2005 Kia Spectra 4dr Sedan

| 65100 mi C $500 |
Heater died and electrical wires under battery were burnt and needed to b replaced with new ones. Window panel buttons were not working properly. They were sticking and draining my battery. |
| 139000 mi | Battery needed to be changed. |
| 100000 mi | Oil temp sensor wiring was cracked. I added new pig tail on it and plugged it back in. Works like a new one. |
| 6922 mi | Latch assembly for the trunk failed, required replacement. Trunk would open while driving and required excessive force to close. While waiting for the part, the blower failed. Took 3 days in the shop to fix it. Burnt Fuse and burnt resistor. |
| 27900 mi C $34 |
An intermittent problem with the blower started after the Jan/06 repair. After multiple visits to the dealership, I found out that the intermittent problem with the blower was due to a fuse that partially melted. |
