Sam sam, thanks for the info sharing. btw, i would like to share more on my sportage issue. if so happen the sportage fan here got some idea how to fix it or any gd SC to reco, hope u guys can share it to me. thanks again very much.. glab got this forum.

my sportage issue, (should be NO.1 in malaysia i got this issue)

1) car body/ sterring vibrate when speed to 50-60 and 80-100 each time. get check n SC suspected long shaft prob. after long waiting for the parts to come n change it, finally got slightly improvement. 50-60 no more vibrate but now 90-100 the vibrate comes again.. its not the aligment nor balancing tyre issue.. my car mileage up to date 43,000km+, coming sixth service.

2) When put heavy footer onto the pedal n doing the acceleration, my car aircond got some gas/oil smell flowing from the aircond. n each time u repeated the same action the smell repeated each times.. get check but till now cant fixed it..

3) during raining, the front head lamp n rear tail lamp got fogging.. n SC said cannot claim, unless water goes in.

4) my car boot lock issue (will check on autoworld forum as sam sam reco)

5) All four door,boot cover, centre console box n dash board storage place got mice sound. i diy myself put sponge..

6) Put the sterring straight, car aligment always going to left, especially on highway. being fixed a lot lot time. doesnt help.

Although my complaint here a lot, but im still enjoy riding on it. its still a very nice car. just hope all the above issue will settle soon.  thumbup.gif

Car alignment always going to left? that sound like my sportage too. just did my 1st service today and ask them to do alignment check. but then i met one guy there, he is the owner of 2006 sorento. He also mention facing the same alignment problem. he mentioned that this car was made for the left hand drive, but then they just switch to right hand drive (i dont really get it, why this has to do with the alignment). the best part is, he already solve the problem by sending his car to a pro tyre shop. situated at glenmarie area, same row as KIA SC, situated at the end of the block with big PIRELLI sign. he said his fren who drives a bmw x5 introduce that shop to him. after he sent his sorento there, no more reoccurring alignment problem. plus, that shop also quote him rm70 only for alignment and balancing. let see if after this my car face the same alignment problem again, i'll send it to this shop too.

For my car, there are few minor things i need them to check, but since i had no time today hav to send it later la

1. rear door, left side is quite difficult to close. Have to "hentam kuat sikit" then the door will properly closed.

2. boot light some time didnt turn on, have to close and open again the boot then it will turn on.

3. one more thing, does our remote button to unlock the car boot function is to unlock the boot only of to open it without pressing the boot button. mine, if i press and hold the "open boot button", only hazard light blink twice as if i unlock the car and still i have to press the button under the boot lid to open the boot. not like forte, it will open by it self we can just lift it up.

To all kia sportage member here,

i do post my car problem here n one of it is the alignment issue..always going to left. i had tried almost 13 diff shop for the past 8 month n the improvement not much. our member here amdadn reccomend the shop at glenmarie shah alam same row with the kia sc at the corner lot Pirelli tyre shop. n today i just went there to do the aligment n balancing. guess wat, bothering me for 8 month aligment issue had been settle today!!!! (90% satisfaction!!) (Im not doing advertisement for them, but to share if anyone got this issue.)
they charge me RM77.00 and i think its really worth it coz they really solve my issue although waiting for 2 hours. but im happy with it! thanks to that guy name GK there! (think im the first sportage visit their shop) hooray!!

with hours and hours waiting and delaying...
still not able to send technician over.
This KIA service is really hopeless and start regretting of getting KIA.

2 things i really disappointed with KIA SC;
1. Their 3S SC didn't provide any complimentary drinks to customer. Not even a water dispenser? I'm not asking for much, but a produa SC is "much more" better than KIA even P2 highest car price only 60k++.
2. This is much more important, i saw quite a few technician working wearing steel watch, bracelet? and even rings? what will happen if they accidentally knock/scratch our car? then will KIA be responsible about this?

Other than that their service was great and even wash the car for free.. rclxms.gif

Im a newbie to this forum and received mine after almost two months of waiting. I received it on 28th March 2012. According to my SA since Naza had an ap problems and upon the arrival of the new cars, they dismantle some part of body and fix them back, they call it skd(semi knockdown) which i never heard of it. However according to SA the car was fully imported but on the hindsight the car was registered as a ckd.  Will the warranty void if i mod the tails light? and where to fix them and what is the quotation?
