In May 5, 2003 I took to inspect the car for a noise at the back. Its like being on a plane for departure. I was told by the dealer that the back differentials was damaged. It only had 25,317 mileage in 2003. I could not believe that. This year 2005 a inspect the car at wester auto I was told the differential is damage. At the store I was told they have seen others Kia Sportage with the same problems. I also when to ped boys. Also, they said verb there were problems Kia differential. At wester auto I change the back bearing thinking that will fix the noise. Kia dealer estimate the repair for $865 on 2003.
