| On or about september 26, 2004, purchased a 2004 kia amanti. since that time, the vehicle has undergone a multitude of problems, many of which kia has been unable to fix. since its purchase, the vehicle has exhibited air conditioning problems, electrical circuit problems, battery problems, water leaks, recurring engine light problems and, most recently, shaking and lurching issues which have rendered the vehicle unsafe to operate. although some of these issues were rectified, it appears that the vehicle continues to exhibit additional problems one right after another. in fact, the rear brake light and windshield leak required six separate visits to ontario kia due to the fact that kia could not locate the source of the problem. although the car is still relatively new, dr. oh has already purchased a car battery, two brakes, and four new tires (excluding other repair costs not covered by warranty). over the course of the past month, the air conditioning unit fails to operate satisfactorily. over the course of the past several weeks, dr. oh has continued to drive the vehicle notwithstanding the air conditioning problems and the continuous shaking and bouncing issues. *jb | |||

| Tl* - the contact stated that after parking her 2004 kia amanti with an odometer reading of 67000 miles, she noticed the low beam head light on the front passenger side had failed. at 73000 miles the bright beam on the vehicle's head lights failed, as well as, the day time running lights. the contact stated that she paid to get the lights replaced over five times. the contact is requesting that this be looked into because she is in fear of a vehicle fire and the manufacture stated that the vehicle needed a complete vehicle rewiring. | |||
