Asked by Guru9NK8GP Feb 03, 2022 at 07:16 PM about the 2012 Kia Sportage EX

Question type: General

I have a 2012 Kia Sportage, took my Kia to the dealership for the recall for
the engine  called Knock Sensor Detection System the dealer said they took
care of the problem gave me the car back and ever since I have taken the
car back 4 times and ever since I took it for the recall only now  every time is
something different, now they are telling me is the transmission and its going
to cost me $2,500.00 dollars.  I'm soo mad I WILL NEVER BUY A KIA AGAIN
I DON'T RECOMEND THEM THEY ARE YUNK CARS!!! I paid $30,000
dollars for the car it only has 12600 miles kept all oil changes up to date I
took good care of my car.  I don't advise anybody to buy these yunk cars buy
a Toyota they last a long time I know people who has toyotas with 200 miles
and still going good.

Never go to a dealership after warranty expires. Independent shops that have a good rating are the best place to go for repairs. Unfortunately you did buy one of the worse vehicles out there.
