    Kia Sportage 2012: Diesel stalling
    Answered by Graham Smith · 15 September 2013

    I have forwarded your complaint on to Kia and asked that they have their people look at your car. This is not normal, I reckon it's the dealer that is doing the "Stall Test" and stalling you.

    Kia Sportage 2012: Shuddering brake problem
    Answered by Carsguide.com.au · 12 July 2013

    I too would be frustrated with the treatment you have received, and I would be questioning the competence of the dealership. From your description I would suspect that there is a faulty ABS sensor or similar in one of the rear wheels and what you are experiencing is the ABS activating. We will forward your complain to Kia and request their assistance.

    Kia Sportage 2012: Windscreen cracked twice in same place
    Answered by Carsguide.com.au · 29 March 2013

    I would say the windscreen is too tight in the opening and is under stress, so when it is hit by something like a stone it tends to crack. I would have the dealer measure the opening when installing the nest windscreen and have Kia check it against the specification.
