This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
My clutch started slipping around 36000 miles. I hadn't thought anything about it at first, thinking it was my imagination as I had the car only 3 years. (2006 Kia spectra5. I purchased it at the end of November 2006 with 7 miles on it.). well, 4000 miles later I am told it needs the entire clutch and flywheel replaced. I have driven manual cars for years. The warranty will not cover the replacement ($1300) even though it is 10 yr/100000 miles as they consider the clutch "a wear item". I tried to argue with the dealer that it wasn't wear after just 3 years. I tried to complain to corporate but the number is bogus (800-333-4541). I have replaced the front tires twice in 3 years. Good year Eagle and the brakes twice. It is a front wheel drive.
