I bought a 2000 Kia a month ago "April 11" for $2650. I am physically disabled due to a fire that occurred 13 years ago. I don't want to go into the fire but I was in the hospital for nine months, you can do the math. Last Saturday the transmission started to slip 'badly" and the O/D indicator light started to flash on dashboard my panel.
I did some reading on-line and found that the O/D indicator light "over-drive" refers to a problem with the transmission which explains the slipping. When I bought the car I was given a C.A.R.S warrantee that's good until 7/11/8. I like the car and would like to keep it, but there's no way on Gods green Earth that I am going to borrow another dime from my sister, or fork over the $100 dollar deductible for repairs. With my luck the part wont be covered "the warrantee is cleverly written and very specific on what and what is not covered". I literally live hand to mouth with a monthly disability check that isn't big enough to feed a large dog. I am so visibly scared that I radiate sympathy, people trip over themselves trying to help me, for this place to do this to me is unconscionable, how these *******s live with themselves is a mystery.
