BOYCOTT KIA "Back To Korea, See Ya Kia"
I am the previous owner of a 1998 Kia Sephia, and it was the biggest piece of crap I've ever owned. I took an $8000.00 loss
on it after just 3 months of ownership because I was afraid to drive the damn car anywhere, and the dealer refused to let
me trade it back in on anything he had on his lot. So I promised him that day that I was going home to build a website to
let people know all about Kia vehicles and their safety problems, recalls, etc. - and this website will be here until I die.
I have decided to include some copies of authentic Kia tickets & recall notices on this website to help you decide whether
or not you should be considering the purchase of a new Kia vehicle or looking for something else.

ANOTHER RECALL
October 8, 2005; Posted: 10:30 p.m. EDT (0230 GMT)
Chrysler, GM, Hyundai and Kia in recalls
Over 450,000 vehicles recalled for defects including faulty transmissions, power steering and wires.
DETROIT (Reuters) - Four automakers are recalling over 450,000 vehicles in the United States for a range of defects, U.S.
safety regulators said on Friday.
The Chrysler arm of Germany's DaimlerChrysler is recalling nearly 256,409 Dodge Dakota pickup truck, Dodge Durango, Jeep
Liberty and Jeep Wrangler sport utility vehicles, Chrysler 300 sedans and Dodge Magnum wagons from the 2005 model year because
of a problem that may cause the vehicles to roll away while in 'park' position, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration
said.
Separately, General Motors Corp. is recalling 123,592 pickup trucks, SUVs, vans and cars because of potential power steering
problems that could lead to engine fires, NHTSA said.
NHTSA said the power steering hose, under extreme steering maneuvers, may break and leak fluid. This could result in increased
braking effort and also, if the power steering fluid spray were to spray onto hot engine parts, an engine compartment fire
could occur.
Vehicles affected by the recall include the Chevrolet Corvette sports car, Buick Rainer, Cadillac Escalade, Tahoe, Trailblazer,
GMC Envoy, Yukon, Hummer H2 and Isuzu Ascender SUVs, Chevrolet Express and Savana vans, Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra
pickup trucks. All the vehicles are from the 2006 model year, NHTSA said. The Corvette, Silverado and Sierra models from the
2005 model year are also being recalled.
Also, Kia Motors Corp. is recalling 74,276 Sedona minivans from 2002 to 2004 model years equipped with power seats because
a problem with the wiring under the front seats could cause a fire.
Kia's affiliate, Hyundai Motor Co., is recalling 12,000 Santa Fe SUVs from the 2005 model year because of a problem with
the occupant classification system, NHTSA said.
The occupant classification system installed in the front passenger seat of the vehicle may mistakenly identify a child
seat as an adult passenger, NHTSA said.

My damn car is in the shop again,
and they never give you a loner
while their waiting for your parts to
come in from Korea, and I'm tired of
pedaling my ass off!
For those of you who may not already know, Hyundai Motor Company now owns 51% of Kia Motors America. Now I have seen some
people bad mouth the Kia but will drive and love the Hyundai - my friend there is no difference between them, even the parts
are now interchangeable. Hyundai Motor America, based in Fountain Valley, California is a subsidiary of Hyundai Motor Company
of Korea. Kia Motors America is the U.S. sales, marketing and service arm of Kia Motors Corporation in Seoul, Korea. The Hyundai
Automotive Group (which consists of Hyundai Motor America and Kia Motor America in the United States).
