What owners wrote
I was wondering if you would know where I can get my vehicle tested for health issues. I purchased a 2002 kia sportage at the end of january 2002. I have a complaint about my vehicle that the dealership does not seem to be able to fix. It has a very strong odor that is coming into the vehicle through the air vents. The dealership has replaced the catalytic converter but it has not helped at all. The dealership does not know what the problem is.
2002 kia sportage. (nar) first oil change, filter replacement, lube, rattling noise under steering wheel, sluggish transmission shifting and excessive brake residue on right front wheel.
