| I got a new car last week.. had all the brakes and fluids, etc. checked and fixed. picked it up friday. drove to work then was leaving work when my foot got stuck between the gas and brake couldn't get it out when i hit a truck it came loose. i very lucky to be alive. i have marks on top and the side of my foot. i really think it should be looked into because the brake and gas are way to close together. *tr | |||

| On march 2, 2007, while driving my 2006 kia spectra-5 at high speed on the interstate, the front windshield molding blew out of the track on the drivers side. i came close to having an accident because it scared me beyond words. i reported it to the dealer. the dealer ordered and replaced the molding with new parts. the dealership personnel stated that this was not the first car they had replaced this molding on. last week, april 8, 2007 the windshield molding popped out again. this time on both sides of the windshield. the molding is still in place along the top of the windshield. the dealer has been notified. the dealer has ordered a new part. i expect to have my car repaired again next week. *jb | |||

| Vehicle was purchased brand new from dealer in 2/06, brought regularly to dealer for any and all warranty/maintenance work. this year vehicle was brought to dealer because at times when the brake were applied the vehicle lurched forward and sounded as if the gas was being applied at the same time. dealer assured this was the abs kicking in , and all was well. the second time this occurred the vehicle in front of ours was hit, and accident report was filed. there was no property damage. the vehicle was again returned to the dealer because the paint was coming off the car below both rear doors on both sides, we were told this was due to salt and sand. however there was no other part of the vehicle effected, and we saw that on the 2007 spectra there has been a guard added to ensure that this did not occur on the 2007 spectra. however we were told that the warranty did not apply because we lived in a salt and sand state. therefore, even though the car was washed weekly, in less than a year ,it will simply continue to rust and we have no recourse.*ak | |||
