| Description of the problem | Ever since i bought my 2005 kia amanti, i've had issues with the acceleration, lack of acceleration. I took it to dealer when it was still under warranty to let them know sometimes it had no power on initial take off and i would have to just drive it as is until it decided to accelerate properly. Other times i will begin driving from a complete stop and it feels like it just has a tremendous amount of power with the acceleration. I never reported the quick acceleration - i just figured it was the v6 engine, since i've always had a 4- cylinder engine. Now the dealer is claiming i need to replace my throttle body and that it is a $900 part. I have not experienced a car accident due to this problem. |
