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.
During the past week, I have had to have both drive axles replaced on my 1997 Kia Sephia (at a cost of over $400) due to a vibration when the vehicle is moving. Unfortunately, this hasn't completely resolved my problem. I have been informed of a couple of things that I think should point to the need for a recall: (1) this problem is unique to the 1997 model year; (2) mid-way through the 1997 model year, the design for the drive axels was changed and my vehicle was manufactured prior to this change. Surely a change during the manufacturing year would indicate a design flaw.
