 I actually bought a 1999 model but I am 
sure that it still applies.  
 I wished I had read the reviews on this 
SUV before I bought it.  I think I 
would have thought it out a little more 
had I read the other reviews.
 In the first six months of my having 
this SUV the battery died.  The car's 
transmission was recalled in the first 
year.  One of the rear seat belts broke 
in the second year.  This year there is 
a missing washer on the rear driver's 
side door which sounds like the window 
isn't closed, that sound of rushing air 
all the time is annoying!
 My mother told me to never buy another 
Korean made car, and we are Korean!
