Recall on 2002 Kia Sportage

[frogtown]

Our Kia Sportage fan broke 2 years ago, destroyed the fan, radiator, fan clutch, and air condictioner hose. The dealer told us then that Kia knew the fan was defective but would not pay for repairs as they consider this non of the power train or engine. Kia never answered our letters and never gave us one cent on the repairs. Now they admit the thing was defective and issued a recall but still wont pay us. Now the automatic transmission wont shift unless we do it manually and will only run 45 mph. Thats only part of the repair bills we have had. Kia's garuntees are worthless. The Kia Sportage is a piece of junk.

I have a 2002 Sportage and the fan also broke 2 years ago. I had it towed to the dealership and they fixed it for free. I'm not sure if this was because it was still under the 60,000 mile warranty or not.
