2001 Kia Sportage Reviews and Owner Comments

2001 Kia SportageVisitor, Wichita, KS, August 23, 2010 17:53I had a similar problem with my kiia as another poster. Wanted to post that, that when the sheared problem happened, had a new timing belt been installed before it happened? Sounds like the crank bolt sheared from backing out or being overtightened. Make sure who ever installed your salvage motor set the crank bolt to torque specs, which are very tight tolerance.Flag ThisLike0

2001 Kia SportageVisitor, Lynden, WA, April 06, 2010 10:49I bought this car with 28 miles on it in December 2000. For the most part I have been happy. I have to agree with jointer4. The 4wd vac tubes need to be replace every year. Not to hard though. Most of the engine work needs to be done by a Kia engineer it seems.Flag ThisLike0

2001 Kia Sportagejointer4, Zumbrota, MN, January 12, 2009 14:19This vehicle is very difficult to perform any maintenance on. To change the spark plugs for instance a person has to remove quite a few engine components to reveal the plugs. Finding a service repair manual is impossible. Contains a lot of plastic and rubber components that break or fail on numerous occasions. For instance the rubber vacuum lines that control the 4WD continuously need to be replaced. An overall poor quality crafted and designed vehicle.RookieFlag ThisLike0
