| Description of the problem | I picked up this 2018 kia forte vehicle on 4/4/2018 which had approximately 18 miles on the odometer so i'm not sure if this issue is because the vehicle is still new or because i just traded in a 2016 ford fiesta & just not used to this vehicle.. What i've noticed is that the gas pedal sticks a little & doesn't respond right away to foot pressure, but i'm a small person so foot pressure is not as heavy as big person.. I just wanted to note this issue just in case it does become an ongoing problem.. |
