THE SOLENOID, & HOSES THAT CONNECT TO IT ARE PLACED IN AN AREA ON THE VEHICLE WHERE THEY ARE SUBJECTED TO THE ELEMENTS-&-IN HARMS WAY OF BEING DAMAGED FROM NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS. I DO NOT HAVE THE SERVICE PAPER WORK ON ME, AT THE MOMENT (I AM AT THE PUBLIC LIBRARY-DOING RESEARCH ON KIA'S MANY SAFETY ISSUES)-IF YOU NEED COPIES OF MY SERVICE RECORDS, OR ANY FURTHER INFO-PLEASE CONTACT ME BY MAIL.  WHEN SOLENOID/HOSES FAILED - I WAS UNAWARE THAT MY 4 WHEEL DRIVE WAS INOPERABLE. THERE WERE MANY TIMES, IN THE WINTER MONTHS- WHERE MY KIA WOULD SLIP/SLIDE-HANDLE ERRATICALLY IN THE SNOW/RAIN. I HAVE LOST TRACK OF THE TIMES I LOST CONTROL OF MY VEHICLE DURING THIS TIME FRAME (2001-2004). NOW I REALIZE THAT IT WAS DUE TO THE 4 WHEEL DRIVE MALFUNCTIONING. I WAS LUCKY ENOUGH TO HAVE JUST SPUN OUT-WITH NO ONE ELSE HITTING ME; THANK GOD FOR THAT. THE SPORTAGE IS VERY UNSAFE TO DRIVE-WHEN IT IS RAINING/SNOWING-IT'S WHEEL BASE MAKES IT DANGEROUS.  THE FIRST SERVICE MANAGER REFUSED TO FIX IT UNDER KIA'S 10 YEAR/ 100,000 COVERAGE-SO I HAD TO PAY $85 TO FIX IT. IT WORKED TWO MORE TIMES, AND NOW THE HUBS ARE SHOT (AFTER A MERE 29,000 MILES). I WAS NAIVE ABOUT KIA'S RECORD AT THE TIME. I HAVE SEEN THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS ON THE INTERNET ABOUT KIA NOW- AND I WANT THE TRUTH ABOUT THEM TO COME OUT.  I HAVE CONTACED KIA ABOUT MY PROBLEM(S) MANY TIMES. THEY ARE VERY SMUG, AND KNOWLEGEABLE ABOUT WHAT THEY DO NOT HAVE TO DO FOR YOU. IF THEY SPENT 1/2 THE MONEY THAT THEY DID ON HAVING A SLICK LAW FIRM WRITE THEIR 10 YEAR COVERAGE PLAN-AS THEY DID MAKING A SAFE/RELIABLE VEHICLE-MANY PEOPLE WOULD BE MUCH SAFER FOR IT.  *AK","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2001","productMake":"KIA","productModel":"SPORTAGE","manufacturer":"Kia America, Inc."}]}]}
