| I have a 2004 kia sorrento which i purchased new. it currently had 64,000 mile and i have kept up with all maintenance items and have had them performed by kia service in the dealership. while i have had some mechanical problems with the car (bad lifters, valves, radiator leaks, etc), my main issue is the electrical system. to date, i have replaced various brake light bulbs, headlight bulbs, dome light bulb and my radio unexplainable turns on/off. while i have dealt with these issues as they arise, my car has now turned of while driving on the road twice. on both occasions, all of the car lights, displays, etc, turn off completely and the car simply coasts while off. one of the occurrences i was on the interstate going 65 mph, and the car shut down. both times i pull to the side of the road and when i turned the key, it started again. my obvious concern is that of safety as it relates to the various electrical problems (which are no longer covered under warranty) which this car has had. while i cannot speak for other kia owners, there are a host of forums which relate to similar issues. additionally, the dealerships themselves are aware of the electrical issues, as noted to me personally by one of the technicians. i am requesting for kia to provide the level of customer service which we (as kia owners) have expected. the electrical problems are well documented and should be addressed. furthermore, i am looking for assistance in my personal situation now that my car is only 4,000 out of warranty and has the electrical issues and more importantly the hazardous problem of shutting down. i am more that happy to provide any records which will document the problems detailed above. also, i am available anytime to discuss further if needed. thank you in advance for your customer service. *tr | |||
