Kia Sportage Reviews

I bought a Kia Sportage about a year ago. The power window on the driver side doesn't work and both cup holders are broken but those are minor. The big thing is it is incredibly unstable. 2 times the vehicle has done a 360in the middle of the highway at low speeds for no reason. I'm scared to death of it. Someone is gonna be killed in this thing.

I bought a 1998 Kia Sportage almost a year and a half ago.I have had nothing but problems with it as well. The biggest problem right now is the air conditioner is leaking into my passenger side floor. Also the door locks unlock and lock while I am driving. My car stalls all the time. There is all kinds of rattling underneath the car,like something is loose, but yet I can't find anything that is. My check engine light comes on for a week then goes off, but yet comes back on again. I took this vehicle to try and buy a new one (not a Kia) and they were willing to give me $2300. I still owe almost $7000 on this car that I believe won't last me another year. I wouldn't buy a Kia ever again and I wish I could get out of the one I have now.

I have a KIA Sportage 2000, purchased it new. Since we have had it the heat shield rattles so loud you have to turn the vehicle off when you go thru the order window at the drive thru! Also we have had transmission problems and electrical problems. The entire electrical system shorted out. We have had this in to the shop several times. They have never been able to get the heat shield fixed.

I own a 98 KIA Sportage. I am convinced the KIA has a stalling problem and an engine surging problem that I would call dangerous. I can't tell you how many times I have pulled into traffic and had my car almost stall on me. After reading the KIA problem web page I am very concerned that I can't do anything about a problem that is inherently wrong with this car.
