I forgot to tell you that the car also would not crank one morning
when I was 200 miles away from home. When I finally got it to the Kia
place it had something to do with the egr valve. Kia fixed it, but it
was a very negative experience. The 30,000 mile thousand mantance
was very costly. It is now coming up on 60,000 mile maintance and
that will really cost me.
In the past I bought Nissan. Very good cars.
