2009 Kia Sportage Electrical system Problems

“A fire started in the engine compartment on the passenger side approximately 45 minutes after parking the vehicle at my place of employment.

From the time I bought the vehicle passanger side window would only roll up from drivers side switch, wouldn't roll its down but will roll up and down from its door switch and the back drivers door window wouldn't roll up or down at all from either switch. Also my back hatch has been stuck in unlock, can hear it working like its locking it but it doesnt actually lock from the door or the glass. …”

“While the car was off and parked in the driveway the car caught on fire in the passenger side of the motor. The entire front part of the car was totaled.”

“The clock spring is not working which deactivates the air bag system and horn. This is an extremely dangerous condition. This should result in a recall immediately.”
