This vehicle stalled out for the first time 1 week after I bought it.(Oct 28, 1999) I contacted Kia regarding this problem when it first happened. I have been to 2 different authorized repair centers and both report that there is no problem with this vehicle. However I see similar problems being reported by other consumers. Could you please help. Thank you, sincerely nicholas P. kalenich.
