While driving at any speed and without warning vehicle will stall. Dealer has been notified, and stated vehicle has recall 99V325000 on wire harness, and has been serviced. However, consumer never received recall notice or had serviced vehicle on wire harness. Contacted manufacturer, and recall information was confirmed. Manufacturer will not release notification by mail only verbatim by phone.

Sportage 4WD

4-wd not working, hubs not locking. Engine is straining as if in 4WD, indicator light is lit, leading you to believe you are safely in 4WD, but the back tires are spinning and the front tires are not turning. The dealer has checked the truck and ordered parts...that was 2 weeks ago, and dealer has no idea when the parts will be in. Kia has not responded to the dealer's inquiry. The wire harness that was replaced took a week because Kia sent a faulty harness as a replacement and the part had to be reordered.
