| Description of the problem | I was driving down the freeway at 70 mph when my check engine light illuminated and i immediately lost speed control. My speed began a quick decent to 25 mph. The car would not pick up at all. I made it to the side of the road and turned off the car. I called my husband, he asked a bunch of questions and had me restart the car. The check engine light was still on, but the car accelerated normally so i headed toward home. It happened again. I pulled over, waited and restarted the car. My husband had me go to the auto parts store to have the code read. I have attached pictures of the printouts that include the codes and definitions. I looked up the issue and see across car repair forums that this is a widespread issue with kia vehicles. It's time for nhtsa to force a recall. Corporations would rather pay a wrongful death/injury fine than voluntarily make widespread repairs to mechanisms they know are faulty. Protect our interests; the safety of drivers, our loved ones, the roads and our livelihoods- if i can't get to work reliably, i won't have a job. Why should i have to pay for expensive repairs when the product is faulty across the board. Force a recall. |
