For 1996 the Kia Sportage was built one way mechanically: a single 2.0L DOHC four, offered in two trims. This factory service and repair manual is written to the figures Kia published for the 1996 model year, not to those of a later Sportage.
Engines covered
- 2.0L inline-four (122 cu in) — DOHC, naturally aspirated, gasoline
Body styles covered
- 4-door sport utility
Trims covered
- Base
- EX
Known issues on the 1996 Sportage. Three recalls are on federal record for this model year. The first covers the rear hatch lock: a microswitch on the lock cylinder can malfunction and cause the power door locks to unlock inadvertently, so security from unwanted intrusion into the vehicle is lost. The second covers the front seat belt buckle assembly, which can false-latch and expose the driver to unrestrained movement during a crash, so that the seat occupant may not be properly restrained. The third covers the accelerator pedal: the pedal assembly can bind or stick during operation, a condition that can hold the throttle partially open. Owners have filed 98 complaints for the year and Kia has issued 7 technical service bulletins.
From a sticking accelerator pedal to a seat belt buckle inspection, a power door lock fault or a routine service interval, it keeps you on the procedure and the specification Kia wrote for your 1996 Sportage.
ON CERTAIN PASSENGER VEHICLES, THE SAFETY BELT BUCKLE MAY "FALSE LATCH" AND EXPOSE THE DRIVER TO UNRESTRAINED MOVEMENT DURING A CRASH.
Consequence
IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH, THE SEAT OCCUPANT MAY NOT BE PROPERLY RESTRAINED, INCREASING THE RISK OF PERSONAL INJURY.
Remedy
OWNER NOTIFICATION BEGAN DECEMBER 20, 2002. OWNERS WHO TAKE THEIR VEHICLES TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER ON AN AGREED UPON SERVICE DATE AND DO NOT RECEIVE THE FREE REMEDY WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME SHOULD CONTACT KIA AT 1-800-333-4542.
THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL ASSEMBLY COULD BIND OR STICK DURING OPERATION.
Consequence

VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: PASSENGER VEHICLES. A MICROSWITCH ON THE REAR HATCH LOCK CYLINDER CAN MALFUNCTION CAUSING THE POWER DOOR LOCKS TO UNLOCK INADVERTENTLY.
