| Description of the problem | When starting up from a stop, the car starts-up very slowly for about 4 or 5 seconds, than appears to jump into gear and takes off like a rocket. This occurs several times a month. The car has been taken back to the dealer several times, but it has not happened when they test drove it so nothing has been done to fix the problem. We complained to kia, and have a complaint no. Also but nothing was done. |
