General Comments

I bought this Kia Carens at six months old in 2003 from a Kia dealer, it has now done 52000 miles, it no been reliable, it had a new injector under warranty, the brakes were binding the dealer didn't want to know. It's had new disc and pads three times at £300 a time, then the injectors failed again the kia could not find the problem. It was taken to a diesel specialist. Kept there for 10 days cost of £400 18 months ago. This week it had to be towed to kia as a none starter. they did a diagnostic test said it was the injector pump. £500 now the car won't run properly they have said the injectors are leaking and sending them for testing this is five days so far. Final bill still unknown.
