| Description of the problem | I bought my 2005 kia amanti in oct 2005. On four occasions when going from reverse to drive..... A hesitation took place and the car would not accelerate until the accelerator is pushed all the way down.... Then the car would accelerate at top speed. If this ever happened in traffic could cause injury or death. Mentioned this situation to the dealer and nothing can be down unless the "so called" hesitation happened at the time when it was in the shop. *nm |
