The other car continued to hit my car from behind on the left rear further causing the head on impact and frontal damage. The airbags of my toyota failed to deploy. The airbags of the altima did deploy. Because if the severity of the impact and frontal and other damage, my toyota camry was totaled. The impact also caused the two left side tiresto blow out. Also as the toyota camry jumped the curb, it hit a metal traffic sign causing it to be cut off completely at the bottom.

My 2003 kia sorento kept losing antifreeze and to find out the reservoir had a crack in it. Also, after i purchase bridgestone fire destination tires a year later they were worn after spending $600.00 i had to have two of them replaced within a year. P245/70r16. Also 2 defects recalls when my car was put in the shop one from 2007 sc073 and sc072 when my check engine light came on. It was still on after the car was supposedly fixed by quirk kia in braintree. When i was driving out of the parking lot the check engine light was still on. I was told the car was fine and it was just a sensor and to fix it the cost would be over $200. A year later, i brought it to get a sticker, they rejected my for another recall that should have been fixed when i brought it in last year. The recall was from 2005. Now i am trying to contact the dealership because of the inconvenience of me going to get this fixed when it should have been taken care of last year. I will never buy a kia again, the dealership does not care about their cars or customers.

I had noted that my tires were all four looking bad for no more miles than i had on the car.tires had been rotated each time the oil was changed (3000 miles), since purchasing new.on 08/09/00 went in for oil change and tire rotation and colony tiresuggested that it would not be safe for me to be driving with tires as the left rear had three splits and had separated in one place. The others showed cracks.colony tire called firestone to see about consideration for the tires.at that time he was told of the upcoming recall but these were no a part of recall.since that time i have written the bridgestonefirestone co., ford motor co.called cella ford, also colony tire has sent the tires (4) back to firestone.all this to no avail as all they have on their mind is the recall.which doesn't pay for my having to buy four new tires or run the risk of a fatal accident driving in 90+ degree weather.
