| Description of the problem | Car would not pick up speed as we were leaving from a complete stop took car in 2008 and found the ignition sensor was bad, it was replace car ran good, 2012 car starting with slow speed at acceleration, changed spark plugs, throttle sensor, 2 ignition sensor. Nothing helped. Took car to dealer, kia kept car for 3 days and could not find the trouble. Kia dealer called and notified me it was best to trade in car because it was not worth fixing. As i read reports from other kia car owners it seems everyone has this problem with the amanti but as i was told and many other car owner are informed kia dealers can not find the problem. Kia needs to find a fix to this problem as a kia owner when i need to pick up speed and can't makes you wonder it someone going to hit me. |
