I have a 63 plate Kia Sportage KX2.When I hitched up the van, with the correct noseweight, I noticed the back of the car dropped significantly. in fact I couldn't swing the jockey wheel round to raise it because it was so low.I contacted Hedleys Towbars who fitted the towbar and was told they had had "loads " of Sportage owners complaining if the same problem .I spoke to my Kia Dealership who told me that they  had received a couple of complaints too and that Kia are aware of the problem but no solution was imminent.The Caravan Club will only get involved and contact Kia if more than one member(me) reports the same problem. I have fitted Rubber Spring assistors which helps ,but gives a bumpy ride.just wondered whether anyone else has had the same problem.
