Clutch problems on Kia sportage ignite
I bought a car four years ago, when it was new, it had a problem of gear number 1. I was not aware that it is a problem until i was told during one of the service that it is a gearbox problem. They worked on gearbox and the problem was resolved. Here comes the new problem, the car had a funny sound and i took it back to Kia the Glen and i was told that the problem is clutch and they will replace it under warranty. After some few km (not sure exactly but it was before my 120 000km) the same sound came back, i took the car back to Kia the Glen. I gave the car to another gentlemen who drove with me, and concluded that the problem is with the front disc and probably the breakpads. i didnt have capital to fix the disc and i was driving the car and the sound became worse, and when i took the car to 135 000, i was told that the problem is within the clutch and i have to pay R 15 000 to get it fixed. My view 1. I bought a car with a factory fault, this was confirmed by one of the service consultant during the replacement of gearbox 2. I'm of the view, that the clutch that have used to my car is either of low quality or have factory defects May you please assist
