| Description of the problem | Since january my 2010 kia rio has stalled at traffic stops. It usually starts again after several tries, although recently it needed a jump start. I've taken it to three mechanics who all say they can't find a code or what the problem is. I've tried gas additive, new crank shaft sensor, tune up. Nothing works. I've called kia customer service. There are no recalls but i still have a car i think is unsafe to drive. I've stalled in rush hour traffic on city streets and state roads several times. I have a case number with kia, and plan to take it to kia dealership in one more effort to find code or what's wrong. I don't have repair invoices handy but have spent more than $500. |
