS THIS NOT RECALLED WHEN SO MANY COMPLAIN OF THE SAME PROBLEM IN THIS YEAR AND MODEL CAR?

OWNER OF THE 2007 KIA SPECTRA BROUGHT THE CAR TO ME TO HAVE TO LOOKED AT DUE TO THE AIRBAG LIGHT BEING ON. UPON SCANNING THE COMPUTER IN THE CAR THE SRS SYSTEM CODED B1448 WHICH IS THE PASSENGER SIDE OCS MAT SENSOR FAILING. THIS PART SHOULD BE UNDER A RECALL DUE TO SAFETY ISSUES FOR THE PASSENGER RIDING IN THE CAR

THE CAR LOCKS AND UNLOCKS REPEATEDLY ON ITS OWN WHEN I'M TRYING TO UNLOCKTHE DRIVER AND/OR PASSENGER DOOR. THE CAR IS ALWAYS STATIONARY WHEN I TRY TO UNLOCK THE DOOR(S), IT WILL SOMETIMES LOCK ON ITS OWN WHEN I'M DRIVING. THIS STARTED HAPPENING ABOUT 2 YEARS AGO.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 KIA SPECTRA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE RPMS REVVED VIOLENTLY. WHEN DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL, THE VEHICLE JERKED WITHOUT WARNING. IN ADDITION, WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED, THE VEHICLE SURGED FORWARD CONTINUOUSLY. THE FAILURES RECURRED NUMEROUS TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE THE FAILURE WAS UNABLE TO BE DETERMINED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 64,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 KIA SPECTRA. WHEN THE CONTACT STARTED THE VEHICLE, THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED EVERY TIME THE VEHICLE WAS STARTED.

I HAVE A 2007 KIA SPECTRA AND THE WIRES TO THE FAN CONTROLLER ARE MELTING. I RESEARCHED THE PROBLEM AND FOUND A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SOME PROBLEM AND KIA DOES NOT HAVE A SOLUTION FOR THE PROBLEM. THESE WIRES GET VERY HOT AND I AM CONCERNED ABOUT A FIRE HAZARD. SO AS IT IS NOW I HAVE NO AC NO HEAT.
