Sportage 4WD

  • miles
The heat shield on my catalytic converter rusted off, the manifold cracked, the muffler rusted through within a year, the widshield wiper transmission broke and was replaced, while the Kia Sportage is engaged in 4WD it pops out into two wheel drive and causes the driver to lose control of the vehicle.this has happened to me numerous times this winter and the recalled parts have now failed again causing Kia to put in manual hubs from 1997 into my 1999 SUV.I feel this is a danger to all who own a Kia Sportage and I have contacted a lawyer to look into possible litigation against Kia.I have found a recall on a previouse modle from 1998 but the components seals are failing in the replacment parts hubs.thank in advance for your time and letting me inform you of this dangerouse situation...ed geisler.
