 I was so excited when I first got my 
Kia...however, 2 wks later my battery 
died, it took Kia 2 days to replace it. 
Then my power steering went out (car 
had only 400 miles on it by then!). Now 
A/C makes rattling noises and 
transmission is going out - has 
22,000miles and I really baby my car, 
do not drive it tough!  Trying 
desperately to get rid of it - low 
resale value though. My dealership 
won't give out rentals while repairs 
are being done & the repair shop is 
ALWAYS packed!  --  BE WARNED --
